Sync approach

Incremental sync nightly (typical)

Typical update file sizes:- 100 feature update ~9MB- 1000 feature update ~80MB

Simple, flexible, non-proprietary file sync

myWorld Roadmap

Smallworld integration

Internal worldsPhysical relationshipsNetwork relationshipsGSS integration

Design concept for network info Will display pre-calculated relationships (e.g. upstream / downstream devices, isolating sections) directly

Will call Smallworld / GSS for more complex traces

Search and query

More flexible spatial and non-spatial queries

Search on external data sources

Links from Excel to map Grid display in browser

Red-lining / update

Enhanced red-lining tools(points done now)

Sync with Smallworld

Attribute update

Simple object addition

Printing / plotting

Simple printing

Plotting using templates via Smallworld server

Mobile

Disconnected modeHybrid mode

Continued enhancements for
