Adding a Facility Inspection Record

Information in this section covers the following scenarios for adding a record in the Inspection grid:

•	adding an inspection record for an existing facility (step 6)

•	adding a new facility with an inspection record (step 7)

Complete the following steps:

1	Click the Select ROWs button to open the Select ROWs window (Figure 7-4). Select one or more pipeline segments with facilities you want to work with, then click Save to close the window.

2	Open the Edit <module> Data window. For example, click Data Entry > Edit CPDM Data to open the Edit CPDM Data window (Figure 7-12).

3	Open the Inspection grid for a facility type. For example, click the Inspection tab and then a facility type button, such as Test Point .

Note: Although the CPDM module and test point facility type are both referenced in this procedure, instructions apply to any PCS Axis module and facility type.

4	If you want to collapse the Selected ROWs panel to view more of the grid, click the Selected ROWs bar. Clicking the bar again expands the panel.
