Configure Asset Updates for an Inspection Template

Asset Updates are used to update a field on the assets attached to an inspection when the inspection is closed. This information is pushed back into the GIS to keep an updated record of your asset information.

PREREQUISITES: Asset Groups must be configured under GIS > Asset Groups. See Configure Assets for more information. Observations must be added on the Observations tab. See Configure Branch Observations or Configure Linear Observations for more information.

1. Select a custom inspection template from the Templates panel.
2. Click the Asset Configuration tab on the Details panel.

The Asset Updates section shows existing asset updates.

3. Click Add to add a new asset update.

4. Select the Available Asset Types. This field is populated based on the Apply to Entities section defined on the General tab.
5. Select the Asset Fields that will be updated.
6. Select either Custom Value or Inspection Field to specify how the asset field will be updated.

• Select Custom Value to update the field with a custom value. Enter the desired value.
• Select Inspection Field to update the field with a value from a field on the inspection. Select the field.
• Select the Inspection Observation to associate this asset update to.

NOTE: Inspection Observations can only be mapped to text fields in the GIS. If this field is grayed out, then Asset Fields is not set as a text field.

7. Click Add.
8. To remove an Asset update, select it and click Delete.

NOTE: Designer automatically saves the changes you make. A notification will appear in the top-right corner of the window that says Data Saved when you make changes to the page.
