Create Fault Report

[About GIS Integration] [GIS Concepts] [GIS Customizations] [GIS Integration]

Explanation

This activity is used to create a fault report in GIS Map window by using a right-mouse option. A fault report can be created on a free space in the map or by right-mouse clicking on a GIS object. Fault reports can be created on equipment objects and linear asset objects.

Prerequisites

The following enables a fault report to be successfully created in GIS Map window:

• An editable layer representing the fault report should have been created in ArcGIS.
• The layer must have a field for storing the IFS ID.
• The name of the field IFS ID must correspond to the setting in GIS Settings window, as described here: Define GIS Settings.
• Proxy must have been updated with the map service URL, as described in Define GIS Settings and GIS Concepts.
• The layer must be added in IFS, as described here: Define Layer Mapping, Define Layer Groups and Define Users per Layer Group.
• Logical unit (LU) ActiveSeparate should have been defined with service name GisintConnections and VirtMapPosition in Object Connections window.
• The layer should have been defined with a LU named ActiveSeparate in GIS Layer Mapping window: Define Layer Mapping.

System Effects

The following is valid system effects:

• A fault report is created in IFS.
• A GIS object is created in ArcGIS and shown in GIS Map.
• A unique IFS ID value is added on the GIS object in ArcGIS.
• A connection line is created in GIS Connections window.

Procedure

1. Open the GIS Map window.
2. Right mouse click on a free space in the map.
3. Select the option Create Fault Report and enter information.
4. Finish Fault Report assistant and it creates a GIS object in the map and a fault report in IFS.

Or

4. Right mouse click on a GIS object and where a connection to a equipment object or a linear asset object already exist.
5. Select the option Create Fault Report and enter information.
6. Finish Fault Report assistant.
7. Notice how this creates a fault report on top of the selected GIS object. The object ID from the linear asset/equipment object is automatically inherited to the fault report.
