Publish: Design or As Built

Stranding information that is brought into your design from GIS is stored in geodatabase tables that are separate from the design tables, which are populated as you design your RF network in Designer HFC. Additionally, this stranding information is not auto-optimized upon import. If you change existing stranding information (for example, if during design you realize that a house count needs increased to serve more customers), the data is then subjected to optimization.

Whether you choose to publish a design {data is stored in proposed tables} or commission a design to GIS {data is stored in as-built tables}, stranding information is stored in as-built tables. This is slightly different from the way that RF componentry is handled. Componentry placed during design is saved in proposed tables when you click the Publish Design  icon. When you click the Publish As Built  icon, componentry is then saved to as-built tables.
