Fault Codes

 

Accessed from Standing Data >> Work Orders >> Fault Codes

 

Fault Codes are used to provide a more detailed description of a fault. They are assigned to a fault group for organisational and reporting and analysis purposes.

 

A fault code can also be allocated a type e.g.  a ‘symptom’, an ‘effect’, a ‘cause’ or just a ‘general’ code. 

 

A dictionary list, which can be added to, is used for these types which will help to maintain consistency for reporting purposes.
