Asset location and condition information can be updated from General Surveys and General Survey Lines:
To update the network from General Survey and/or General Survey Line data:
Show me
For each General Survey and/or General Survey Line, InfoAsset Manager checks if the survey has already been used in the network (Used in network field checked). Only surveys that have not been used are considered for update. See the General Survey Updating Rules section below.
For each survey that has an unchecked Used in network field, InfoAsset Manager checks the date of the survey data. If the date is more recent than that in the Survey date field for the asset, the asset data is updated. The Current field of the survey used for update is checked.
An Update from Surveys log is displayed containing information on number of assets created / updated and details of survey objects not used for update.
If an associated asset does not exist in the network a new asset will be created at the X, Y coordinates of the General Survey. The Survey date field of the new asset will be populated with the Survey date of the General Survey.
The Used in network field will be checked for all General Surveys used to create new assets.
Note: If there are multiple surveys with the same Survey date for a particular asset and Treat surveys with the same survey date as one survey is checked, coordinates of the created asset will not be set if the coordinates of all associated surveys are not the same.
Existing assets in the network will be updated from General Surveys if:
The Used in network field will be checked for all General Surveys used to update existing assets.
The Update from Surveys Log details the number of General Surveys not used for updating the network and the reason that the survey has not been used.
Existing assets will NOT be updated from General Surveys if:

Surveys previously used |
Surveys previously used in the network are identified by the status of the Used in network field of the General Survey object in the General Survey Grid. If this field is checked, the survey is not considered for network updating. |
Surveys older than the asset 'Survey Date' |
If the survey's Survey date is earlier than the Survey date of the asset associated with the survey, the associated asset will not be updated. |
Surveys lacking a survey date | The survey will not be used for updating if there is no Survey date value. |
Surveys with blank asset id values |
The survey will not be used for updating if there is no Asset ID value. |
Surveys with illegal asset type values |
The survey will not be used for updating if the Asset type of the survey is blank or not recognised. |
Surveys creating assets with conflicting ids |
The survey will not be used for updating if:

When updating asset locations, if there are multiple surveys with the same Survey date for a particular asset and Treat surveys with the same survey date as one survey is checked, coordinates of existing assets will not be updated if the coordinates of all associated surveys are not the same.
When updating locations of linear assets when the asset is connected to nodes:
