Object Relationships

This functionality only applies to InfoAsset Manager networks.

One of the key strengths of the InfoAsset Manager data model is the fact that object relationships are explicitly defined from within InfoAsset Manager in the data fields. For example when defining a CCTV Survey the start and end manhole of the associated pipe must be specified. Similarly the definition of a pipe repair contains the ID of the CCTV survey that has been used to identify the requirement for the repair.

These relationships can be used to manage and report on the data, for example using SQL queries. See InfoAsset Manager help for further details.

While the Collection and Distribution networks have many built-in relationships between object types, the ability to add user defined object types to networks of all types means that not all relationships can be provided automatically. The user defined relationships functionality allows connections between different object types to be made, managed and used for reporting purposes.
