Work with utility network properties
You can access properties of the utility network from both the Contents and Catalog panes in ArcGIS Pro. When opened from the Contents pane, the Layer Properties dialog box displays information about layer-specific properties as well as dataset properties. Opening the Utility Network Properties dialog box from the Catalog pane displays only the dataset properties for the utility network.
Access utility network properties
The Layer Properties and Utility Network Properties dialog boxes provide the same dataset properties for the utility network. However, when you access Layer Properties from the Contents pane, additional tabs such as General, Metadata, and Source allow you to set layer properties common to all map layers.
Access properties from the Contents pane
To open the Layer Properties dialog box using the utility network layer's context menu in the Contents pane, complete the following steps
Ensure that 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
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.
In the Contents pane, right-click the utility network layer and select Properties.
The Layer Properties dialog box appears.
The following tabs are available on the Layer Properties dialog box:
General
Metadata
Source
Network Properties
Network Diagrams
Time
To expand the dialog box, double-click the top menu bar.
Access properties from the Catalog pane
To access the Utility Network Properties dialog box from the utility network dataset's contextual menu under Databases
in the Catalog pane, complete the following steps:
With ArcGIS Pro open, browse to the Catalog pane and open the geodatabase and feature dataset containing the utility network.
In the Catalog pane, right-click the utility network dataset and select Properties.
The Utility Network Properties dialog box appears.
The following tabs are available on the Utility Network 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.

The following sections are included on the Network Properties tab for the utility network:
General
The General section includes information about the creation and last modified times and version information for the utility network in the following sections:
Created Time

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.
