View a Linked Maintenance or Inspection Record

You can link new maintenance records to an inspection record using a Field Computer or mobile device. Conversely, with the sameField Computer or mobile device you can link inspection records to an existing maintenance record. When a survey file imported from aField Computer or mobile device contains both an inspection record and maintenance record for the same site, those records are considered related, and PCS will automatically link the inspection and maintenance records. If open maintenance records were sent to the field computer or mobile device, the new inspection record created for the same site will be linked to the maintenance record. The old inspection record previously associated with the open maintenance record will still be linked to the record.

A Linked Maintenance Count field is available in the Inspection grid to view which inspection records have linked maintenance records. When a record is selected in the Inspection or Maintenance grid, the linked records can be reviewed immediately in the Maintenance Links or Inspection Links mini-grid, respectively.
