Post-Edit Validation (Mechanical Integrity)

  • Confirm updates are visible in the unit list after save.
  • If hierarchy fields changed, verify the unit appears correctly in filters and MI modules.
  • If Active/Inactive changed, confirm expected behavior in dashboards and asset visibility.
  • Recheck CML minimum interval/corrosion-rate values if inspection rules depend on them.

For controlled environments, record major unit changes in comments/revision fields to maintain MI audit traceability.
