## Logging Asset Faults

When equipment breaks down or has issues, Pipeline's fault logging system helps you track and manage the problem through to resolution.

### Viewing Faults

> **Screenshot:** The fault report modal showing the read-only asset info (UID, Name, Manufacturer), the Report Type radio buttons (Return to Store / Drop for Repair), the Synopsis text area, and the Submit button.

The fault registry for each asset shows a grid with:

* **Date** - When the fault was reported
* **Ref** - Unique fault reference number
* **Status** - Open (red badge) or Closed
* **Fault Description** - Summary of the issue
* **User** - Email of the person who reported the fault

### Reporting a New Fault

1. Navigate to the asset detail page
2. Open the fault section
3. Click **Report Fault**
4. The modal shows read-only asset information: UID, Name, Manufacturer, Type, Serial Number
5. Select the **Report Type**:
   * **Return to Store (Faulty)** - The asset is being returned to warehouse storage. Select the warehouse location.
   * **Drop for Repair** - The asset is going to an external repair shop. Select the repair shop supplier and optionally enter the shop address.
6. Enter a **Synopsis** describing the fault in detail
7. Submit the fault report

### Fault Status

* **Open** - Fault has been reported and is being addressed (shown with a red badge)
* **Closed** - Fault has been resolved

### Tracking Faults

The asset detail page shows:

* **Open Fault Count** - Number of currently open faults
* **Open Fault Ref** - Reference of the current open fault
* **Asset Status** - Updates to reflect the fault state (e.g., "In Repair")

This provides quick visibility of which assets have active problems.
