233. Does the CMMS handle the inventorying of 'linear assets' such as roads, pipeline, etc., as well as accurate recording and referencing on work orders of linear assets inspected and/or repaired (e.g., inventorying assets and recording work done on either side of a highway running through two counties in the middle of mile 82, or a 2-lane highway that splits into 4, or street furniture sitting beside the roadway, or pipe lying below the roadway)?
Comprehensive (i.e., being able to handle situations above; GIS reference capability; fields for linear reference details such as asset length, asset length unit of measure, linear reference unit of measure, linear reference precision/granularity such as 0.999, and geographical reference description; can record work done on a work order referring to 'from' and 'to' points, 'from' and 'to' reference descriptions, 'from' and 'to' geographical references)
Some linear asset capability as described above
Limited (i.e., have GIS reference capability, and can use descriptive fields and other workarounds)
No

3rd party
No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
237. Can you can assign a work order to a “position” (eg, a lot # or address), when there is no asset defined (eg, installing a new water meter, doing a dig in a lot that is not adjacent to the pipeline), including tracking work order history for a given position?
Yes

3rd party
No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
238. Does the CMMS track anomalies (ie, defects, features) on a linear segment (eg, rust on a pipe, crack in a roadway, corrosion on a bridge)?
Comprehensive (ie, record condition information of each anomolie such as category, depth, width, length, and location; set thresholds for anomolies such as size; raise work order using appropriate job plan resulting from exceeding the threshhold; assign problem/cause/action codes for a given anomolie on the work order)

Through 3rd party integration
No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
239. Can you track the condition and other measures, for current and all previous inspections (ie, as opposed to just the latest snapshot), including:
a. Asset level tracking (eg, overall deterioration of a park pathway)? Yes Some Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
b. Anomaly level tracking (eg, size of a crack in a pipe that is getting bigger over time? Yes Some Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No

240. Can you draw a polygon on a map through an interface with GIS, and establish a route based on assets, type of work, PM past due, critical %, or other factors within the polygon?
Yes

3rd party
No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
241. Can you score for each asset class (e.g., roads, buildings, pipes), condition rating methods used by different industries including
a. 'Percentage of New' method (i.e., perception of inspector as to percent of new for specific user-defined criteria)? Yes Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
b. 'General Weighting' method (i.e., providing defect type, weight and ranking from 1-5)? Yes Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
c. 'Deficiency scoring' (i.e., establish defect type such as crack, and score each defect within the defect type such as for each crack)? Yes Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
d. Automatic updating of scores when repairs are done? Yes Configurable Yes, through 3rd party integration No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
242. Does the system distinguish between renewal costs as opposed to maintenance costs (e.g., put a sleeve over a crack on a pipe, versus removal of debris)?
Yes

No
Rank the importance of this attribute:
243. Do you have features and functions for inspection and risk assessment including
a. Multiple inspections at multiple points on an asset/infrastructure? Yes Yes, through 3rd party integration No
