# Creating PLSS Campaigns Type Underwater Eq. Activities

Take note

This overview shows an example of how to create an IMS-PLSS Campaign of the type Underwater Eq. Activity.

The import files used in this part of the handbook are available in the [*IMS-PLSS Campaign Import Excelfiles.zip*](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/User%20Manual%20IMS-PLSS%2009%20Campaign%20Import%20Excelfiles.zip?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D).

In this Example an Underwater Survey should be performed on the following Equipment:

- MARSBTLP-FWJ-8105
- MARSBTLP-FFJ-8111
- MARSBTLP-FWJ-8104
- MARSBTLP-FLT-8120
- MARSBTLP-FWJ-8106
- MARSBTLP-UEM-8190
- MARSBTLP-GAY-8100
- MARSBTLP-FWJ-8103
- MARSBTLP-FLT-8110
- MARSBTLP-UHM-8191
- MARSBTLP-FWJ-8102
- MARSBTLP-FAY-8110
- MARSBTLP-FAY-8120

For most of these pieces of Equipment, the Inspection Locations have been defined. For example, for the Equipment "MARSBTPLP-FLT-8110" the following five:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-nbm1lr5s.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

Note that the Type is a mandatory field, should this be changed to Optional, otherwise Other, or the “-“ should be added as option.

In this example, we will create the FLOCs and Equipment first. Normally, these are available in PLSS.

Steps to create the Workpack and import data after the inspection has been performed:

1. Import the FLOCs, only needed to run this example.
2. Import the equipment, only needed to run this example.
3. Import Inspection Locations.
4. Create the inspection Schedules.
5. Add the Scope, Plancode and Inspection Locations to the Schedules.
6. Final approved the Schedules.
7. Create the Campaign.
8. Select the Equipment for this Campaign.
9. Select the Schedules for this Campaign.
10. Review Anomalies.
11. Review the Scope
12. Final approve the Campaign.
13. Create the Workpack.
14. Execute the work.
15. Import the data.
16. Close the Campaign.

Note that step 1 to 9 is normally a once-off setup for the Campaign. Once a Campaign has been completed and a new one created the user will start at step 10. Steps 1 to 9, with the new schedule numbers, will automatically be copied to the new campaign.

## Step 1: Import the FLOCs

The FLOCs can be created in your test environment by importing the file *Step 1 ImportFlocs.xlsx*

The file has the following layout::

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-fpa5ycrr.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

Note that in this import file the specified "Unit ID", in column A, is set to *Example Campaign*. So, this unit has to be added to the hierarchy, otherwise, you will get an error during the import.

In the Import wizard, **Browse** (1) to the import file, select the FLOC (2) and click **Next** (3):

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-o4nr185n.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

After clicking **Next** you will be guided through the steps. All fields are filled in, only the Next button has to be clicked.

## Step 2: Import the Equipment

The Equipment is in file *Step 2 Import Equipments.xlsx.*

To import the Equipment:

- Browse to the above-mentioned file.
- Select the option "Equipment".
- Click **Next.**

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-zcbu8udv(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

When the Equipment is imported, the 13 pieces of Equipment will be shown in the Equipment Main screen. In the example only the Unit "Example Campaign" has been selected:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-0euprqje(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

If there are more pieces of Equipment under this Unit, which is possible if you have run the example [Creating PLSS Campaign Type Corrosion Assessment Pipelines](/v414/docs/creating-plss-campaign-type-corrosion-assessment-pipelines), then it may be good to select the 13 pieces of Equipment and click the *Pin* button.

## Step 3: Import the Inspection Locations

The Inspection Locations are defined in the Excel file *Step 3 Import Inspection location.xlsx* with the following layout:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-1qgm54xv.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

To import Inspection Locations:

- Browse to the above-mentioned file.
- Select the import option "Inspection Location".
- Click **Next** a few times.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-l1m9v4vp(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

On the Equipment the Inspection Location grid will look as follows:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-nrc3a9hf.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

## Step 4: Import the Schedules

The Schedules are defined in the Excel file *Step 4 Import Schedules.xlsx* with the following layout:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-7f6w0y33.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

To import the Schedules:

- **Browse** to the file.
- Select the Schedules.
- Click **Next** a few times.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-l95ejwl6(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

After the Schedules have been imported, they are shown in the Schedule menu grid (in the example below the 13 pieces of Equipment have been pinned):

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-90yk65e2.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

## Step 5: Import the Scope, Plancodes, Inspection Locations, Instructions

This is not an easy step and requires some knowledge of Excel functions, for example, the VLOOKUP function.

In this import:

- The Schedule number from the previous step should be used.
- The Scope and Plancodes should be linked to the Schedule number.
- The Inspection Locations for the Equipment should be linked to the Plancode.
- Instructions for Plancodes.

For example:

![Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-5jykamyp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

Note that :

- Columns A and B, the Schedule number and Equipment can be extracted from PLSS by selecting all the rows in the menu Schedule and clicking the *Export* button.
- Column B, the Equipment ID, is not required on the import but is added here to link the Schedule number, Plancodes and Inspection Locations.
- Column C, the Scope is always "UNDERWATER EQ. ACTIVITIES".
- Column D, the Plancodes, for each Plancode that should be added the cells in columns A, B and C should be copied to a new row.
- Column E, the Inspection location for each Plancode. For each Inspection Location that should be added the cells in columns A, B, C and D should be copied.
- Column F, the Instruction Text

After you've updated the file, import it:

- **Browse** to the file.
- Select the import option Scope and Plancodes.
- Click **Next** a few times.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-hw131211.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

When the import of the, the Scope, Plancode, Inspection Locations and Instructions is done, the Schedule for Equipment "MARSBTLP-FAY-8100" will look as follows:

![Graphical user interface, text, email Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-rsh00h7y.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

### 

## 

## Step 10: Add previous Anomaly information to the Campaign

The Anomalies will be exported to the Workpack in a separate worksheet. The Anomaly number will be shown in the Workpack.

## Step 11: Review the Campaign Scope

In this section, an overview of Equipment, Schedules, Inspection Locations and Plancodes that will be exported to the Campaign Workpack is shown.

![Table Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-9zoktjsw.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

Before the Workpack Scope can be exported, the Campaign has to be Final Approved.

## Step 12: Final approve the Campaign

To approve the Campaign:

- Click the green **Approve** button.

![Graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-nk7h208g.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

First, it will show this overview.

![Graphical user interface, application, table Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/campaign-temp-image-d3ecstvp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T16%3A00%3A53Z&se=2026-10-28T17%3A00%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=qlI4ogs2u2WUNJZMfaCRxX%2FfQEoM9w4zayu5EeCfYcM%3D)

After clicking on **Approve,** the Campaign date will be shown on the Schedule as an Event Date and the Next Inspection date for the Schedule will be updated to the Campaign date (if this date was before the user date).

In the example below the Next inspection date is set to 8-Dec-2021, the Campaign date:

1. The option to add Attachments via this import will be implemented in a future release. Attachments can be imported in bulk via the attachment import.
2. In the Workpack scope columns can be hidden for the inspection engineer who is executing the work, for example, the last three columns. This will be implemented in a future release.

## Step 14: Perform Inspection and fill in the Data in the Workpack

In the zip file, you will find an example file PIMS_Workpack_ExportUnderwaterEq-export-for-import-Metrics.xlsx with data filled in.

## Step 15: Import the Workpack

Browse to the Excel file, in the example below PIMS_Workpack_ExportUnderwaterEq-export-for-import-Metrics.xlsx,

Select the option "Underwater Eq Activities" and click the **Next** button a few times to import the data:

At step 5 of the import, the ECHs have been created with data filled in.

## Step 17: Investigate the Findings

Review the Findings on the ECHs and determine if these should be added to PLSS as an Anomaly.

## Step 18: Close the Campaign and create a new one

When all the Schedules have been credited in an ECH and all these ECHs have been Final approved, then the Campaign will automatically become Inactive and its status will be set to "Closed".

If it was a recurring campaign then a new campaign will be created.
