Hierarchy Level Overrides

Scheduling properties set up in Hierarchy Level Overrides apply at the ROW (pipeline) level. Some scheduling properties inherit settings from those previously set up in Time Between Survey Settings and ROW and Facility Settings. Inherited settings changed at the ROW level override and have precedent over those in the Time Between Survey Settings and ROW and Facility Settings.

To set up scheduling properties at the ROW level, follow these steps:

Click the Select ROWs button to open the Select ROWs window. Select one or more pipeline segments by clicking the check box for each pipeline segment (Select ROWs). Click Save to close the Select ROWs window.
Click Data Entry > Edit Schedule Settings > Hierarchy Level Overrides tab (Hierarchy Level Overrides).
