Providing a product tailored to streamline grid editing and planning (Volue Grid Planner) we have a need for identifying split operation when a user splits a cable or an overhead line.
Grid Planner is provided SaaS and uses the ArcGIS Javascript SDK.
The justification behind this need is as follows:
- Following the planning of grid edits, the DSO needs a budgetary input / extract based on edits performed in the plan. How much cable, how many poles, ...
- Any new cable created in the plan (version) must be purchased.
- Yet, when splitting an existing cable one part retains its original ObjectID whereas the other part (the shorter line segment) is a 'new' feature getting a new ObjectID.
- With no way of catching the split, we cannot identify this new feature as 'not new but rather the result of a split).
- And hence the budgetary delivers a faulty output, since noone has to purchase a cable already there but just split in two
What would we like Esri to provide to allow better business support?
- When executing a split operation through the ArcGIS Javascript SDK we need some way to identify the 'new' feature (the part after the split getting a new ObjectID) as the result of this split.
- The Split Method (Feature) provided in the ArcGIS Pro SDK returns 'The ObjectIDs of newly created features from the split operation.'.
Split Method (Feature)—ArcGIS Pro
This seems like exactly what is needed, as this would allow us to identify the 'new' feature as 'not new but rather the result of a split'.
I will be available for further discussions if needed
