Network Adapter - Electric Distribution Data Model Worksheet

Version: 10.2.1c and 10.2.1c SP3

Resource Center Home

Use this worksheet if your data model is based on the Electric Distribution data model, but with some customization.

Print out this worksheet and use it to map the Electric Distribution features/fields to the features and fields in your data model. Blank rows are provided specifically for this information and will be useful when creating your XSL style sheet and assigning model names.

*Some fields are not included in the Electric Distribution data model, but are required by DMS. Those are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the tables below. You may need to create these fields in your geodatabase.
