Setting Up Inspection Assessment Types

Assessment types identify the results available for assessing an inspection, for example, Pass and Fail. You add, modify, or delete assessment types and codes for inspections on the Assessment Type pages.

An assessment type includes one or more assessment codes, which identify the possible results for the inspection type. Assessment types are also used for inspection checklist and checklist item results.

Assessment types function independently of the scoring method, maximum score, and minimum score, for example:

  • If the system result is Pass or Corrected, the full score is assigned.

  • If the system result is Other or Fail, the score is 0.

Scoring for each system result is predefined in the system for inspections.

This example illustrates the Assessment Type Details page containing the field values described in the following table.

Assessment Type Details page

Adding Inspection Assessment Types

  1. Select Inspection Setup > Assessment Type.

  2. On the Assessment Type page, click Add to add an assessment type.

  3. On the Assessment Type Details page, enter an assessment type name and description.

  4. In the Assessment Details section, click Add in the assessment code row.

  5. Enter values in the fields of the assessment code row:

    Page Element

    Description

    Assessment

    Enter a code name.

    Description

    Enter descriptive text for the code.

    System Result

    Select the system-defined result value that you want to set for this assessment code:

    • Other

    • Pass

    • Fail

    • Corrected

    You must map each assessment code to a system result value. Each assessment type must include a system result of Pass and a system result of Fail. The default value is Other.

    Note: You must assign Fail to only one code. Likewise, you must assign Pass to only one code.

    The system result is used in the inspection result processing. If scoring is used, the system result of Pass and Corrected receive the maximum score. The system results Other and Fail receive no score.

    The system result is also used to determine whether an inspection result is pass (system result Pass) or fail (system result Fail). For example, the Inspection Summary report includes violation information when a checklist or checklist item result is associated with the system result Fail.

  6. Click the Add icon at the end of the row to add another assessment code row.

  7. Click Save.
