About Site Filtering in Inspection Management

The Work Pack family employs the GE Digital APM Site Control; however, Work Packs are not linked to specific assets or Functional Locations. When a Work Pack record is initially created, it is assigned the default site of the user who created the record. The site of the root level Work Pack can only be modified prior to saving the record.

If a multi-site user who has access to every site in a root-level Work Pack record links child records from multiple sites to that Work Pack record, another user who does not have access to every sites may only see a potion of the data associated with that record.

Tip: Although having site-specific tasks is allowed by GE Digital APM, Inspection Management Best Practices recommends that Work Packs and their associated tasks be limited to a single location.

Example: Work Pack Records Closed

Consider an organization that has three sites, Site X, Site Y, and Site Z. Work Pack A, a global record, contains the following tasks:

Scenario 1: User assigned to only Site X.

When this user views Work Pack A, he or she will see the following:

Scenario 2: User assigned to both Site Y and Site X.

When this user views Work Pack A, he or she will see the following:

Scenario 3: Super User

When this user views Work Pack A, he or she will see the following:

IMPORTANT: Although all tasks are contained within the global record Work Pack A, the user will only see the tasks associated with the current site to which they are assigned.
