In three expanding, editable sections.
Things to be aware of:
When you create a Defect from a Standard Defect, the Defect Description is based on the combined Asset and Standard Defect descriptions. The Standard Defect data is copied to the new Defect, leaving unfilled fields for you to do.
You can create an Ad Hoc Defect, where you do all of the data entry including changing the description from New Defect.
With CMTPC:
Creating Defects is best done in the field by an Inspector:
•Download an Inspection Program of Assets and existing Inspection records
•During the Asset Inspection process, record Defects, or if there are no Defects, record a “Tag” Inspection on the Asset
•After the Inspection Program is complete, upload it to Conquest
•In Conquest, use a View that displays the newly recorded Defects, to assess the information from each and establish the priority of work to be done. Determine the Defects to be repaired, select the Create Action Task for each Defect to establish the required Actions to complete repairs, or alternatively, relate the Defect to an existing Action. Note: The new Action will be assigned to the lowest level common parent in the Asset Hierarchy
•Issue the necessary Actions to contractors or works crews for the repairs to be conducted. When finished, return to each Action in Conquest and select the Complete Action Task. All Defects that have been related to that Action will be marked as Complete
