What place do attribute rules have in Utility network conversion

[BrandoCrozier]

We are in the early stages of our conversion from a geometric network to Utility Network. We are trying to learn about all the rules that can have an impact on this conversion. My basic understanding is that network rules handle the connectivity. Is there a place for Attribute Rules in assisting with the conversion or will they only have their place when we have migrated?

@BrandoCrozier - In my experience, the attribute rules exist to assist with streamlining the editing experience (so post migration) and they are set up for different triggers eg update, inserts, etc. It will be hard to control these triggers during the migration. You could technically use them build associations, assign terminals, etc.

There exist much simpler tools to create connectivity. Just to name a few - Import associations tool or the Modify Terminal Associations tool 

There is a plethora of migration tools available that will be more effective than having to set up attribute rules.
