In the Grid

Leaks are triggered by failed inspections. If you wish to add a leak manually, please do so by adding the inspection record that triggered this leak. Refer to the Inspections article for instructions on adding an inspection.

Term Description
Associated Leaks Set of leaks on the same component, but generated by different leak definitions according to different rules.

 

Example: if Tag 17 had a 1,100 PPM reading which created a leak for Rule A (at 500PPM) and Rule B (at 1,000PPM), then Chateau had TWO leaks, but recognizes they are sharing the same component and inspection event.

Any time you select one of the sets, the other members of the shared set are also selected. If you open one of the leaks, a tab for the other(s) will open as well.

Close When you are ready to close the leak, click this button, select the Leak CloseWhy.

 

Note the Are you sure? prompt. You cannot undo this! Your Chateau may or may not be configured to auto-close leaks with passing inspections.

Regulation This is generated by Chateau’s Rules Engine. You cannot edit it. If more than one regulation are affected, they will all be listed.
If you set a Component for ReTest This tells you how many days you have been waiting at the current Action state.
Trigger and Last PPM Are auto-filled by Chateau.
Work Order Assign a work order number to a leak by opening the leak and entering it. You can view and sort work order numbers in the grid.
Final Resolution Due When the Final Resolution is due on a leak based on the rule applied.
First Attempt Due When the First Attempt is due on this leak based on the rule applied.
First ReTest Due When the first ReTest is due on a leak based on the rule applied.
Next Action The Next Action required on a Leak; e.g., Report to Maintenance, Await Maintenance or ReTest.

 

To change the Next Action on any leak or DOR, select the item(s), then the Next Action button, and choose the desired setting.

Setting the Next Action does not automate any of the actions. For example, if you select ReTest as the Next Action, you will still need to add the component to a ReTest tour or queue it for ReTest. Instead, it starts counting days on Waiting Action so you can keep track of the response progress.

Request Maintenance Indicates the next task required for a leak is to Request Maintenance.
Secondary Leaks A leak found on an existing leak at a higher PPM after an Attempt and ReTest on an existing leak.
Trigger PPM The PPM which triggers the Leak for the applicable regulation.
  The point of the component on which the leak was detected; e.g., Bonnet, Stem or Cap.

The Leaks grid displays all emission points on record for this component. You can customize the options for emission points at Settings / Picklists / Category=Leaks; the picklist name is “EmissionPoint.”

If the wrong emission point were entered, you can edit it here.

 

Waiting Action

This tells you how many days you have been waiting at the current Action state.

Next Action Waiting Action Description
Report to Maint. 2 You have been waiting to report this leak to Maintenance for 2 days.
Await Maint. 8 You have been waiting to hear back from Maintenance for 8 days.
ReTest 1 You scheduled this for ReTest yesterday.
ReTest 0 You scheduled this for ReTest today.
