Running Utility Network Traces

Perform a Utility Network Electric Trace

To perform an electric trace on the Utility Network, perform the following steps.

On the Toolbar, open the Electric Traces menu.
Click on the desired trace type. A checkmark displays in the upper corner to indicate it is selected. The Trace Options pane displays on the left of your browser.
Click on the map to identify a starting location for the trace. All traces allow for single or multiple start points.

NOTE: When using multiple start points, you can select up to five. The result set from a trace containing multiple start points will show in the same color.
If more than one feature is identified as the starting location, select the desired feature and click Run. Results are highlighted on the map and tabular results are displayed in the bottom half of the browser.
To add barriers to your trace, click the Add a Barrier button, then click on the map where you'd like to place the barrier. Repeat this for each barrier you want to add. Up to 10 barriers can be added.
Use the Clear Trace icon to remove the flag and trace results from the map.
To change the trace type and run a new trace, click the current trace type to turn it off, then click the new trace type to turn on the different trace type. NOTE: Gas and Water traces for a utility network function the same way, but each of them only has the option to run System or Isolation traces.

Utility Network Electric Traces

The following tools are available on the sample Utility Network Electric Tracing Toolbar.

Icon	Trace	Description
	Upstream Trace	Finds all lines and devices in a feeder system that are upstream of the trace flag. Features are found by phase.
	Downstream Trace	Finds all lines and devices in a feeder system that are downstream of the trace flag. Features are found by phase.
	Upstream Protective Device Trace	Finds all protective devices upstream of the flag. Devices are found by phase. The trace stops at the circuit source.
	Downstream Protective Device Trace	Finds all protective devices downstream of the flag. Devices are found by phase. The trace stops at an open switch.
	Clear Trace	Removes the trace flag and the trace results from the map view.
	Barrier Point	Places barriers on the map. Up to 10 barriers may be placed.

Utility Network Gas Traces

The following tools are available on this sample Utility Network Gas Tracing toolbar.

Icon	Trace	Description
	Gas Traces	Click this button to view the Gas Traces toolbar.
	Isolation Trace	Identifies features that interrupt the flow of gas. NOTE: When running this trace, it is possible to return an empty results set. This occurs when the area cannot be isolated.
	System Trace	This trace begins at the flag placed by the user and stops at any closed valves (closed valves interrupt the flow of gas).
	Clear Trace	Removes the trace flag and the trace results from the map view.
	Barrier Point	Places barriers on the map. Up to 10 barriers may be placed.

Utility Network Water Traces

The following tools are available on this sample Utility Network Water Tracing toolbar.

Icon	Trace	Description
	Water Traces	Click this button to view the Water Traces toolbar.
	Isolation Trace	Identifies features that interrupt the flow of water. NOTE: When running this trace, it is possible to return an empty results set. This occurs when the area cannot be isolated.
	System Trace	This trace begins at the flag placed by the user and stops at any closed valves.
	Clear Trace	Removes the trace flag and the trace results from the map view.
	Barrier Point	Places barriers on the map. Up to 10 barriers may be placed.
