I know the utility network features classes are z-enabled, but does my data have to have z-values?  I work on a small university campus that owns and manages most of its utilities.  Probably like many small, old universities, it has not maintained very good records of where these utilities are located, workers can only tell me "the line runs somewhere through here."  I have been collecting data via sub-meter GPS whenever there is a utility locate request, and also by sitting down with plant service staff and digitizing what they know (or think they know🤔).  Between these and the drawings that we do have, I have been able to construct useable2D modals of our systems.  One piece of data I do not have, however, for most of the system, is elevation (or depth).  If I do not have this information, is it going to cause problems with using the Utility Network?  I recognize that I won't be able to do the cool 3D views that are shown, but will the Utility Network still work in general? ...

SEE THE UPDATE at the bottom of the post for additional information I just recently installed ArcGIS Pro 2.6.2. When I am editing vertices, I cannot select a vertex and then use a shift-click to add vertices to the selection so that I can move them simultaneously.  For example, I have a sidewalk polygon that needs to have a part of the sidewalk shifted to the side because it actually has a jog in it that wasn't in the original digitization. I want to select the parallel segments on both sides of the sidewalk so that I can move them simultaneously. In the past, I might select a pair of vertices on one side of the sidewalk, and then using a shift-click, add the pair of vertices on the other side to the selection of vertices, so that I can move them all simultaneously.  But now, that does not work, and there doesn't seem to be any way to add to the selection of vertices. I'm trying to find out if anyone else has seen this behavior where you can't add to the selection, or is it something unique to me and my computer? NOTE: This is a simple example just for the purposes of illustration--using one of the selection tools would readily work here,  but I may have more complex structures where I can't select everything in one go because the vertices needing moved are not contiguous. UPDATE:  The behavior I am seeing when I attempt to do a shift-click is that the feature will change to being just highlighted and the vertices disappear until I release the shift. The vertices reappear after release but there are no vertices showing as selected, including the ones that had originally been selected. I am seeing this behavior on two different machines. ...

I have just finished watching the Esri UC 2020 Utility Network Management: Advanced Capabilities session.  I currently have not set up a utility network, though I will be soon, so trying to understand it as much as possible.  I have two questions about Attribute Propagation. 1. One of the things mentioned in the session was that Attribute Propagation is configured when the network is being created.  Is there any way to configure it later?  I don't currently have the data that would be needed for attribute propagation, or even know what attributes my users would want propagated, but if, in the future I wanted to add attribute propagation, how would I do it? 2. The presenters indicated that there can be only one propagated attribute per utility network.  It want to make sure I understand this correctly, there can be only one propagated attribute per Utility Network, not utility domain?  So if I have a utility network that contains water, sewer, storm, electric, and fiber (yes, I work on a university campus that manages all of those utilities), I could only have only one propagated attribute for only one utility (e.g. pressure in the water system), and not one for each utility domain (e.g., another one for phases in electric)?

Is it just me? When I make manual edits (as opposed to copy/paste) in a text cell, if I have just opened the table and click on a cell (not double click) and type, everything works fine for that cell, but if I click the next cell (or hit enter to go to the next cell) and start typing, sometimes it puts in the first letter and then backspaces so the remainder of my typing comes before what should have been the first letter.  Other times, it works fine. Anyone else experience this, or know anything about this, or have any ideas? Cheryl ... View more

Looking at the Lifecyle_Status domain in the StormWater Utility Network model, I see the codes skip numbers: Lifecycle_Status -- Valid lifecycle states for the assets. Code    Value 0    Unknown 1    Proposed 2    Proposed - Approved 4    Under Construction 8    In Service 16    In Service - To Be Retired 32    Abandoned There is an expanded list in Lifecycle_Combined, but still a lot of numbers are missing: Lifecycle_Combined -- Bitwise combination of lifecycle states for subnetwork management Code     Value 0     Unknown 1     Proposed 2     Proposed - Approved 3     Proposed and Approved 4     Under Construction 6     Approved and Under Construction 7     Proposed, Approved and Under Construction 8     In Service 12     In Service and Under Construction 14     In Service, Under Construction, and Approved 15     In Service, Under Construction, Approved and Proposed 16     In Service - To Be Retired 32     Abandoned However, I presume that the intervening numbers are used somewhere else (perhaps in a different utility domain) and the attempt is to keep the same numbering across domains for ease of use.  In the future, our UN will have several different utility domains because many of the assets in our structural domain will be shared across utilities (we are a university campus that manages most of our own utilities).  That said, I need to add a code for "Removed" (it's not the same as "Abandoned") to let our utility locating people know, "That line you remembered from 5 years ago? It's no longer there, so you don't need to worry about marking it!").  Is there someplace where I can find out what the "missing" values are?  There may be one for "Removed", in which case I would like to use that, and I don't want it to choose a number that is used in a different manner in similar domain in some other place/utility domain.  For example, if I hadn't looked in the Lifecycle_Combined domain and just assumed the "missing" numbers were vacant, I might have chosen "3 = Removed".  Then later, if I used the Lifecycle_Combined domain, I would have a conflict because in Lifecycle_Status,  3 = Removed, whereas in Lifecycle_Combined, 3 = Proposed and Approved.  This is the kind of conflict I want to avoid.

Back sometime in 2018 I had installed Survey123Connect.  I don't recall whether I tried logging in or not, but I didn't get back to it until now.  Since the elapse of time, I figured it would be better to get the latest version, so uninstalled and installed version 3.3.5.1.  I tried to sign in to our enterprise Portal, but the sign-in button doesn't send me to the login page, or respond any manner.  I saw the info about Windows credentials, so I went there and there was an old credential, I presume related to my original install;  I deleted it, and tried signing in again.  Didn't work.  I switched to ArcGIS Online, and the sign-in button worked there (although I can't log in because I don't have an organizational account) I can sign in to Survey123, just not Survey123Connect Any ideas what might be the problem? ...
