Create an Issue

To create an issue:

  1. In the Issues screen, tap the Create icon.
  2. In the Report Issue screen, use the Smart Input Assistant (SIA) to describe the issue.
    You can choose any of the following options:
    • Type the issue details such as equipment, functional location, and severity directly into the AI text box.
    • Capture an Image using the Camera icon — the system analyzes the image and suggests issue details.
    • Use Voice Input by tapping the Mic icon and speaking your description — SIA transcribes and interprets the input.
    These flexible options help you report issues quickly and accurately, even in high-pressure field conditions.

    Note:
    • Switch Is it a Breakdown Issue? toggle on top if it is an emergency issue.
  3. Tap the Enter icon next to the text box.
    AI analyzes the provided details, retrieves past asset information, and suggests relevant details based on historical data as follows:

    To change Priority:
    1. Tap on Priority.
    2. In the Priority Determination (risk assessment) screen, select the probability of occurrence of the scenario under each category.
      1. People: Helps you analyze the impact of the incident on people.
      2. Assets: Helps you analyze the impact of the incident on the asset.
      3. Likelihood: Probable occurrence of the scenario.

      Note:
      Tap the References link below the Priority to view the information the AI used to determine the priority.
      The SIA automatically calculates the Overall Priority (Low, Medium, or High) based on the risk level identified for the above categories.

    If there are existing issues associated with the same equipment, a pop-up appears with the following options:
    • View Issues: Select this to see existing issues.
    • Create Anyway: Select this to create a new issue.
    • Cancel: Select this to stop creating an issue.
    Note:

    This helps avoid duplicate reports. Earlier, the same issue was often logged more than once—like two technicians spotting the same oil leak at different times and both creating separate issues for it. This caused confusion for planners, added extra work, and sometimes led to the same problem being fixed twice.

    The issue summary is displayed after selecting the Create Anyway option. In this screen, you can:
    • Tap Edit on the top-right corner to edit the issue details.
    • Tap Show Equipment History to view the equipment history details.
    • Tap Attachments to add attachments.
  6. Tap Report to create or report the issue.
    A message, Issue <issue title> has been reported successfully, is displayed.
