A utility network container allows a dense collection of features to be represented by a single feature, which can be used to reduce map clutter.
Use case
Offering a container view for features aids in the review for valid structural attachment and containment relationships and helps determine if a dataset has an association role set. Container views often model a cluster of electrical devices on a pole top or inside a cabinet or vault.
How to use the sample
Select a container feature to show all features inside the container. The container is shown as a polygon graphic with the content features contained within. The viewpoint and scale of the map are also changed to the container's extent. Connectivity and attachment associations inside the container are shown as red and blue dotted lines respectively.
How it works
- Load a web map that includes ArcGIS Pro Subtype Group Layers with only container features visible (i.e. fuse bank, switch bank, transformer bank, hand hole and junction box).
- Create and load a UtilityNetwork with the same feature service URL as the layers in the Map.
- Add a
GraphicsOverlayfor displaying a container view. - Create a connection to
MapQuickView::mouseClicked. - Identify a feature with
MapView::identifyLayersAsyncand create aUtilityElementfrom it. - Get the associations for this element using
UtilityNetwork::associationsAsync(UtilityElement *element, UtilityAssociationType::Containment). - Turn-off the visibility of all
OperationalLayers. - Get the features for the
UtilityElement(s) from the associations usingUtilityNetwork::featuresForElementsAsync(const QList<UtilityElement *> &elements) - Add a
Graphicwith the geometry and symbol of each feature to theGraphicsOverlay. - Get associations for the extent of the
GraphicsOverlayusingUtilityNetwork::associationsAsync(const Envelope &extent) - Add a
Graphicto represent the association geometry between container features using a symbol that distinguishes betweenAttachmentandConnectivityassociation type. - Add another
Graphicthat represents this extent and zoom to this extent with some buffer.

About the data
The Naperville electric network feature service, hosted on ArcGIS Online (authentication required: this is handled within the sample code), contains a utility network used to find associations shown in this sample and a web map portal item, Naperville electric containers, that use the same feature service endpoint and displays only container features.
Additional information
Using utility network on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 requires an ArcGIS Enterprise member account licensed with the Utility Network user type extension. Please refer to the utility network services documentation.
