MultiSpeak Default Values

If Network Adapter encounters empty fields during export, it may be configured to look at the MspDefaults.xml file to fill empty fields with default values.

MspDefaults.xml does not support eaEquipment, condN or conductorType values. Use the equipment ID style sheet to create defaults for these values.

To define default values and configure MspDefaults.xml, follow the steps below:

Browse to MspDefaults.xml in the following directory: Program Files\Miner and Miner\ArcFM Solution\Bin\Xml

Open MspDefaults.xml. Add a <MSPDEFAULTS> tag for each MultiSpeak noun (or feature class) that contains fields for which you want to define defaults. The "noun" attribute value corresponds with the MultiSpeak schema.

<ELEMENTNAME> contains the name of the field for which the default is defined.
<ELEMENTVALUE> contains the default value for the specified field.

    <ELEMENT>
      <ELEMENTNAME>constr</ELEMENTNAME>
      <ELEMENTVALUE>Default OH</ELEMENTVALUE>
    </ELEMENT>
  </MSPDEFAULTS>

When you've finished defining default values, save and close MspDefaults.xml.
Next, open ArcMap with a Network Adapter extension license enabled. You will need to set the Network Adapter option that looks for default values.
In ArcMap, select Network Adapter options from the MultiSpeak/Network Adapter toolbar.
Select the Export tab and look for the Default Values section.

Select the Use Default Values checkbox. If this box is not checked, Network Adapter will not look for default values during export.
In the Defaults XML field, browse to the MspDefaults.xml file.
Click OK to save changes and dismiss the Network Adapter Options dialog.
