Working with Asset Condition Assessment Ratings

Civic Platform generally calculates asset ratings using a rating formula that your agency administrator created. This formula can take into account asset details, asset attributes, condition assessment details, and condition assessment attributes.

Your administrator can set a rating to run when a an inspector completes a condition assessment. Inspectors can also enter a rating manually. In both cases, the rating displays in the Ratings portlet for the condition assessment record.

You can enter ratings manually, independent of any system event. For example, if you are conducting a scheduled assessment of one asset but happen to notice an unexpected deterioration of another asset, you may want to enter a brief rating of the damaged asset in Civic Platform.

Civic Platform time‑stamps and saves each rating value for an asset, which provides users with a historical log of past ratings.

Viewing Condition Assessment Ratings

You can view an asset’s current rating and other rating details in the Ratings tab on the Asset Condition Assessment portlet. You can also see whether the current value is a pre‑calculated value or if the current value is a rating triggered by completion of a condition assessment. See Pre‑Calculating a Condition Assessment Rating for information about pre‑calculated ratings.

You can also view an asset’s condition assessment rating from the Ratings tab on the Asset record. For information about viewing an asset record, see Viewing Assets.
