The total number of inspections, checks, and tests in the desalination mega-project’s commissioning surpasses 70000. Over 2,500 of them contain acceptance reports, such as pump alignment, instrument calibration, actuated valve calibration, valve switch checks, and many others. The report aggregates measurements obtained during the equipment tests. Below is a standard form for actuated valve calibration. The acceptance reports are a core of the manufacturing record book and a basis for a warranty claim.

The astronomical amount of generated data related to different disciplines and equipment types is served through a single standardized web interface that includes the following menu entries: device location, status, report, and notes. It is shown below.

When the device tag is clicked, the P&ID excerpt is retrieved. Notes are intended for the explanation of reasons why a test or check is not accepted or rejected.
When the Report button is pressed, the software attempts to retrieve it from the database. If not found, the report is auto-generated by the software based on the device's specifications. The user modifies the report entries to the values observed during a test.
When the user changes the check status to “completed”, the software notifies the relevant parties to approve the check/test results and starts waiting for the feedback.
The “completed” request is rejected if the check/test report is not submitted or its auto-validation fails.
The commissioning execution progress is defined as the sum of all check and test statuses. The same approach and rules of status propagation are used for calculating the project execution progress described in "Building Project GPS". The commissioning metrics are generated in real time and may be viewed online. It makes commissioning transparent.
