Data and maps

Data

To implement the Leak Survey Collector solution at your utility, the leak survey schema needs to be projected to match the coordinate system of your utility.

To project the sample feature datasets, complete the following steps:

  1. In ArcCatalog, navigate to the Maps and GDBs folder.
  2. Rename the LeakSurvey geodatabase from LeakSurvey.gdb to SampleLeakSurvey.gdb.
  3. In the Maps and GDB folder, create a new file geodatabase named LeakSurvey. This will ensure the data paths in the map documents and configuration files will point to your projected datasets.
  4. In ArcCatalog, navigate to ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Projects and Transformations.
  5. Open the Batch Project tool.
  6. Select the contents of the SampleLeakSurvey.gdb as the input feature datasets; output workspace to the new LeakSurvey.gdb, and the coordinate system of your utility data as the output coordinate system.
  7. When complete, the feature classes projected in your coordinate system will be in the LeakSurvey.gdb.
  8. The relationships and attachments may have been removed as part of this process; you will need to recreate them.
  9. Load your data into these layers.

Map document properties

When implementing the Leak Survey Collector at your utility, the LeakSurveyCollector.mxd map document properties will need to be updated for your service area extent.

To update the map document, complete the following steps:

  1. In Window Explorer, browse to your download's Maps and GDBs folder.
  2. Open each map documents.
  3. Fix any broken data sources.
  4. Pan and zoom the map to your service area.
  5. Open the properties of the layers data frame, select the Data Frame tab and change the Extent of data in all layers.
  6. Update the Map Document Properties.
