Thank you for your feedback

The Circuits Main screen shows an overview grid, with a list of Circuits.

Listing Circuits (the Overview Grid)

To see the list of registered Circuits:

Go to the IMS Main Menu.
Click Circuits to go to the Circuits main screen.

Click on the Circuits Main menu, to list all Circuits.

Use the scoping bar, the filter, or the search functionality to list the desired Circuits.

Find Circuits using the scoping bar / filter / search functionality.

If desired, expand or collapse a Circuit record using respectively the and button in the record row.

The Circuits Main Screen, showing one record expanded.

Each record shows several fields, summarizing the Circuits (see the table below). To see more, click on the Settings icon in the toolbar and add additional fields.

Click on the settings icon to modify the grid.

Default Circuit data in the Circuit record:

Section	Field /Column	Description
Hierarchy	RL Classification	The Remnant Life icon shows the (worst) remaining life classification for the selected Circuit: >= 2 SD intervals >= 1 and < 2 SD intervals Less than SD interval Less than 1 year remaining (SD = Shutdown = the Unit’s Turnaround date)
	Active	The Active flag shows for each Circuit whether it is active or inactive: Active Circuit Inactive Circuit
	Circuit ID	Name of the Circuit, click on the Circuit ID to open the Circuit details.
	Description	Short Description for the selected Circuit.
	Equipment ID	Equipment to which the Circuit is assigned to, click on the Equipment ID to open the Equipment details.
	Unit	Unit to which the Circuit and Equipment is assigned to.
	Component ID	Component from which the Circuit can inherit Interval Factor (optional).
Schedules	Next Insp Date	Next Inspection Date of Circuit’s assigned Corrosion Schedule.
	Pending NID	When there is an unapproved event, the pending next inspection date is shown. This will be the actual next inspection date once approved.
	Exact Time Interval	Worst time interval on corrosion Schedule, either time based or calculated.
	Remnant Life	(Worst) Remnant Life Date from calculated CMLs.
Calculation Summary (IDAP)	Total IF	Driving Interval Factor (IF) from either RBI or IMS.
	IF Strategy	Circuit’s Interval Factor Strategy, either LOWEST, IMS or RBI.
	LID	Last Inspection Date or last date for which Measurement data is registered.
	SCR	Suggested Corrosion Rate.
	Governing Rate	This is the driving (worst) CR, from Short, Long, etc.
	Required Inspection Method	A required Inspection Method (e.g. UT, RT) can be set for all measurement for the Circuit (optional). This will then show here.
	Basis	Governing basis from the current Calculation Summary.
	Pending status	Type of Inspection Event (i.e. Insp Complete, Recalculation) from the current Calculation Summary.
	Status	Status of the current Calculation Summary.
	Special Emphasis	Special Emphasis being registered for the Circuit (only applicable for some Equipment Groups).
	Labels	Custom labels which can be assigned to each record.
	Calculation Method	Applied Calculation method, either: PLR, PSR, CAR, LR (including Circuit averages) PLR, PSR, LR Default Calc Method is set automatically based on Equipment Group for the Circuit.

There are several shortcuts or available features that the Circuit toolbar can be used for. For more information on the Toolbar see IMS Main Screen (Grid List).

Filtering Circuits

From the Circuits overview page, several filters can be used to drill down the search results for the shown list of Circuits.

To filter a list:

Click on the filter button.
Check the filters that you want to use.
Click Show ….

For more information on filters see IMS Main Screen (Grid List).

Moving Circuits

From the Circuit main grid, items can be moved to another Equipment, using button in the Toolbar. A new screen will appear where the user can select the new Parent (i.e. Equipment) to which the Circuit will be moved.
