Design versioning is key to the support of planning, design, and construction processes. Versioning allows you to design future changes to the network in a way that documents these changes separately from the as-built information. Let's create a new design for a simple network new build. The first step is to create a special boundary for your design. Let's enter a number for this design and set the status to Designing. Once the design is open, you can create new network assets. In this example, we're going to place two new manholes and a route to serve this particular building. Add in a spec for the manhole. Now add another manhole for this building location. Next, you need an underground route to connect these two manholes. And last, set the cover as paving. The design tool gives you a couple options, so you can look at all the changes that are a part of this design. Here you put in two manholes, added a route, and attached some of the existing route. Internally, you also attached in a few cable segments and added some conduit information. You can check your design for conflicts, data errors, and validations. In this case, there are no conflicts. But if there were, the design tool will assist you in resolving these. Network Manager Active Version Management feature facilitates proactive conflict avoidance. This can identify potential conflicts much sooner in the process, leading to major design process efficiencies. Once you're satisfied with your design, you can publish it and change the status to, for example, construction ready, and move on to the next step in the process. It's possible to view data from all versions at the same time. Here you can see all of the proposed designs in this area, along with the as-built information, by just looking at the future view. You can see all of the proposed work that's been going on, as well as the as-built information. You can also run database queries efficiently across all of these versions at once. Network Manager's design versioning provides highly flexible future views, proactive conflict avoidance, reduced administration, and most importantly, mobile versioning.
