Filtering FLOCs

Use filters to narrow the displayed FLOC records. You can use several filters to drill down the search results.

To filter FLOCs, do the following:

Click on the filter button.
Select the checkbox(es) next to the filters that you want to use.
Click Show.

Note
If you wish to remove any applied filters, click the Clear all filters button on the toolbar.

Filters include items such as:

FLOC Range (populate this field with multiple FLOCs for a direct search)
FLOCs with/without Equipment
Inspection Reason (e.g. CLASS 1, CLASS 2)
Location Type / Hierarchy Type (for example, EXCHANGER-FLOC, VESSEL-FLOC, PIPE-FLOC)
With/without Circuit
With/without Inspection Reason

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

Moving FLOCs

You can move a FLOC from one Unit to another. To move a FLOC, do the following:

From the FLOC main grid, items can be moved to another Unit, using button in the Toolbar. A new screen will appear where the user can select the new Parent (i.e. Unit) to which the FLOC will be moved. Also see PEI Hierarchy - Overview.

On the FLOC Main Screen, select the checkbox of the FLOC you wish to move.
On the Toolbar, click the Hierarchy button.
On the Move FLOC(s) screen, select the new Parent (Unit) to which you wish to move the FLOC.
Click Move.

You have successfully moved a FLOC form one Unit to another. For more information on where FLOCs are positioned compared to other objects such as Unites, see RCM Hierarchy.
