This article explains how to add Observations from an ISO Drawing to a new or existing Equipment Condition Histories (ECHs).

First you need to selectin a section in an ISO Drawing. Then you can either add the Observations related to that section in the ISO Drawing to a new ECH or to an existing ECH. This can also be done from the CML tool.

Selecting the ISO Drawing section to add

To select the ISO Drawing section:

  • Go to FLOC Main Screen. 
  • Change the view to "Plot". Note: In this view you can see all Plot Drawings. 
On the FLOC Main Screen change the view to "Plot". 
  • Click on the Full Screen button on the applicable Plot Drawing to open it.
Click Full Screen to open the Plot Drawings. 
  • Click the Edit button in the right sidebar.
Click the Edit button. 
  • Draw a rectangle (or other shape)in the applicable section of the Drawing.
  • Click the Select Arrow button in the top left of the tool. 
  • With Select, long press the created rectangle to get the context menu with two options.

    With Select, long press the created rectangle to get the context menu with two options.

Now you can either create a new ECH or add to an exiting ECH.

Creating a new ECH

After you selected the section on the ISO Drawing you can create a new ECH:

  • Click Create New ECH.
Click Create New ECH. 
  • A pop-up will open. Fill in the details for the new ECH.
    Fill in the new ECH details.
  •  If any of the elements inside that rectangle (or other shape) is mapped to a CML, it will be checked in the right side of the pop-up. You can also check any of the other CMLs if needed. The checked CMLs will be included in the newly created ECH.
Select the CMLs to be included in the ECH.
  • Click Save. 
  • In step 2, select the applicable Dynamic Form Checklist (in this case we will select an AIR Form).
Select the Dynamic Form. 


  • In step 3, add the applicable Observations in the Dynamic Form.
  • Click Done when all Observations have been added.
    Add the Observations and click Done. 
  • The Completion step will appear. Click Go to created ECH. This will close the current window and go to the ECH. Note: You can also right click the link to open it in a new tab.
  • On the ECH Details Page, scroll down to the Inspection data and codes section where you can see all of the assigned Observations in the new ECH.
Review the ECH. 

Adding to an exiting ECH

After you selected the section on the ISO Drawing you can add the selection to an exiting ECH:

  • Click Add to existing ECH.
Click Add to existing ECH. 
  • A pop-up will open with a list of all of the existing ECHs in the database.
    A pop-up will show the existing ECH.
    • In step 1, select an ECH (and applicable CMLs) and click Select. 
    • In step 2, select the applicable Dynamic Form Checklist, if not already selected.
    • In step 3, update the Dynamic Form with the relevant Observations. In the below example we added "Cups (heavy)" to the existing Dynamic Form.
    Add the Observations. 
  • Click Done when all Observations have been added.
  • The Completion step will appear. Click Go to ECH. This will close the current window and go to the ECH. Note: You can also right click the link to open it in a new tab.
  • On the ECH Details Page, scroll down to the Inspection data and codes section where you can see the newly assigned Observations in the existing ECH.
Review the ECH. 

Creating ECHs / Adding to ECHs from CMLs

The same process (create new ECH  / Add to excising ECH) can be followed by selecting mapped CMLs:

  • Open the ISO Drawing in full screen.
  • Click the CML button.
    Click the CML button. 
  • Right-click on the CML to open the context menu
The context menu will open. 
  • You can then follow the same process (create new ECH  / Add to excising ECH). In this case you will have a pre-checked CML on the right side of the pop-up
    CML will be pre-checked.
