An important feature of the Water module is that designers have the ability to establish a comprehensive set of workflows. Workflows streamline business processes based on the water utility’s current way of doing business. Workflows help guide you through common tasks and govern the way information is entered into the database. Workflows — and related business rules that are working behind the scenes — also prevent designers from leaving out required elements, choosing incorrect materials, or including incorrect material sizes, thereby reducing errors during design and data updates
The Water module provides four types of workflows:
| Workflow Type | Definition |
|---|---|
|
Acquisition Workflow |
Create network points, pipes, house connectors, sites, facilities, pressure zones, and so on. |
|
Analysis Workflow |
Find connected pipes and trace the network from a designated start and stop point. |
|
Cable Acquisition Workflow |
Create control cables and points. |
|
Report Workflow |
Generate and print predefined and customized reports and export the report into HTML, ASCII, or PDF files. |
You can create your own workflows.
