Schedules Settings

The tables in the Inspection/Schedules section of the Settings Menu are used widely throughout IMS and are being used for configuration per Hierarchy Type. The information that is being maintained is mainly related to schedules and includes information such as Event Types, Extension/Deferral reasons, Inspection Types, Schedule Categories and Drivers, Special emphasis, and Inspection Time Intervals.

These subsections can be maintained by CSA and INSP ADMIN users.

To speed up Schedule creation, default data can be defined here for the following fields:

• Schedule Driver.

• Responsible Discipline.

• Schedule Category.

• User NID.

Note: This data can also be defined in Configuration \ Configuration per Hierarchy Type (see Configuration per Hierarchy Type – Inspection Types). To prefill the above fields, IMS will first check if default values are defined in the Configuration and use that, if not defined there, the default values from Inspection/Schedules Settings will be used.

 

SAP Status

Here the SAP Statuses can be viewed/edited/added/deleted.

Schedule Category

Here the Schedule Categories can be viewed/edited/added/deleted.

The default Schedule Categories are:

• Category 1 – Integrity Issue

• Category 2 – Reliability Issue

• Category 3 - Long Term Inspection or Reliability Issue

The CSA can add new Categories and also assign Business logic to determine when to show Categories. 

To learn more about Schedule Categories see Creating Schedules.

Schedule Driver

Here the Schedule Drivers can be viewed/edited/added/deleted.

Special Emphasis

Here the Special Emphasis categories can be viewed/edited/added/deleted. A Special Emphasis provides a way to designate a Risk Based Maximum Inspection Intervals (MII) for a corrosion Circuit (see Corrosive Deadlegs - Step 12) or an Inspection Schedule. A Special Emphasis can be assigned to a Circuit or an Inspection Schedule on the Circuit Details Page or the Schedule Details Page (see Assigning Special Emphasis to a Circuit or Inspection Schedule). This is only available for Circuits or recurring Inspection Schedules belonging to a Pipe or Piping System Equipment. For each, a Default Interval and a Max Interval are configured in Settings \ Configuration \ Configuration per Hierarchy Type (see Configuration per Hierarchy Type).

For more information see PEI Special Emphasis.
