The Failure Report No Format form

  1. Select which data field that should be used to identify which vessel the Incident report is created for. You can use the “Ship Code, or “Ship Alternative Code” or create a custom value.
  2. Select the number of digits of the Year to be used (YY or YYYY)
  3. Enter the minimum of numbers the Incident Report running number should display. If for example 4 digits are entered the first failure report number will be “0001”  
  4. If desirable a free text can also be included in the Incident Report number. This will make it easier to distinguish what the number refers to compared to other similar numbers (PO no, Voyage no etc.) For example: “INC”
  5. Select the elements desired to be a part of the “Incident Report” number in the list on the lefthand side and click the [→] arrow button to push it into the right-hand side list.  

Please note that a separator (“-“ dash, “/” slash or “.” period) is required between each element   for the number configuration to be accepted.

  1. You can move the selected elements up and down in the right-hand list. An example of how the number format will look like is shown below the boxes. If the example is displayed in red, you have not separated one or more of the elements with one of the available separators.   
  2. We recommend you, to use a configuration that is sortable.  For example: INC-BOU-2013-0001 ([Free text] – [Unit Code] – [Year] – [Running number]).
  3. Once the configuration is to your liking, click [Save].
