Using the Map Workbench

Use the Map Workbench to view linear and discrete assets and associated work orders on a map.

Attention: Discrete assets must have geocoded information or an associated ESRI Point Feature Class defined to be displayed on the Map Workbench.

Linear asset segments must have an association to a Spatial Route or ESRI polyline Feature Class to be displayed on the Map Workbench

You can perform the following using the Map Workbench:

Note: Dynamic segmentation is the process of clipping the asset geometry for the given measure values without disturbing the underlying asset geometry. Refer to Oracle Spatial and ESRI materials for more information on dynamic segmentation.

  1. Navigate to the Map Workbench page (Maintenance Super User > Home > Assets > Map Workbench).

    The Map Workbench can also be accessed using the Map All action from the Asset Search and Work Order Search. In addition, you can navigate to the Map Workbench by clicking the Show on Map link in asset and work order details.

    The Map Workbench page appears and displays the following to enable you to search for discrete or linear assets, linear asset attributes, work orders on maps and perform dynamic segmentation for measured linear assets. Work orders and work requests can be initiated on the selected assets and asset segments.

  2. Click the Asset Search subtab to search for discrete or linear assets on a map.

    You can perform an asset search using one of these options:

  3. Click the Linear Attributes Search subtab to search for assets attributes:

  4. Click the Work Order Search subtab to enter selection criteria such as:

    Click the Search button.

  5. Click the Draw Polygon button to draw a polygon to restrict the search on the map to the drawn polygon area only.

  6. Enter a Radius and Click point to draw circle area covering the radius distance. Search on the map would be restricted only to the radius distance.

  7. Click the Located Assets subtab to view linear asset information such as:

    Note: The Zoom and Remove buttons are available for discrete and linear assets.

  8. Click the Create Work Order button to access the Create Work Order page. See Creating Work Orders for more information.

  9. Click the Create Multiple Work Orders button to create one work order for each selected asset number.

    For linear assets, if the segments are selected, then the work order will be created on the selected segments only. If no segments are selected from the search results, but only the asset is selected, then the work order will be created with all the segments of the linear asset.

    The Create Multiple Work Orders window appears in which work order default values can be applied to all the work orders to be created. The Number of Assets Selected is a read-only field that displays the number of assets selected for the work order creation process.

    1. Optionally select values for these fields:

      • Asset Activity

      • Department

      • Work Order Type

      • Priority

      • Status

      • Scheduled Start Date

      • Scheduled Completion Date

      Note: If no values are selected in the fields, then all the work orders will be created based on the standard default values for the work order.

    2. Click the Submit button.

    3. A confirmation message appears on the Map Workbench page that displays the request ID for the EAM Create Multiple Work Orders concurrent program that was successfully called. View the concurrent program log for the list of work orders that were created or failed.

  10. Click the Create Work Order on Dynamic Asset Route button. A pop-up window appears enabling the creation of work order route for each of the selected assets.

    1. The following information displays:

      • Number of Assets Selected

      • Assign to Asset Route: Select an asset route.

      • Work Order (required): Accept the auto-generated work order number if work order numbers are automatically generated, or a different work order number.

      • Description: Optionally enter text.

    2. Click the Proceed to Create Work Order button.

      The Update Work Order page appears with the work order created on the dynamic asset route available for edit. The work order is created with a status of Draft. However, the Route Details pop-up window appears where work order details such as the status can be modified.

  11. Click the Located Attributes subtab to view:

  12. Click the Located Work Orders subtab on the lower region of the page to view associated work order information such as:

  13. Click the Located Measures subtab to view:

    Click the Create Multiple Work Orders button to create a work order for each selected asset number.

    For linear assets, all segments from one asset are grouped into the linear details of one work order.

  14. Optionally enter a numerical value in the Radius (In Miles) field, and click the Locate Point button to locate assets located within a specific mile radius.

  15. Optionally enter the Zoom to Location (Address, City, State, Zip), and then click the Locate button.

  16. Optionally click the Clear Polygon button or the Clear Map button.

  17. Optionally right-click the map to select the Map Layers.
