Schema Editor

The schema is a crucial piece of the Designer XI application architecture. In the schema, you can establish the following configurations:

Map Designer XI components and fields to geodatabase features/object tables and fields.
Map Designer XI coded value domains to geodatabase domains.
Determine import and push rules for field attributes.
Determine where Designer XI components should go in the geodatabase (in other words, what feature class or object class should receive the component) when saving the design using layer and subtype rules.

TIP: To achieve high performance and maintain a lightweight app, Designer XI combines many features into common component types. When the design is pushed back into the GIS, these are then separated back to specific feature classes via layer and subtype rules.
Include other attributes (not driven by the CU or equipment specification) for designers to edit.
Determine which non-network fields and edits made upon them in the geodatabase should reflect in marking the belonging subnetworks and their GRR KV objects as stale data (used only by a Feeder Services and Circuit-based integration).

IMPORTANT: After making changes to any part of the schema, you must restart the Edge Service to see those changes reflected in the Designer XI application if you are using an on-premises version of the service. Or, you can wait 15 minutes, which is the default time interval the Edge Service follows to look for schema updates. The Hosted Edge Service will pick up configuration changes as they occur.

The Catalog tab provides two subtabs to assist in editing the schema: Electric GIS Schema and Gas GIS Schema. The same operations are available in both tabs.

GRR Delta Detection

For information regarding configuration of GRR Delta Detection, refer to the related topic in the Feeder Services implementation guide.

TIP: Functionality regarding GRR Delta Detection does not apply to Designer XI-related functionalities. This feature applies exclusively to a Feeder Services and Circuit-based integration.
