Filling out the Record

Enter the Inspection Date (required).
- The combination of Valve Number and Inspection Date must form a unique combination.
If the valve is being exercised, check the Exercised box, enter the Exercised Date, and the Number of Turns.
Complete other fields as desired.
Check the Maintenance Requested or Needs Repair fields to automatically create a Request or Work Order for the valve.
Click the button to save the record. The new Inspection record appears in the grid.

Inspection Date	Indicates the calendar date on which the control valve was last inspected. (The system automatically completes this field using the Inspection Date from the most recent Control Valve Inspection record.)
Inspection Freq	Specifies the number of Inspection Frequency Units that should occur between inspections.
Inspection Freq Units	Indicates the type of date units (e.g., weeks, months, years, etc.) referenced in the Inspection Freq field.
Next Inspection	Suggests the date that the next inspection should occur. Lucity calculates this date in one of two ways: If the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units fields are populated, the system will calculate this field automatically based on the Inspection Date field. If an agency has set the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units and a user entered a Next Insp Date on the previous Inspection, the program uses the sooner date. Example: An inspection was completed on 8/15/2014. The user entered the Next Insp Date as 12/3/2014, but the calculated date is 8/15/2015. The Next Inspection date is displayed as 12/3/2014. Users can filter records by the Next Inspection Date to identify valves that need to be inspected.
Last Exercised Date	Indicates the date the control valve was last exercised. The system completes this field automatically using the Exercised Date from the most recent Inspection record.
Turns to Exercise	Indicates the number of turns it took to exercise the control valve the last time it was exercised. The system completes this field automatically using the Number of Turns from the most recent Inspection record.
