Hierarchy location

A hierarchy location is a string of letters and numbers that identifies where the asset is in the physical hierarchy. APM constructs a full hierarchy location using the code that you enter in the Hierarchy code box joined with the hierarchy codes for its parent/ancestors. The codes are separated by a period (.). Hierarchy locations are updated whenever the asset or one of its ancestors is moved within the hierarchy (or if a hierarchy code changes).

Cancellation method

The means by which the failure was cancelled. Cancellation methods are: • Alarm Unacknowledged: When a failure is created in the process of acknowledging an alarm and the acknowledgement is later reversed, the failure is automatically cancelled. • Indicator Reading Marked as Incorrect: When an indicator reading is marked as “fixed during inspection”, a failure record is created automatically. If the reading is later marked as incorrect, the failure is automatically cancelled. • Manual: A user selected or opened the failure and used the Cancel command.
