Checking the Current State of Indicators

There are two main ways to view the current state of asset indicators: from the site and from an asset.

This topic explains how:

•	To View Indicators from the Site

•	To View Indicators from an Asset

To View Indicators from the Site

1.	From the site, select the Inspection Management view, Indicators tab.

2.	Do either of the following:

•

Select the By Asset Hierarchy tab. The physical hierarchy is shown in a tree on the left. If there are alarms or warnings on indicators, you can see them here. Alarms and warnings that are serious enough show up on parent assets in the hierarchy. Note that the hierarchy might not display all alarms and warnings on parent assets, depending on how APM has been set up for your organization.

Tip: You can expand the asset hierarchy to view alarms and warnings on individual assets. To expand the hierarchy and see more assets, click the plus signs ().

•	Select the By Asset Map Location tab. The assets are displayed in geographically in a map on the left.

3.	Select an asset to view its indicators in the table on the right. In this table, you can select “Indicators currently in alarm” from the list of configurations. Alarm statistics are shown below the table. Here is an example of the By Asset Hierarchy tab:

Several table configurations are available, including indicators due to be collected, indicators next inspection, degradation rates, indicator searching criteria, and collection inactive.

Tip: The alarm gauges on this tab are displayed when “APM standard sidebars” is selected as your employee record’s site sidebars set. For more information, see Adding an Employee.

4.	You can acknowledge any of the warnings or alarms displayed on the tabs. Right-click the indicator and click Acknowledge Alarm. For detailed instructions, see Acknowledging Indicator Alarms and Warnings.
