The Object status tab manages the objects affected by the current outage. The tab shows the current status of the objects in the outage model.

The objects are presented in a hierarchy based on their relationships in the network, which makes it possible to see the impact and status changes throughout the model. When you change the status of an object, the change is automatically propagated to related objects in the model.

 

Status values

Each object in the model has a status value that shows how the object is affected by the outage:

•Planned - Planned to be affected at a specific time. Can have a planned start time.

•Initiated - Is currently affected. Requires a start time.

•Resolved - Has been handled and is no longer affected. Requires both start and end time.

•Excluded - Is not affected or should not be handled in the outage. Any times and other information related to the previous status are automatically removed.

 

Work with objects in the outage model

•Add objects:

a.Press and select objects in the graphical view.

b.Set status and times and press OK. A list of objects that will be added to the outage model is displayed.

c.Press Execute.

•Change status or date and times:

a.Right-click on an object and select the desired status or Change dates and times.

•Delete object:

a.Right-click on an object and select Remove. When you delete an object, its underlying objects and links are also deleted, if they are not used by other parts of the model.

•Update the outage model:

a.Press . This creates a proposal that compares the current model with the network model, for example by:

▪Identifying new or deleted objects and links.

▪Updating changed object names or IDs.

b.Confirm the proposed changes before they are implemented.
