Field counts – at least 215 fields
Record counts: Devices – 994,354
Lines – 1,113,309
Structure Network – 565,421
Remember: Fewer tables, relates, and joins
Versioning directly in the tables
Utility Network - Likes
The ease of inter-relating multiple voltage levels –Tiers
Structures are network aware
Combination of geo-coincident and associated connectivity
Not having to rebuild network for schema changes
Utility Network - Concerns
Creating features is tedious
Lack of visual connectivity for associations
Tracing is very click intensive
Answering the concerns
Focus on the user
• All-in-one toolbar
Increase productivity
• 'One-click Trace' tools
• 'Association Tools' that allow visualizing and managing
associations
Associations: 3-phase Xfmr
