Using the Linear Asset Workbench

Use the Linear Asset Workbench to enter and view linear asset details for a specific linear asset. Use this workbench to associate the following:

You can access the Linear Asset Workbench using any of the following:

arrow icon   To add linear asset details using the Linear Asset Workbench:

  1. Navigate to the Asset Numbers page (Maintenance Super User > Home > Assets).

  2. Search for a linear asset by using one of these search methods:

  3. Click the Go button.

  4. Select the row for the linear asset.

  5. Choose the Linear Asset Workbench value from the View drop-down.

  6. Click the Go button, and the Linear Asset Workbench appears.

  7. Select a Linear Reference Method (required).

  8. Optionally select the Direction of the asset.

  9. Optionally indicate if the linear asset is Segmented and will contain a single segment or multiple segments. Values are Yes or No.

    If you select Yes, the Segments region becomes available to add multiple rows.

    A segment is a section of the linear asset identified by its start and end measure. A linear asset can have one or more segments within its length. Creating segments enables you the ability to analyze and work on specific sections of the linear asset. Example: Gathering and Transmission Pipeline Segments, Freeway Road Segments, Main and Feeder Segment Pipelines.

    You can enter an end date for the linear asset segment, and update the segment details with new measure values. This enables the same segment name to be retained in the system with updated measure values.

  10. Select Yes to enable the Add 3 Rows icon in the Segment Details region to add multiple segments. Add Segment Details such as:

    You can have more than one segment with the same segment name with a different segment description as long as the dates are not overlapping. This enables you to have version control of geometry changes based on time. Versioning the segments with the same name would keep the properties, elements and relationships intact as they continue to point to the same segment name.

    Attention: Based upon the map integration that you use, the segment row may also include additional columns such as ESRI Route ID, Spatial Route ID or Custom Spatial Route ID. This provides the ability to associate the geometry shape to the linear asset.

    See Linear Asset Maps Integration for more information.

    Select No to enter segment details for one row. Enter Segment Details such as:

    Note: The Measure UOM defaults to the UOM associated with the Linear Reference Method.

  11. Optionally click the following to add Properties and associated details:

  12. Optionally add Elements details. Elements can be Labelled or Non_labelled, Point or Line. You can add elements by clicking one of the following:

    If you click the Add 3 Rows icon, enter information such as:

  13. Click one of the following buttons to add Relationships to the linear asset:

  14. Click the Manage Relationships icon to access the Manage Relationships page.

    Use this region to edit relationship details such as Assets and Related Assets.

  15. Click the Save button to return to the Linear Assets Workbench.

  16. Click the Apply button.
