Completing Assessments

Asset Assessments​

After selecting an asset (or batch of assets) from the Assets List, SICA opens the Questions page for the selected element type.

Asset assessment

The page heading identifies the assessment type and element type. The selected asset is shown in an expandable asset panel. Use Question Feedback to provide feedback about the questions, or Copy answers from asset to reuse answers from another asset.

Questions are grouped into expandable sections such as Condition, Maintenance and Faulting, Compliance to Standards, Modification History, Environment, and Trend. Each question row includes a reference, question, Answer dropdown, Score dropdown, and actions for Comments and Files and images.

Each answer is given a score, with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst.

note

If the answer is between two options, the score field can be manually changed with 0.5 increments.

Attachments​

Images, additional attachments, and comments can be added throughout an assessment.

To add an attachment for a question, select Files and images, then choose the upload option. Select the file and save it when prompted.

Upload files and images

When an attachment has been successfully uploaded, the attachment icon will display green.

To add a further attachment (or remove an existing attachment), select the icon again.

Comments can be added by selecting Comments for the relevant question.

Add comments

To add or edit a comment, select Comments again.

note

Any attachments added at this stage are required to be asset or batch level evidence, relating to the selected question only.

Assessment Sections​

If an assessment has already been completed for this element type, select an asset from Copy answers from asset. The copied answers can be changed before submission.
