network source

A network source is a feature table whose features compose one of a utility network'sA utility network is a feature service that represents a utility system, such as water, gas, or electricity. A utility network provides the capabilities to visualize, edit, and analyze utility assets and data.Learn more datasets. The features are used to build the network index. A utility network has multiple network sources containing related information. Some network sources contain devicesA device is nearly any kind of computer, including desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.Learn more appropriate for each domain networkA domain network is the primary classification of a utility network, representing the utility system type, such as electricity, gas, or water.Learn more. For example, a network source for an electric utility network might be a feature table named "Electric Distribution Device" representing electric devices like switches and transformers. All utility networks have network sources representing physical structures such as an "Electric Support Pole" or "Electric Substation Boundary". Each network source has asset groupsAn asset group is the main classification of a utility element. Each asset group is then divided into a collection of asset types.Learn more and typesAn asset type is a class that refines a utility element's classification within an asset group. For example, a power transformer is an asset type of the transformer asset group within an electric device network.Learn more.
