Configure Reporting tools

The Water Utility Network Tools and Attribute Assistant Add-ins are preconfigured to perform common tasks with data stored in the provided schema. The behavior of these tools can be modified to work with other datasets or to perform additional functions by modifying the configuration file shared by these Add-ins.



The following reporting tools can be modified within the configuration file:

The configuration file (loaded.<type>.config) can be accessed from the add-in's toolbar or by browsing to one of the following directories.

Operating System Directory
Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 and Server 2008, 2012 %AppData%\ArcGISSolutions\ConfigFiles
Windows XP, 2000 and Server 2003 C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\ArcGISSolutions\ConfigFiles

Valve Isolation Trace

This tool uses a series of flags and barriers to determine the valves required to isolate a main. This tool can be modified by changing the following keys:

Key Description
TraceIsolation_Source_FeatureLayer The layer or layers representing the water or gas source features. Multiple layers are separated by a vertical bar.
TraceIsolation_Valve_FeatureLayer The layer or layers representing valve features. Multiple layers are separated by a vertical bar.
TraceIsolation_Operable_Field_Valves The field within the valve layer describing the operable status. Inoperable valves are ignored by the trace.
TraceIsolation_Operable_Field_Sources The field within the source layer describing the operable status. Inoperable sources are ignored by the trace.
TraceIsolation_Operable_Valves The values used to define the operational status of valves in the format "non-operable value | operable value".
TraceIsolation_Valve_AddSQL SQL expression for additional filtering of operable devices. This expression is combined with the operable device query. Only devices that are operable and match this expression are considered operable. All others will be considered open, non operable devices and skipped.
For example, if you want to ignore valves of type ARV CCV, you can use the following expression: VALVETYPE NOT IN ('ARV', 'CCV').
TraceIsolation_ClearFlagsOnClick By default, any flags will be clear when this tool is run. To disable this feature, change the value to false.
TraceIsolation_Valve_ClosedValveQuery Specify a query to find and place barriers on all closed valves.
TraceIsolation_AddResultsAsLayers Option to return the results as a set of in memory layers.
Trace_Return_Selection Option to return the results as a selection or graphic.
Trace_ResultLayersIDField Field to store the ID for the trace.
Trace_ResultLayersDateTimeField Field to store the time the model ran in the results.
Trace_ResultLayersDateTimeZone The timezone used for date fields. Set this value to UTC if you plan on publishing to a hosted service; otherwise, set to Local.
Trace_ResultLayersRemoveMZ Option to remove M- and Z-values from the resulting in memory layers.
Trace_ResultAddAllLayers Option to add results of the trace to the map. Set to true to add all layers in the Geometric Network. Set to false to add only the layers that are present in the Table of Contents.
Trace_ResultBuffer The buffer to be applied to the trace area created when you add results as layers.
Trace_ResultTotalPrompt The number of trace results to require the user to agree to continue.
TraceIsolation_AreaTemplate The name of the layer in the Table of Contents that will be used as a template for the outage layer created when the trace results are added as results.
