Hold Until After (Minimum Time Between Inspections)

Some regulations require a minimum number of days between monitoring events. If you have this requirement, you need those components held out of the schedule for a set number of days after their last inspection. In Chateau, this is controlled by a rule setting called Hold Until After, also referred to as the minimum time between inspections.

How It Works

When a rule has a minimum time between inspections configured, Chateau will not allow the components to be placed into a tour from the Schedule until the date in the Hold Until After column has passed.

For example: if a rule requires at least 30 days between quarterly M21 inspections, and a component was inspected on June 18, it will still show in your schedule grid, however, the Hold Until After column will show July 18.

If you try to place the components in a tour from the schedule prior to that date, they will not be placed in that tour. If you place the components in a tour from outside the schedule and monitor them, this will not satisfy the schedule.

This prevents inspections from being performed too close together to be meaningful for compliance purposes.

What You'll See

When a component or group of components is being held, it will appear in the schedule. The Hold Until After column will show the date after which the component can be monitored again. This is expected behavior.

Once the component or group of components are available to be monitored, the date will disappear.

Notes

• The Hold Until After setting is configured at the rule level by your LDARtools implementation team. You cannot change this value from within Chateau.
• This setting applies per inspection type and frequency. For example, a component could be held for monthly M21 inspections while still appearing in the schedule for weekly AVO inspections.
• This setting is not visible on the rule record itself. If you need to know the exact hold duration for a rule, contact LDARtools support.
