List
QuestionQuestion Header.
Question InstructionsInstruction text - where simply formatted (i.e. no tables or images).
Previous ValueShows existing value for inspection question where appropriate.

This is only applicable when an answer to a question is processed by SAP. As a result, questions of type 'No Action' do not show any previous value.

Below is an example of a case where the previous value is shown. This is an inspection question for a swing bridge asset and is of type Characteristic Update.

As seen above, the previous value is recorded as 125m. This is because this characteristic value currently exists on the asset in SAP and has been recorded as 125m. As seen below, when I check the characteristics for this asset in SAP, I see that the length is 125m.


If someone answers this question with a new value of 130m then this gets processed in SAP and updates the characteristic value on the asset. As a result, next time the question dialog is opened for the same question, the previous value shows as 130m instead.
ResponseShows the new value entered.

For some Question types and where configured, as of Support Pack 12, users may be able to answer the question from this list control. Entry will auto-complete on selection of a control or on movement to another cell for direct entry fields.
Red and Green flagRed flag shows questions with a compulsory response - required to complete the Inspection. Green flag shows completion of required question.
