Thank you for submitting your idea, we appreciate the feedback. Based on the use case you described I would recommend you have a look at the Defect capability we offer in Maximo Civil Infrastructure. In this solution we can track "crack" as a defect found along a linear position of a linear asset.
Here is the problem statement we addressed with this new feature in the latest release.
Currently, when performing inspections or maintenance on Linear Asset Features, users are only able to log point-based defects via Maximo Mobile. However, many defects—such as those found on rail lines, road surfaces, signage, or guard rails—extend over a length and are better represented as linear defects.
I am also attaching a document which provides more detail. (slide 20)
