Jeff,
The compiled flag does have an influence on the weighting of lines when they are used in a fabric adjustment. First a quick overview on the accuracy category structure (see also help doc here).
In general the accuracy categories are assigned hierarchically. An accuracy category (or adjustment weighting) is required at the Plan level, whereas they are optional on the parcels and on the lines. A parcel inherits it weight from the Plan, and a line inherits its weight from its parcel. However, any particular parcel can have a weight assigned to it, and that accuracy over-rides the Plan’s accuracy category, and similarly, any particular line can have a weight category assigned to it, and its accuracy over-rides the parcel’s (and plan’s) accuracy category.
With regards to the compiled flag, you’ll notice that it is set at the parcel level only. It is the equivalent of setting the accuracy on the parcel to accuracy category 5, but it only comes into play if the parcel accuracy has not been explicitly set. For example, if the parcel accuracy category has been set to category 3, then the parcel accuracy is assigned that value of 3, regardless of whether or not it has been flagged as compiled.
So the compiled flag serves a dual role of:
- indicating that one or more lines of the parcel have been calculated/derived from other sources
- assigning the parcel an accuracy category of 5, but only if the accuracy category on the parcel has not been explicitly set
Hope this helps. (Apologies for the delayed response.)
