Extensive Industry and Expert Design Input

An OGI inspection shows in the OGI inspection grid. With any uploaded inspection image and/or video. Upload a video or image using the Import tab or you can attach an image or video on on individual inspection using the Upload Image or Image Video button on the inspection row.

The Picture Audit feature can be used to review the inspection image and vídeo for every inspection and compare to the Target Image (if your components have them), and approve or reject the inspection image and quickly put the components back into a tour to be re-inspected.

A failed OGI Inspection would open a leak on the Leak grid which will track due dates for Repair Attempts and Retest. From this grid you can schedule leaks for Retest, close the leak, add repair attempts, or Plan a DOR.

Opening a leak record will display all repair attempts and OGI, M21 or AVO inspections that have been performed on the Leak. You can add any inspections manually here if needed, attach documents to the leak and add comments, as well as view leak images and videos.

From the Leak tab you can also configure your Leak Alerts which are automated email sent each morning about leaks to any email address using a selected series of component property values.
