Entering Leak Records

In the Gas Industry Standard Data Model, leak information is recorded using Gas Field Operations Record features, where the Type property is used to specify that it is a leak.

During placement of a Gas Field Operations Record, the Asset ID information of the Gas Main it is placed on is used to set its Asset ID property. The Asset ID is essential for the generation of leak analysis reports and displays, because it is used as the link between the leak record and associated pipe feature.

Note: If the Type property of the Gas Field Operations Record is not set to "Leak", the instance of the feature is ignored when leak statistics are computed, and listed under Total disregarded leak-features in the List Statistics Report dialog.

Note: If the Asset ID property of the Gas Field Operations Record is empty, a linkage between the record feature and the associated Gas Main can still be established using the Associate Single Leak Feature or Associate Leak Features tools.
