Utility Network - Terminals: Visual support for terminal configuration

The configuration of terminals and terminal paths in the Utility Network is purely attributive. I currently find it very tedious to collect the information on which terminals and terminal paths a particular device is configured with (the terminal configuration can be found in the Utility Network Properties under "Terminal Configurations" and their assignment to the devices under "<Domain Network> - <DomainDevice>", column "Terminal Configuration Name" on the far right of the table).


In addition, the functions for editing terminals and terminal paths are distributed in the Utility Network menu and the selection of a terminal takes place via a drop-down list.


Here I would find it helpful to have visual support directly on the respective device object, which provides complete information at a glance about which terminals the device is equipped with and which Terminal Paths are intended for this device. Maybe some kind of pop-up would do the job.

It might also be possible to combine the functions for editing terminals (Terminal Connections, Terminal Paths) in one function?

There's not a lot of common functionality between the modify terminal connections tool and the terminal paths tools (the UIs are completely different, and one is for edges while the other is for devices) so combining them doesn't really make sense.

Adding information about the terminal configuration to the pop-up is a good idea, and is something that I know is on the radar of the solutions team for the 'Configure UN Layers' tool.
