Concepts and operations

Various tools and operations are included with a utility network to help manage subnetworks.

• Set a subnetwork controller—Use the Modify Subnetwork Controller pane to create a subnetwork and write a new row to the Subnetworks table.

• Validate a network topology—Modified features are updated in the network topology and the subnetwork is marked as dirty.

• Update a subnetwork—To clean a dirty subnetwork, the Update Subnetwork tool is used to refresh subnetwork information on features.

• Modify a subnetwork—The Modify Subnetwork Controller pane allows you to change the name of a subnetwork or remove an existing subnetwork controller from the subnetwork.

• Identify isolated features—The Update Is Connected geoprocessing tool can be used to identify isolated network features and objects by maintaining information about their connectivity to subnetwork controllers.

• Find Subnetworks pane—The Find Subnetwork pane allows you to locate and interact with subnetworks in your utility network.

• Import subnetwork information—Information about which terminal on a network feature is a subnetwork controller can be imported into a utility network through a .csv file.

• Export subnetwork information—Information about subnetworks and subnetwork controllers can be exported from a utility network through a .json file.
