Update Service Territory

The asset package includes the Service Territory layer that defines the spatial reference for the UN feature classes. It also represents the territory where the network topology is maintained and where Fiber Manager XI editing tools are available.

No changes are needed for the example data. If you do make changes, keep these concepts in mind.

• If you want to add to, update, or edit the Service Territory, these changes must be done before you create the UN. Once this spatial reference has been defined and the UN has been created, it cannot be changed.

• This feature layer polygon is used to create the UN geographical extent. The boundary of the polygon must span the operational and geographical area of your fiber optic system. It must have at least one feature that outlines the service area boundary, plus a reasonable buffer.

• From the Contents pane, right-click on Map and choose Properties. Make sure you choose, or verify a projected coordinate system for your map that is appropriate for your service location. You can confirm the selected system in your map properties.

  

  See Geographic vs. Projected Coordinate Systems for more information about these map properties.

• Some ArcFM tools require the ability to assign negative Z values for below grade elevations. This spatial reference must contain a vertical coordinate system with a direction of positive up and a resolution that defines a minimum Z value with negative values.

• The feature layer is copied into the new feature dataset as M and Z-enabled, editor tracking enabled, and global IDs added if they are not present.
