HxGN NetWorks Core | Portal
Network model information and tools the whole business can use,even on the move
As part of the HxGN NetWorks portfolio, HxGN NetWorks
Core | Portal enables network operators to improve
efficiency, enterprise awareness and data quality.
Across the business and beyond, you can securely
search, visualize, analyze and update definitive network
information via accessible and easy-to-use browserbased clients.
The portal and supporting web services use HxGN
NetWorks configuration and capabilities to ensure
conformance with corporate standards, while expediting
deployment and reducing development and ongoing
maintenance costs.

Universal network insight
Almost every area of a utility or communications
company’s operations needs access to current, reliablenetwork information, as well as tools to exploit it.
However, finding a solution suitable for universal use is achallenge. Specialized network engineering tools are toocomplex and costly for general deployment, while webmapping tools only deliver basic map information andsimple spatial functionality.

Portal balances both – it is simple enough for anyone touse but is also capable of handling advanced network
workflows. Accessed via standard browsers – using
desktops, laptops or tablets for Windows, iOS andAndroid – it has a responsive user interface for effective
operation across platforms.

Network analysis and visualization
With Portal, users throughout the business can accessand exploit the richer information and capabilities
inherent in the network model, including traversing
complex feature relationships, navigating to linked
information and leveraging capabilities of HxGN
NetWorks products. These include:•Intelligent detail and schematic views for easybrowsing and editing in locations with dense
concentrations of assets and features•Network traces that give essential insight andunderstanding of the connectivity, status andrelationships among the multitude of features thatmake up a network

Single source of truth
By providing secure, universal access to definitive
information, Portal allows the entire organization to basedecisions on the same view of the network – reducing therisk of events such as accidents, damaged infrastructure
or project overruns. By enabling more business functions
to access, visualize, redline and edit network records,
Portal helps reduce errors, inconsistencies and latency
in data. It allows operators to get closer to maintaining an“as-operated” view of their networks.

Business logic
The consequences of uncontrolled access to coreasset records are nearly limitless. A prerequisite of any
enterprise system is the ability to easily and reliably
control the information each user has access to and whattools or processes can be applied to it. By using existing
resources established by HxGN NetWorks products – suchas role-based access control, legends, graphic symbology
and traces – Portal can ensure adherence to corporate
standards while removing the cost and effort required
to recreate and maintain equivalent capabilities in analternative tool.

Extended enterprise support
Network operators increasingly rely on business processes
that extend beyond their immediate organizations. Manualinterfaces with third parties introduce delay, processing
overheads and data errors, while blocking management
oversight and tracking. Portal empowers operators toprovide secure access to network information beyond
the enterprise, including the ability to control data andfunctionality by roles. It can offer fast, efficient andreliable support for contractors and service delivery
partners, check-before-you-dig services, public safety
agencies and more. There’s even a streamlined consumer
interface for public-facing requirements.

Simplified administration
The scope of end-user capabilities delivered by Portal,
combined with the range of supported platforms andoperating systems, enables diverse use cases and user
requirements to be met using a single solution. Its ability touse business rules established in HxGN NetWorks products
and centralized administration simplify demanding tasks
such as managing access control and client software
across a large user base.

Client functionality•Review, edit, capture: Edit and add graphical records
for greater positional accuracy; navigate and edit
attribute records using metadata definitions basedon permissions•Network traces: Run traces and visualize resultsin the map view with a rich selection of symbology
overrides, allowing you to highlight results whenviewed with different maps•

Query and analysis: Utilize generic attribute queries,
spatial queries or spatial analysis•

Graphic display: Render records as maps using
WMS, WMTS or vector service that delivers the samegraphic symbology an HxGN NetWorks Core user
would see•

Detail and schematic views: Experience clearer
visualization and easier editing in locations withhigher densities of map features•

Data mashup: Gain greater insight by viewing andanalyzing network records against other sources– both internal and external – from engineeringdrawings and customer locations to consumer
mapping and weather maps•

Navigation: Save and recall the current map view andtake advantage of support for 3D viewing and a fullset of measuring tools•

Printing: Define format, page size, scale, DPI andorientation; choose pre-defined templates, withconfigurable title and textual fields, and relocate theeffective print area in the map view•

User interface: Enjoy a touch-enabled, responsive UIthat adapts to client needs
