Network Attributes properties

Summary

The following properties are supported by the networkAttributes object in a utility network.

Properties

Property	Explanation	Data Type
assignments (Read Only)	The assignments object. This object can be used to retrieve properties of the network attribute assignments.	Object
bitPosition (Read Only)	The bit position value of the network attribute.	Integer
bitSize (Read Only)	The bit size value of the network attribute.	Integer
creationTime (Read Only)	The creation date and time for the network attribute.	DateTime
dataType (Read Only)	The data type of the network attribute—for example, integer or double.	String
edgeWeightID (Read Only)	The edge weight ID value of the network attribute.	Integer
fieldType (Read Only)	The data type of the of the network attribute field—for example, short or long integer, double, or date.	String
isApportionable (Read Only)	A Boolean value describing whether the network attribute is apportionable. True—The network attribute is apportionable. False—The network attribute is not apportionable.	Boolean
ID (Read Only)	The ID of the network attribute.	Integer
isEmbedded (Read Only)	A Boolean value describing whether the network attribute is embedded. True—The network attribute is embedded. False—The network attribute is not embedded.	Boolean
isNullable (Read Only)	A Boolean value describing whether the network attribute is nullable (allows null values). True—The network attribute is nullable. False—The network attribute does not allow null values.	Boolean
isOverridable (Read Only)	A Boolean value describing whether the network attribute can be overridden. True—The network attribute can be overridden. False—The network attribute cannot be overridden.	Boolean
isSubstitution (Read Only)	A Boolean value describing whether the network attribute is for substitution. True—The network attribute is for substitution. False—The network attribute is not for substitution.	Boolean
junctionWeightID (Read Only)	The junction weight ID value of the network attribute.	Integer
name (Read Only)	The name of the network attribute.	String
networkAttributeToSubstitute (Read Only)	The value used for attribute substitution. Learn more about advanced network attributes and attribute substitution.	String
usageType (Read Only)	The usage type of the network attribute—for example, terminal ID, source ID, and asset group.	String
