In a recent UNM migration project I worked on, the client asked about the ability to include messages and notifications with trace results. So depending on the results of a trace (e.g. included assets), display custom configured messages. This is to help users understand the significance/impact of a trace and to also provide users/field crews with additional information about the trace result.
Example scenarios where this could be useful include:
- Display a message if an isolation trace will isolate a critical customer (e.g. a life-support customer),
- Display a message if a trace includes significant assets/areas that need to be managed as part of an isolation (e.g. pump stations, different pressure zones).
- Providing summary information of the trace results (e.g. total impacted customers etc.)
There could be many other possible scenarios where custom trace messages/notifications would be useful. The above are just a few examples.
The reason for this request is if a trace selection includes a large number of features, quickly finding key information from the selected features can be difficult. Being able to develop custom messages/notifications linked to trace results will help users/field crews quickly understand key information and impacts of a trace.
