All three use cases you identified above can be accomplished by using Functions to calculate summaries of your traces (if you just need to see if there are N number of customers or significant assets) or you can use Filters on your outputs to return specific sets of features.</P> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 14:18:51 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/adding-custom-messages-notifications-for-trace/idc-p/1401442#M246 RobertKrisher 2024-03-27T14:18:51Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/adding-custom-messages-notifications-for-trace/idc-p/1508715#M272 Tue, 23 Jul 2024 16:53:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/adding-custom-messages-notifications-for-trace/idc-p/1508715#M272 JonDeRose 2024-07-23T16:53:22Z
