Node locations and cover levels / elevations can be updated from GPS Surveys:
To update the network from GPS data:
Show me
For each GPS survey, 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 GPS Survey Updating Rules section below.
An Update from Surveys log is displayed containing information on number of nodes created / updated and details of survey objects not used for update.
If an associated node does not exist in the network a new node will be created at the X, Y coordinates of the GPS Survey. The GPS Survey Date field of the new asset will be populated with the Survey Date of the GPS Survey.
The Used in Network field will be checked for all GPS Surveys used to create new assets.
The location of existing nodes in the network will be updated from GPS Surveys if:
The Used in Network field will be checked for all GPS Surveys used to update the location of existing assets.
GPS Surveys take precedence for setting asset location over Manhole Surveys
The Update from Surveys Log details the number of GPS Surveys not used for updating the network and the reason that the survey has not been used.
The location of existing nodes will NOT be updated from GPS Surveys if:
GPS Surveys not used for network update |
Details |

Surveys previously used |
Surveys previously used in the network are identified by the status of the Used in Network field of the GPS Survey object in the GPS Survey Grid. If this field is checked, the survey is not considered for network updating. |
Surveys older than the node 'Survey Date' |
If the GPS Survey Survey Date is earlier than the GPS Survey Date of asset associated with the survey, the associated asset will not be updated. |
Surveys with blank asset id values |
The GPS Survey will not be used for updating if there is no Asset ID value. |
Surveys with illegal asset type values |
Applies to Distribution Networks only. The GPS Survey will not be used for updating if the Asset Type of the GPS Survey is blank or not recognised. |
Surveys with blank coordinate values |
The GPS Survey will not be used if there is no X and / or Y coordinate data. |
Surveys creating nodes with conflicting ids |
The GPS Survey will not be used for updating if:
