Select a feature type

Edit opens the editing toolbar. After selecting Point, Line or Field, choose the record type from Feature type. Only types belonging to enabled project modules appear.

Geometry Main available types
Point POP / exchange, Site cabinet, Splice closure, Address entrance, Building, Site, Manhole, Handhole, Pole
Line Fiber cable, Duct / conduit, Trench route, Aerial line
Area Area
Check the feature type and existing values before editing.

Draw a new feature

  1. Select Edit.
  2. Choose Point, Line or Field, then the appropriate Feature type.
  3. For a point, click its position on the map. For a line or area, click the vertices in order.
  4. Finish a line or area by double-clicking or pressing Enter. Backspace removes the last vertex; Esc cancels drawing.
  5. Complete the form and select Save.
  6. When finished, select Finish to leave editing mode.

Snap helps align with existing points and vertices. Snapping a suitable line endpoint to a node may create an endpoint relationship. Drawing a cable over a trench or duct does not create a route relationship; save that separately.

Change attributes

  1. Open the feature card with Select.
  2. Select Edit attributes.
  3. Change its name, code, status and type-specific information.
  4. Select Save and check the result notification.

Status options are Planned, Under construction, Existing and Retired. Enter numeric values in the units shown in the form.

If another user has changed the same record, the application displays a warning. Some forms retain your draft; selecting Save again may apply it over the current record. Do not save again without reviewing the warning and the differences shown.

Change locations and vertices

Open Edit geometry in the card. Drag a point to move it. Moving a node also moves the endpoints of cables connected to it.

You can drag line or area vertices. Dragging an intermediate point adds a vertex; right-clicking a vertex deletes it. For areas with holes, only the outer boundary is edited and existing holes are retained. Finish with Save location or Cancel.

Location editing is not supported for multipart geometries. To change such geometry, consider correcting the source file and assess how reimporting will affect existing relationships.

Specify location quality

Edit under Location quality changes information independently of the geometry:

  • Positioning method: how the location was obtained, such as survey, CAD drawing, official address source or user placement.
  • Confirmation: Unconfirmed, Confirmed in source or Confirmed on site.
  • Accuracy: accuracy in metres, if known.

Moving geometry does not constitute a confirmed field measurement. Select the confirmation status explicitly according to the evidence available.

Undo and delete

Undo on the toolbar reverses the last saved operation in this session. During drawing, undo keys may affect the drawing draft. Use History for earlier saved operations.

Delete in the card may affect related records too. Read the scope in the confirmation window. Later changes or dependent records may need to be resolved before an operation can be undone.

See Shared site infrastructure for physical placement and route records.
