When you do this, keep the specific Component/DM’s S-RBI results (Inspection Strategy, Inspection Effectiveness), which you reviewed in [Step 11](/v414/docs/step-11-review-the-results-nid-mii-is-inspection-effectiveness), in mind. Remember to consult the [Guidance per Special Emphasis](/v414/docs/special-emphasis-components) Component and the [Guidance per DM](/v414/docs/guidance-per-degradation-mechanism-implementation-and-interpretation) as well (see the summary tables in [Methodology Step 11](/v414/docs/methodology-step-11) and [Methodology Step 12](/v414/docs/methodology-step-12)). ![A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-12-image-bk9rx8bv.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A57Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A57Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fvZEuaEWBKb0Q1vTDvdzlgsuIymStr%2FHmtt2nkBbEqE%3D)Click **What is planned?** to select the Plan Codes and the Parts according to the S-RBI results.  - Review/Update the Schedule Details section and specifically: - If the Schedule is a TA Candidate, ensure the box is checked. See [Tying Schedules to Upcoming Events](/v414/docs/tying-schedules-to-upcoming-events). - Ensure that the Ignore RBI Interval/NID box is unchecked if you do want the RBI Interval/NID to take part in the [horserace](/v414/docs/next-inspection-date-nid-horserace). - Also Review/Update: - Schedule Requirements: Intrusive, Recurring, Offline, etc. - Time-Based data: User Date, User interval (only applicable when Schedule is [Recurring](/v414/docs/schedule-lifecycle)), Event Date (see [Tying Schedules to Upcoming Events](/v414/docs/tying-schedules-to-upcoming-events)). - Narrative / Scope of schedule. See [IMS Details Page](/v414/docs/ims-details-page-options). - Tasks. - Attachments - remember that drawings / photos can be annotated. See [IMS Details Page](/v414/docs/ims-details-page-options). ### Approve Schedule When done, [](/v414/docs/approving-inspection-schedules)[Approve the Inspection Schedule](/v414/docs/approving-inspection-schedules). Note: When the Component/DM RBI assessment was added to the scope, the Schedule would have gone into Draft. For more detail on Inspection Schedules, refer to [PEI Schedules](/v414/docs/schedules-overview). ### Optional: Edit / Defer Schedule See [Approving, Editing and Deferring Schedules](/v414/docs/approving-editing-and-extending-schedules) (as well as [Deferral Process for Schedules](/v414/docs/deferring-schedules)) for more information on this. ## For Corrosion DMs: Assign S-RBI Results to a Corrosion Schedule ### Link S-RBI IF to Circuit For a Component/Corrosion DM assessment, to link the S-RBI IF to the Circuit: - Go to the associated Circuit detail page (see [IMS Details Page](/v414/docs/ims-details-page-options)). - In the Details section, find IF Strategy. Verify that this is set to “SRBI”. - Also verify that the RBI Component that was analyzed, is listed as an Inherit Component. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-12-image-s1adwif8.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A57Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A57Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fvZEuaEWBKb0Q1vTDvdzlgsuIymStr%2FHmtt2nkBbEqE%3D)Verify the the Circuit’s IF Strategy is set to “SRBI” and the the Inherit RBI Component is selected. - If this is not the case, click **Edit** and set the inheritance by specifying the IF Strategy and Inherent Component. - Take note of the NID Calculation Method and change if desired. - The Ignore Calculation Interval is normally not checked. Note: If you do check this, neither the S-RBI IF nor any other IF will be used to calculate the NID. The NID will then always be time-based (IF = 0.5). - Click **Save** when done. ### Specify Inspection Technique and Coverage To Specify the required combination of inspection technique and coverage: - Refer to the applicable DM’s Required Inspection Effectiveness and resulting inspection technique and coverage as determined in [Step 11](/v414/docs/step-11-review-the-results-nid-mii-is-inspection-effectiveness). Also refer to the additional guidelines specified in [Methodology Step 12](/v414/docs/methodology-step-12), regarding the number and location of the CMLs. - In the Circuit’s Details section, click **Edit**. - Specify the inspection technique by selecting the Required Inspection Method from the dropdown list, and click **Save** when done. Note: The Technique can also be defined on CML level. More detail on the NDE examination can be added to the narrative of the Corrosion Schedule. - Scroll to the bottom of the Summary/Messages section. - On the **CML** tab, click **+** to create the Corrosion Measurement Locations (CMLs). Alternatively, import CMLs in bulk, via Settings \ Data Transfer \ Import Data (see [Importing Data via Settings](/v414/docs/importing-data-via-settings)). Note: When creating the CMLs, you can specify the Required Inspection Method for each CML. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-12-image-o8i24awd.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A57Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A57Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fvZEuaEWBKb0Q1vTDvdzlgsuIymStr%2FHmtt2nkBbEqE%3D)Create CMLs based on required Inspection Effectiveness and guidelines is Section 7. For more information on CMLs refer to [PEI Circuits](/v414/docs/pei-circuits-overview) and [PEI Corrosion Calculations and Calc Summary](/v414/docs/pei-corrosion-calcs-overview). ### Approve Calc Summary To [](/v414/docs/approving-corrosion-circuit-calculations)[Approve the Calc Summary](/v414/docs/approving-corrosion-circuit-calculations): - Scroll up to the Summary/Messages section.
