Finding fields and values

The same form records and edits every finding. Its title says which: New observation for a point, Save measurement for a measurement, or Edit and the finding’s number.

Engineering assessment	No	The condition, the likely mechanism, the evidence and how certain you are. For a measurement, the figures are already here	4,000 characters	Yes
Severity	No — but required to sign off	How urgently the finding needs attention	One value	Yes
Status	Yes	Where the finding is in its life	One value	No
Category	Yes	The type of defect	One value	Yes
Tags	No	Words to search and group by, separated by commas	—	No

Shown in the form but not editable

Item	Meaning
The line under the title	The measurement and the coordinates of the finding
The viewpoint line	Whether the current view will be saved with a new finding. When editing: “Saved viewpoint kept. Editing does not re-record the camera.”
Record the section plane this was measured through	Shown when a section plane is on. Selected by default. Clear it to save the view without the cut
The draft notice	Saving creates a draft. It enters signed reports only after an engineer signs it off

Recorded automatically

These are written by AerTwin and cannot be typed in: the finding’s number, who created it and when, who signed it off and when, who made the second review and when, and — for an AI proposal — which detector proposed it and from which photograph.
