Create Linear Asset Types

Explanation

This activity is used to create linear asset types. A linear asset type is used to classify linear assets to show what kind of linear asset it is, e.g., road, powerline, etc. An item class can be connected to a linear asset type. If the linear asset do not have an item class connected, the item class connected to the linear asset type of the linear asset is retrieved to a work order once that linear asset is connected to the work order.

To a linear asset type you can connect characteristics. This is done by connecting a technical class, which has characteristics connected to it, to the linear asset type. When applying the linear asset type to a linear asset ID, the technical class with its characteristics will automatically be applied to the linear asset ID's Attachments pane. Values for the characteristics can then be defined on the linear asset ID. Technical classes and Attributes are defined in Characteristics Basic Data.

By connecting a linear asset type to a position type you can define Positions for that linear asset type. A Position is used when defining Isolations and creating Isolation Orders to indicate if e.g., the linear asset (the whole or part of it) should be 'On' or 'Off' during establishment or reestablishment, or if it should be in a Reduced speed mode, etc.

Procedure

  1. Open the Linear Asset Basic Data window, click the Linear Asset Types tab.
  2. Enter a value in the Linear Asset Type field.
  3. Enter a description of the linear asset type in the Description field.
  4. Entering a value in the Technical Class field will set characteristics for the linear asset.
  5. Optionally, enter a value in the Item Class field. Use the List of Values to select a suitable value.
  6. Optionally, enter a value in the Position Type field. Use the List of Values to select a suitable value.
  7. Enter values in the Visualizer Style, Visualizer Width and Visualizer Color fields as required in order to organize the representation of the linear asset in the Visualizer.
  8. Check the box for Blocked for Use if the linear asset type should not appear in the List of Values when entering a linear asset type in the Linear Asset/General window
  9. Press Save.
