Edit a condition assessment attributes

A condition assessment attribute is a characteristic of a condition assessment, in addition to the information displayed in the main record. Associate condition assessment attributes with the condition assessment type to provide additional detail and information.

Example: A hydrant condition assessment has attributes such as test coefficient, flow coefficient, flow hydrant, flow hydrant location.

Edit a condition assessment attribute

After you create a condition assessment attribute, you cannot change it. However, you can change the display order of a condition assessment attribute or enable display flags.

Note: The only way to change the name of a condition assessment attribute is to remove the attribute type and create a new one.

When you reactivate the condition assessment attribute, all of its attributes return too. This is because the condition assessment type is the parent record, and when it is inactive the relationships are also inactive. You define the attributes separately from the condition assessment type and then you associate them later.
