There are several ways for you to discover and access the defect items within your customer project.

Locate defects on the map​

Need to get an idea of where your defects are? See the big picture by enabling the relevant layer on the map:

  1. Select Layers in the right panel menu to open the Layer panel.

  2. Scroll or search to find the Defect Status system layer and switch it on. By default, all defects will appear on the map. Use the Map tools to navigate around and interact with the displayed items.

Load defects in the Data Explorer​

For a detailed look at your defects, create a query in the Data Explorer that targets a defect design/interface.

You can view the attribute data of defect items and sort/filter them according to their data values. It's possible to perform bulk actions on selected defects and export their data. By switching collections, you can also view archived defects that are usually hidden from active service. To learn more, see Data Explorer.

View a defect's details​

Whichever method you use, you can select a defect to view its details in the right panel.

By default, you'll see the defect's standard details, along with any custom attributes defined by the defect's design. You can view the defect's history of changes and any relationships it has with other items. To learn more, see Viewing items.
