EDAMS – What’s New > Technical Systems

2 EDAMS Infrastructure Planning & Asset Management System
2.1
System Administration/NAM:
2.1.1
Publish Custom Fields to Element search
The new functionality allows the administrator to set custom fields visible in the
element selection dialog. This functionality changes the element selection dialog
extensively since the users can append it based on their needs and filter the results
using the added fields.
2.1.2
New Element Type Security per Organisational Post
The new element type security for elements overwrites the security profiles (applies
only on operations regarding the elements and their editing). This new feature allows
the administrator to set up element securities per post. For example, a post’s users
will be able to edit (delete/insert/update) only the elements specified by this feature.

Open the System Administration module.

On the Organisation menu, click Structure > Set element types security per
Organisational Post. The Element Types security window opens.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
2
The administrator can select the model and the Organisational post to show and
edit the operations that can be performed by the users of the selected post. The
scenario for our example is that the Quality users can only search and view the
water module’s elements. To achieve that select the Water model and the
Quality Users post as shown below:
The insert, edit, move, delete and element specific editing are disabled for all
water elements. However, if you change the model to Quality Monitoring you
can enable all editing functionality for the users in the selected post:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

2.1.3
New User Accessibility in modules per Organisational Post
This new functionality allows the administrators to set module access per post,
meaning that the users can access only the modules specified in their Organisational
Post.
This new security feature was created to help administrators restrict the module
access of the users based on their Organisational Post. This feature is located under
System Administration module:

Open the System Administration module.

On the Organisation menu, click Structure > Set NAM modules security
per Organisational Post. The NAM modules security window opens.
Selecting different Organisational Posts the administrator can set the right module
access for the users belonging to the selected post. In the example below, select the
Quality users which should only have access to Quality monitoring module:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Note that for all posts the GIS and Reporting manager are both enabled and cannot be
disabled for any user since it contains the basic functionality of NAM and the
security can be controlled by the functionality described in the previous sub-chapters.
2.1.4
New Element Audit Trail Settings
This new functionality allows the administrators to set which element types they
want to track changes. It’s visible for all NAM modules and for all elements,
including the custom ones.
In the example shown below, we selected to keep and track the changes for all
elements except Connection elements (Conn_DTL) and Zoning (Vzones). When a
custom element type is selected, like in our case, where the element type
Custom_Pointelements is highlighted, the system shows all the custom elements
belonging to the same type. Note that the system will keep the audit trail for all of
them, once the custom element type is selected.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

2.1.5
Inherit Pipe Properties
Now there is an option to inherit pipe library properties from another pipe in the
network. This is useful for the data capturing process since many adjacent pipes are
the same so instead of going into the pipe libraries and assigning a library item for
each pipe, you can select an adjacent pipe and inherit its library item selection. This
will streamline and make the capturing process faster and also improve the quality
assurance of the data.
2.2
EDAMS – Integrated Water Quality Monitoring
Now there is an option to insert Monitoring sampling points by typing in the coordinates.
The ‘Point by Coords’ icon has been added to both the Water and Sewer network modules
for this element which you can click, and type in the coordinates you wish the sampling
point to be inserted.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

3 EDAMS Network Planning- Water Network Analysis
3.1
SDE Connections & Layers
The Water Analysis users have now the capability of connecting to SDE databases and load
directly GIS layers into the system. In the previous versions the users needed to use 3rd
party software or EDAMS NAM to export the SDE layers into shapefiles before importing
them into EDAMS Water analysis. Note that the SDE layers are used for read only
purposes and cannot be altered.
SDE Connection
3.2
SDE Layers
Import Network from Lines Shapefile
The users can now import a new network using the new functionality in EDAMS Water
Analysis. Until now, the users could either create manually a new network or import one
directly from EDAMS NAM. The new functionality enables the users to import directly
using a shapefile they created.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
7
The user selects the shapefile he wants to
use for the new network and then maps the
system fields to the shapefile’s attributes in
order to import them directly into the
system.
3.3
Calculate Pipe Lengths
The system has now a new functionality to calculate the pipe lengths of the whole network.
The reason of the new functionality is that during the editing (splitting pipes, moving
nodes, etc) the pipe length as an attribute remains the same so we introduced this new
functionality to assess the lengths and assign the correct number to each pipe in the
network.
3.4
Calculate Pipe Minor Losses
This functionality is the result of the ‘Calculate Pipe lengths’ functionality since as stated
in the Minor Losses chapter the calculation is directly related to the pipe length.
3.5
Pipes/Pumps Libraries
The functionality regarding the libraries of both pipes and pumps has been replaced
completely. We are now using the same functionality as we use in EDAMS NAM and each
project has pre-loaded the default library items for pipes and pumps.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

4 EDAMS Network Planning - Sewer Analysis
4.1
SDE Connections & Layers
The same functionality as in Water analysis was created for Sewer analysis as well.
4.2
Zoning Control Points
The system now enables the user to separates zones, using the nodes new feature called
‘Zoning Control Point’. When this check box is selected, the user defines the node as a
zoning control point which will be used to separate the network zones. Note that all pumps
are automatically selected as zoning control points in the Sewer model.
4.3
Dividers
Due to the fact that sometimes there are cases where one manhole can forward the load to
more than one sewer there was a need for a new node type, which we call ‘Divider’. The
new functionality allows multiple outgoing sewers given that the node type is set to be a
divider.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
10
4.4
Lifts & Liftlines
The need for lifts and lift lines arose when we run Sewer analysis and saw from the results
that the network needed pumps for short distances (<10 meters). Instead of modelling these
small lifts as Pump stations we opted to create a new option for the nodes where the user
can set the lift (manually or can run a routine to calculate it) and the sewers where the users
can set the type to be ‘Lift line’. A lift line has the same options as a pump line (in terms of
attributes) but it symbolizes a smaller pipe that is used to get the load from the manhole
with the lift (small pump) to the next manhole where the elevation is higher.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
11
An example of the lift line and lift is shown in the image above. The green thick line shows
a lift line and the circled node shows a lift of 6.094 meters. The labels on the sewer before
the lift node and the lift line after the lift node show the difference in elevation. The first
number shows the top invert level (TIL) and the second number the bottom invert level
(BIL). The BIL of the sewer is 937.089 meters whereas the TIL of the lift line is 943.183
meters; that means a lift of 6.094 meters as stated on the lift node.
4.5
Invert Level Designer
The invert level designer was created in order to automatically set the necessary lifts to the
whole network. This new functionality requires from the user to select a starting node
(preferably a Zoning control point) and then run the new feature in order to calculate the
lifts required for the selected zone. In other words, it takes the last manhole of the zone and
calculates backwards by firstly identifying the longest route (since there is a starting
manhole and a many possible end points) and then calculates the necessary lifts for the
manholes in between.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
12
In the example above we selected the starting point of the blue zone (in red circle) and the
Invert level designer identifies the longest route as shown in red. Then, when the user
clicks on ‘Apply’ the system will set the necessary lifts throughout the selected zone (The
lifts are not necessarily located on the longest route).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
13
Note that the user can manipulate the results and merge lifts by setting the ‘Not allowed’
option inside any manhole. This will force the invert level designer to find the next
manhole and set the lift there. By doing this several times the user can get a lower number
of lifts per zones (meaning lower number of small pumps throughout the network in
general) but the downside is that the lift (height) is getting higher usually depending on the
network elevation. (Any lift that is under 10 meters in most cases is generally accepted)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
14
4.6
Calculate Sewer Lengths
The system has now a new functionality to calculate the pipe lengths for the whole
network. The reason of the new functionality is that during the editing (splitting sewers,
moving manholes, etc) the sewer length as an attribute remains the same so we introduced
this new functionality to assess the lengths and assign the correct number to each
sewer/pump line/lift line in the network.
4.7
Generate Zones
Now there is an option to generate the zones in Sewer analysis. This option wasn’t visible
in the previous versions and all zoning generation was handled by EDAMS Network Asset
Management > Zoning manager. The new feature gives the users the option to set up
zoning control points and manipulate the zone boundaries so that when you generate, the
zones will be as expected.
4.8
Zone hierarchy
Now there is an option to view the zone hierarchy, change the names of all the generated
zones and filter them in GIS.
4.9
Zone Statistics
Now there is an option to view the zone statistics, showing all the necessary information
including the total number of lifts per zone and total load.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
15
4.10 Reverse Sewer Direction (Multiple)
Now the users have the option of selecting multiple sewers and reversing their direction at
once. Using the Ctrl button + selecting all the necessary sewers > then click on the
‘Reverse Chain’ icon to change their direction.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

5.1
EDAMS – Maintenance Management
Job Cards Customisations
1) Ability to choose Job-card custom fields (CF) to hide from UI depending on
Maintenance Activity.
2) All Job-card Custom Fields will be by default selected (visible). User will be able to
uncheck custom fields he wants to hide per Maintenance Activity. Hiding of CF
will affect Web Portal too.
5.2
Administration – Maintenance Programs
1) Exclude Main and Child elements from maintenance Programs if element
decommissioned
2) If main element is decommissioned then a Maintenance Request will not create.
3) Control Access rights to tasks per Station assigned. This new feature enables
organisations to control access rights of employees from one station to tasks of
another. There are two modes available:
 View only tasks assigned to other station
 Hide tasks assigned to other station
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
17
4) Ability to create new custom element by copying all Custom fields of selected
similar Custom Element.
5.3
Elements Manipulations/Enhancements
1) Add a new field in all elements (user defined look up values per element)
This field will be visible on Select Element windows. System has the ability to
remember each user’s last filtering.
2) In addition, this new field can be used in Reporting Manager to filter elements and
create thematic maps.
3) QR Codes are now supported on various Element types
4) Ability to create many independent Hierarchy Trees in Caller Log / Problem Log /
Investigation / Jobcards. User will be able to drill down a hierarchy tree to select a
field to relate with the maintenance task.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
18
5) A new parameter is introduced to enable "Assign Activity" tab in Investigation
when No further processing required. The tab in this case will be called "Element"
and user will be able to select element only. Selection of maintenance activity is
hidden in this case.
5.4
Operational Activities
5.4.1
Event Log window (like in new Customer Services) in Investigation,
Problem log & Job-card forms
Option is available in Call Center as well. User who adds the event log can edit or
remove before he saves record. After saving, no changes are accepted. Only System
Administrator can edit. No one can remove the event log after it is saved.
5.4.2
Restore back status 3 in Call Center for separate calls status.
Option will not activate Activity tab.
5.4.3
Added (parametric) history of Investigation form changes.
System now keeps track of user name and date of change. Another tab lists changes
of fields. Record is not saved if no changes were made in any of the audited fields
(user may open and close the form only).
This option is activated parametrically and is available in Call Center as well.
5.4.4
New Mileage field -for vehicle SS).
Linked to specific log of element vehicle. Field is used to trigger preventive
maintenance requests based on mileage difference. If vehicle is not created as
element then this info will not end up to any log;
