- Under Actions Performed find “Integrity Assessment”.
- In the Integrity Assessment Value field, in the drop-down menu select “Yes”.
- Click **Next**.
- Under Conditions Found in the “Integrity Status” Value field select “Use PLSS Remaining Life”.
- Under Conditions Found in the “Next Inspection Date Status” Value select “Override Next Inspection Date”.
- Under Conditions Found in the “Next Inspection Date Override” Value select the applicable date.
