The TV and Lamp Infiltration tab contains a grid that stores a list of infiltration-type defects with the potential for leakage into the system. Users can add records to this grid and then may assign each defect a flow rating based on the severity and type of damage the defect can cause to the pipe.
A sample of the grid appears below. Sort records in the grid by clicking on the headings. An up or down arrow (highlighted in orange below) indicates whether data appear in ascending or descending order.
Right-click in the grid to add a record.
Right-click on an existing record for options to View Record, Add Record, Edit Record, or Delete Record.
Right-click in the grid and select Add Record. The following window will appear:
Click the Defect. The list of existing codes and defects/problems appears. These items represent the defects observed during the inspection.
Note: The system provides a default list of 16 defects, each with estimated ratings. These defects and ratings can be modified as needed.
To add another Defect click the Add button. The following dialog box appears:
Entera unique code in the Code field and the new defect in the Description field.
Click OK. The code-description is added to the existing list.
Note: Some users may not have rights to add to or edit this list. See your system administrator for details.
Scroll down and highlight the code-description in the list and click Select.
Add any ratings in the appropriate fields (circled in red below). The flow rating system is used to prioritize pipe restoration and repairs. The higher the flow rating, the more urgent the need for repair.
Mark the checkbox if this defect applies to or is found in Building Connections (e.g., Wye Service, Break-In Conn, Extended Tap).
Save and Close the record.
Note: When a rating is edited, the change only affects data from that point on; that is, past inspections will not be modified unless the user runs the "Recalc All" option (under System Tools).
