Smart Job Planner uses sophisticated algorithms to find a list of optimum project candidates automatically according to specified Risk Criteria. An optimum project candidate is comprised of a group of adjacent conveyance assets that have the highest project-wide LOF or BRE based on Risk Criteria specified by a user. You could then select a project candidate from the project candidate list to create a project.
To start with Smart Planner, first, navigate to the tab of Job Planner from the top main navigation bar and then select its subtab Smart Job Planner.
Step 1:
After clicking the button of Smart Job Planner, a dialog will pop up and there are 2 modes for a user to choose from. Draw Selection Mode allows a user to draw polygons as the project area. By contrast, the Whole Dataset Mode allows a user to choose the entire dataset as the project area.
In Draw Section Mode, a user could start to draw a polygon on the map, and when a polygon is drawn a popup will show up.
A user could then choose to Save the project area and go to the next step, Edit the project area, or Delete the drawn area and redraw another polygon.
Step 2:
After saving the project area, a user is asked to fill out the necessary information including Planning Risk Criteria, Project Size, Project Budget, Cost Configuration for finding optimum project candidates accordingly.
Planning Risk Criteria: As a required input, please choose between LOF or BRE to be used as a measuring method when creating projects.
Project Size: As a required input, please input the lower bound and upper bound of the total length of conveyance assets respectively.
Budget: As a required input, please input your budget for this project.
Cost Configuration: As a required input, please input the estimated cost per linear foot for replacing a conveyance asset according to its diameter. The calculation of the budget is based on Cost Configuration.
Step 3:
After the search algorithm completes the query, it returns a list of the optimum project proposals based on the query inputs. Depending on the location and project needs, the best project proposal can be selected from the list. A flexible user-interface allows for the addition and removal of pipes within each project to better suit a project's requirements. The selected pipes the appear highlighted in blue on the user screen.
Step 4:
Fill out the project information including Name, Start Date, End Date, Manager, Inspector, and Note, and click the create button, a user will then see his newly created project.
