CRITICAL ASSET SCOPE AND RISK


Underground infrastructures and assets may now be designated as "Critical" through the "Infrastructure Types" section of the Administration page.




Figure 1: Infrastructure Types Critical vs Non-Critical



Designating infrastructures as critical provides DigTix the ability to determine if critical assets are in the scope of a locate request. This allows DigTix users to efficiently identify and prioritize high-impact locate requests.


As with all locate request fields, the new "Critical Infrastructure Close" field can be filtered, sorted, hidden, saved within views, and exported to Excel directly from the locate request grid.


The "Critical Infrastructure Close" field is considered within the DigTix Risk Score model.

The new "Critical Infrastructure Close" field may also be used as a condition when defining assignment rules. In this way, all locate requests involving a critical asset can be assigned to a user (with an optional alert) for careful review before dispatching to the field.

AUTOMATED FOLLOW UP TRIGGERS


It is now possible to configure the automatic triggering of follow ups based on infrastructure proximity. Such triggers can be configured from the "Triggers" tab on the "Follow Up Types" section of the DigTix Administration page. Follow ups which are automatically triggered can also be automatically assigned to the appropriate damage prevention specialist via the "Ticket Assignment" section of the DigTix Administration page.

USER PREFERENCES


DigTix is in the process of adding several configurable account preferences. The first option allows users to choose whether they would like DigTix to save a local copy of the images taken within the DigTix application. The user preferences window can be accessed via the account menu in the top right corner of the DigTix application.

In future releases, more preferences will be added. These include:


  • The default UI mode for smartphone devices ("Full UI" vs "Field UI").
  • The default UI mode for desktop devices ("Full UI" vs "Dispatch UI").
  • Viewing the raw locate request or the standardized version in the "Original Request" panel.
  • And more.


If there are additional settings you'd like to see in the user preferences page, please let us know!
