Joining Selected Incidents with Network Objects
There are several tools available to join selected Incidents with other network objects:
- Join selected incidents with pipes - used to automatically associate incidents with pipes by matching the PLR / asset ID field of the incident to the Asset ID field of a pipe (applicable to Collection Networks only)
- Join selected incidents with assets - used to automatically associate incidents with the nearest asset within a user defined search radius of the incident
- Join selected incidents with properties - used to automatically associate incidents with the nearest property within a user defined search radius of the incident
This tool is applicable to Collection Networks only.
The Join Selected Incidents with Pipes tool can be used to automatically associate incidents with pipes by matching the PLR / asset ID field of the incident to the Asset ID field of a pipe.
To join incidents with pipes:
- Select the incidents to be associated with pipes
- Choose Join/Connect | Join selected incidents with pipes from the Selection menu
- A log is displayed in the General Text File View containing details of the number of successful associations of incidents to pipes, number of failures and the cause of the failure.
Selected incident will not be associated with a pipe if:
- The incident is already associated with a pipe
- The incident has no PLR / asset ID information
- The PLR / asset ID of the incident does not match a pipe Asset ID
- The PLR / asset ID of the incident matches with the Asset ID of more than one pipe
This tool is applicable to Collection and Distribution Networks
The Join Selected Incidents with Assets tool can be used to automatically associate incidents with the nearest asset within a user defined search radius of the incident.
To join incidents with assets:
- Select the incidents to be associated with assets
- Choose Join/Connect | Join selected incidents with assets from the Selection menu. The Join Incidents to Assets Dialog is displayed.
- From the Join Incidents to Assets Dialog
- Enter a Max distance to asset. Only assets within the search radius distance of the incident will be considered for joining with the incident.
- Check the Only join to selected assets box, to restrict the assets to which incidents may be joined, to the current selection.
- A summary is displayed containing details of the number of successful associations of incidents to assets, number of incidents already associated to assets, number of failures and reason for failures.
Selected incidents will not be associated with an asset if:
- The incident is already associated with an asset
- The nearest (selected) asset is outside of the defined Max distance to asset
This tool is applicable to Collection and Distribution Networks
The Join Selected Incidents with Properties tool can be used to automatically associate incidents with the nearest property within a user defined search radius of the incident.
To join incidents with properties:
- Select the incidents to be associated with properties
- Choose Join/Connect | Join selected incidents with properties from the Selection menu. The Join Incidents to Properties Dialog is displayed.
- From the Join Incidents to Properties Dialog
- Enter a Max distance to property. Only properties within the search radius distance of the incident will be considered for joining with the incident.
- Check the Only join to selected properties box, to restrict the properties to which incidents may be joined, to the current selection.
- A summary is displayed containing details of the number of successful associations of incidents to properties, number of incidents already associated to properties, number of failures and reason for failures.
Selected incidents will not be associated with a property if:
- The incident is already associated with a property
- The nearest (selected) property is outside of the defined Max distance to property
