Smoke Test Fields

The General tab is for recording general information with condition and scores.

Pipe Id: This field automatically populates with the ID associated to the selected asset.
Pipe Type: This field automatically populates with the attribute of the Pipe Id.
Map Number: Enter the variable character identifier from a map book, if applicable.
Length: Enter the length, in feet. This field may be automatically populated if it is mapped to the geodatabase.
Diameter: Enter the diameter. This field may be automatically populated if it is mapped to the geodatabase. The content of this list is populated by the administrator in Designer under Preferences > Custom Codes > SDIAM.
Pipe Location: Enter the location. This field may be automatically populated.

The Upstream section contains information about the connected feature found upstream.

Upstream Id: This field may be automatically populated with the upstream ID of the of the next asset in the geometric network. If there are no upstream features, the message No upstream node found appears.

Type: This field automatically populates with the feature type of the upstream ID.
Depth: Enter the depth for the feature, generally measured in feet. This field may automatically populate if it is mapped for the selected feature ID.
Location: Enter the location. This field may be automatically populated with the upstream ID.
Plugged: Select if the pipe is plugged.
Blower: Select if a blower is used.
Upstream: Click to change to the next asset.

TIP: If Upstream has been clicked too many times, the best practice is to reload (refresh) the page.

The Downstream section contains information about the connected feature found downstream.

Downstream Id: This field may be automatically populated with the downstream ID of the next asset in the geometric network. If there are no downstream features, the message No downstream node appears.

Type: This field automatically populates with the feature type of the downstream ID.
Depth: Enter the depth for the feature, generally measured in feet. This field may automatically populate if it is mapped for the selected feature ID.
Location: Enter the location. This field may automatically populate with the downstream ID.
Plugged: Select if the pipe is plugged.
Blower: Select if a blower is used.
Downstream: Click to change to the next asset.

TIP: If Downstream has been clicked too many times, the best practice is to reload (refresh) the page.
