Utility network properties

In this topic

  1. Access utility network properties
  2. Network Properties tab
  3. Network Diagrams tab

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

Properties of the utility network can be accessed from both the Contents and Catalog panes in ArcGIS Pro. When accessed from the Contents pane, the Layer Properties dialog box displays information about layer specific properties as well as dataset properties. Access from the Catalog pane displays the Utility Network Properties dialog box and displays only the dataset properties for the utility network.

Access utility network properties

The Layer Properties and Utility Network Properties dialog boxes provide access to the same dataset properties for the utility network; however, when Layer Properties is accessed from the Contents pane, additional tabs such as General, Metadata, and Source provide access to layer properties common to all map layers.

The Layer Properties dialog box is accessed from the utility network layer's context menu in the Contents pane.

  1. Ensure the utility network is added to an active map. If the utility network layer is not present in a map, from the Catalog pane, right-click the utility network dataset Utility network dataset and select Add to new map or Add to current map.

    The utility network and related network classes are added to a new or existing map view.

  2. In the Contents pane, right-click the utility network layer and select Properties.

    The Layer Properties dialog box appears.

  3. The following tabs are available on the Layer Properties dialog box:

    • General
    • Metadata
    • Source
    • Network Properties
    • Network Diagrams

    You can expand the dialog box by double-clicking the top menu bar.

The Utility Network Properties dialog box can be accessed from the utility network dataset's contextual menu in the Catalog pane from the database connection or a file geodatabase.

  1. With ArcGIS Pro open, navigate to the Catalog pane and open the geodatabase and feature dataset containing the utility network.
  2. In the Catalog pane, right-click the utility network dataset and select Properties.

    The Utility Network Properties dialog box appears.

    3. The following tabs are available on the Layer Properties dialog box.

    • Network Properties
    • Network Diagrams

Network Properties tab

The Network Properties tab provides information about the creation date, network topology, domain networks, rules, diagram templates, and other important metadata regarding the current configuration of the utility network.

Network Properties tab

The following sections are included on the Network Properties tab for the utility network:

  • General
  • Network Topology
  • Structure Network

General

The General section includes information about the creation and last modified times and version information for the utility network:

  • Upgraded (see note below)

Note:

When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the Portal Utility Network Owner and Upgraded properties are only available on the Network Properties tab when accessed from a database connection as the database utility network owner. The portal utility network owner is helpful when performing configuration and publishing tasks.

Network Topology

The Network Topology section includes information about whether the network topology is enabled, the dirty area count, and error counts. In addition, specific operations are recorded as they are completed against the utility network:

  • Is Enabled
  • Point Features with Errors (*Point Error Count)
  • Line Features with Errors (*Line Error Count)
  • Polygon Features with Errors (*Polygon Error Count)
  • Dirty Area Count
  • Initial Enable Topology Time and Duration
  • Enable Topology Time and Duration

Rules

The Rules section lists the existing network rule base for the utility network. This section is divided by network rule type as shown below. Within each rule type is a Sort By filter for easier viewing.

  • Junction-Junction Connectivity
  • Junction-Edge Connectivity
  • Edge-Junction-Edge Connectivity
  • Containment
  • Structural Attachment

Within each rule type, the table contains all the properties for that rule. See View network rules for more details.

Attributes and Assignments

The Attributes and Assignments section includes the network attributes and assignments for the utility network. As network attributes are created in the utility network, they are listed in the Attributes table.

  • Name
  • Field Type
  • Nullable
  • Inline (Bit Size)
  • Domain Name
  • Apportionable
  • Network Attribute to Substitute
  • Created Time

When they are assigned to a particular feature class and field, they populate the Assignments table.

  • Attribute Name
  • Class Name
  • Field Name

Terminal Configurations

The Terminal Configurations section includes a table which displays the existing terminal configurations in the utility network and includes information about the following properties of each terminal configuration.

  • Name
  • Directionality Model
  • Terminals (ID/Name/Upstream Terminal)
  • Valid Paths
  • Created Time

For information about which asset types are assigned a specific terminal configuration, review the device feature class or junction object table properties in the specific domain network (terminal configuration name).

Categories

The Categories section includes the names of existing network categories in the utility network. For information about which asset types are assigned a specific network category, review the Category column for the specific feature class or table in the Structure Network and <Domain name> Network sections.

  • Name
  • Created Time

Trace Configurations

The Trace Configurations section includes the name, description, creator, created time, and tags for trace configurations created in the utility network. To learn more, see Trace configurations.
