ACA Records

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the ACA family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Sites section of the documentation.

Note: Only members of the MI ACA Administrator Security Group can modify the layout of the ACA datasheet.

Analysis End Date	Date	The date on which the ACA will end.	None
Analysis ID	Character	The ID for the ACA.	This field is required, and the value must be unique.
Analysis Owner	Character	The name of the team member who is specified as the Process Owner for the ACA.	This field is disabled and populated automatically with the value in the Process Owner field.
Analysis Scope	Text	A description of the ACA that you want to conduct.	None
Analysis Start Date	Date	The date on which the ACA will begin.	None
Analysis Type	Character	N/A	By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet.
Facilitator	Character	The name of the team member who is specified as the Facilitator for the ACA.	By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet. This field is populated automatically with the name of the ACA team member specified as the Facilitator in the ACA Team Members section.
Imported By	Character	The user ID of the Security User who created or last updated the analysis from a Microsoft Excel file.	This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file.
Import Date	Date	The date on which the analysis was created or last updated from a Microsoft Excel file.	This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file.
Import Status	Character	The status of the import process that was last used to create or update the analysis.	This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file. Tip: For more information, refer to the Data Loaders section of the documentation. The value will be set to one of the following: Successful Incomplete Failed Skipped The status is also displayed in the grid on the ACA Import page.
Last Modified By	Character	The name of the user who last modified the record.	This field is disabled and populated automatically with the name of the user who was logged in when the record was last modified.
Last Modified Date	Date	The date on which the record was last modified.	This field is disabled and populated automatically.
Process Owner	Character	The name of the Process Owner for the ACA.	By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet. It is populated automatically with the name of the ACA team member specified as the Process Owner in the ACA Team Members section. When a user creates a new ACA record, this value defaults to the name of the user who created the record. After a team member has been assigned to the role of Process Owner, this field will be updated automatically with that team member's name.
Visual Attributes	Text	N/A	By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet.

Criticality Records

Criticality records store assessment data to allow future expanded criticality options and assessment features. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Criticality family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Assessment	Text	Stores a serialized JSON representation of criticality that has been assessed using the Risk Matrix or Criticality Matrix tool.	This is a system field.
Assessment Method	Text	Describes how criticality was assessed.	A system field that contains one of the following values: Checklist Matrix
Asset Key	Numeric	The Entity Key of the asset.	None
Basis for Assessment	Character	A brief summary of the rationale used to assess criticality.	This field is automatically populated with the value you enter in the Basis for Assessment field.
EAM Criticality	Character	The asset criticality value in SAP.	This field displays the asset criticality value in SAP.
Threshold Key	Numeric	The numeric key indicating the label and color associated with the threshold value.	A numeric key that determines the label and color associated with the Criticality record. It is also a foreign key to the Criticality Threshold family.
Value	Numeric	Stores the canonical criticality value for a given asset.	The value in this field is used as the basis for computing the Criticality Definition threshold.

Criticality Checklist Records

This family is a template for assessing criticality with the Criticality Checklist. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Criticality family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Basis for Assessment	Text	Provides details about the Criticality Assessment.	This field is automatically populated with the value you enter in the Basis for Assessment field.
Environment Consequence	Character	Assesses the environmental consequence of the Criticality Checklist item.	Populated automatically from the criticality value assessed from the environmental effects of an asset.
Operations Consequence	Character	Assesses the operations consequence of the Criticality Checklist item.	Populated automatically from the criticality value assessed from the operational effects of an asset.
PM Required	Boolean	Indicates whether or not preventive maintenance is required.	If the value in this field is true, then the asset requires preventive maintenance.
Safety Consequence	Character	Assesses the safety consequence of the Criticality Checklist item.	Populated automatically from the criticality value assessed from the safety effects of an asset.

Criticality Definition Records

Criticality Definition records store references to the criticality thresholds and assessment options. It also enables the user to modify assessment methods. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Criticality Definition family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Checklist Family	Character	The family ID of the Criticality Checklist family used for assessment.	If the Use Checklist check box is selected, then the family indicated in this field will be required.
Default	Boolean	Indicates whether or not this is the default Criticality Definition.	You can specify only one Criticality Definition record as the default. In the Standard Practice Criticality Definition record, the Default check box is cleared. In the Default Criticality Definition record, the Default check box is selected.
Name	Character	The name of the Criticality Definition.	This value is used to identify the record and must be unique. In the baseline Criticality Definition record, the Criticality Definition name is Default.
