In the Wastewater module, designers can establish a comprehensive set of workflows. Workflows streamline business processes based on the wastewater 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, thus reducing errors during design and data updates.
The Wastewater module provides four types of predefined workflows:
| Workflow Type | Definition |
|---|---|
|
Acquisition Workflow |
Create network points, pipes, house connections, fire hydrants, structures, facilities, and so on. |
|
Analysis Workflow |
Trace the network from a designated start point to an optionally specified end point. |
|
Report Workflow |
Generate and print predefined or customized reports. Export reports as HTML, ASCII, or PFDF files. |
|
Classification Workflow |
Classify imported wastewater content. |
You can also create your own workflows.
