Action Category

A picklist of Action Categories to assign one of, to the Defect, so helping with its categorization for assessment.

Work Required
/
Monitor

Check boxes, to determine whether an Action should be created for the Defect now, or whether it can be monitored for deterioration.

Due to other work priorities and budget constraints it may not be possible to repair all Defects immediately, so these flags provide a way to filter Defects to a more manageable list. On the next Inspection it may be found that the Defect is worse, so it might then be marked as Work Required.

Element (name of an Element List)

This picklist provides selection of the part of the Asset, where the Defect is.

This picklist is created in the Code Editor in the Elements section, with its Caption appearing as the picklist name e.g. Footpaths, set in the Asset Type Attributes. It means that you can record Defects on different parts of an Asset.

Defect Condition

A System List used in conjunction with the above checkboxes to help prioritise Defects.

Defect Priority

A System List to highlight the priority of the Defect. It has been superseded by the Priority functionality of Standard Defects but can still be used, if so desired.

Cost Estimate

An estimate of the repair cost, to help determine, which defects are repaired first.

Material required

To record the primary material needed to repair the Defect.

If the System Option is not ticked, the Defect gets the earliest Action Completion Date, when all Actions for it are Complete.
