RELATED IDEAS

Enable Classification/Asset Type-based Color Coding in Linear Diagram View under Asset Relationships Tab

1. Faster Visual Interpretation

Colored lines help users instantly recognize the type of related assets (e.g., roads vs. drainage vs. fiber).

Eliminates the need to click into each related asset to understand its nature.

2. Improved Operational Awareness

Field engineers and planners can quickly:

Spot utility crossings

Identify parallel assets along a corridor (e.g., road + water line)

Detect conflicts in planned work zones

3. Enhanced Planning & Coordination

Helps project teams coordinate:

Maintenance work (e.g., don’t dig near a fiber optic line)

Scheduling (e.g., do drainage and lighting upgrades in the same stretch)

4. Supports Decision-Making

Decision-makers and supervisors get a clearer visual context of asset interdependencies.

Useful in asset replacement, upgrades, or new project feasibility studies
