Map Themes (Visualisation)

The Metrix Asset Management system is equipped with a built-in map theming tool that works automatically with your data and attributes. This allows users to visualise breakdowns of their entire asset portfolio, assisting in better and faster decision making. Additionally, these visualisation tools can aid in highlighting asset management targets within your asset portfolio.

Info

Remember, the Metrix Asset Management system controls spatial features at a component level. When viewing some map themes, there may be overlapping shapes caused by stacked geometries of multiple asset components. This can cause obscuration and/or blending of the rendered colours.

In these cases, it is advisable to filter your data to a specific component group.

Available Map Themes/Visualisations

There are a number of built-in map theme visualisations that are ready to work immediately for you. These cover a range of areas from lifecycle theming, to report category visualisations. The following details some of the available themes. This is not an exhaustive list, but provided for context on the types of themes provided.

General Map Themes

These map themes switch around the asset classification and status.

  • Asset Class

This is the default visualisation theme for the system. Each component is coloured according to its Asset Class (the first level of the asset classification structure).

  • Component Group

This theme colours according to the Component Group level of the classification structure. This offers far more granularity than the Asset Class theme.

Users should be aware of potential stacked geometry issues when using this theme.

  • Status

The status theme colours each component geometry according to its current status code.

Intervention Map Themes

These map themes aim to highlight the lifecycle metrics associated with your asset portfolio.

  • Condition

The condition theme displays components on a colour gradient from green (1 - excellent) to red (5 - really poor).

  • Residual Life

This theme converts a component’s residual life to a percentage of its overall useful life. The result is then displayed on a colour gradient from green (100% remaining life) to red (0% remaining life).

  • Construction Year

This displays components in a accordance with their recorded original construction date. This is a useful data audit tool as it will highlight anomaly records (in comparison to the surrounding asset components).

Report Categories

The system takes each of your configured report category configurations and automatically creates a map theme to render each component in accordance with their assigned option within that category (including missing or no assignments).

The map theme switcher will render an option for each configured report category.

Metric Attributes

The custom attribute form specifications contain several restricted attribute names that relate to component metrics such as width, length, height, etc. If any of these fields are implemented within your component custom attribute definitions, the map theme generator can style your geometries based on these numeric results.

Custom Attributes

Any custom attribute definition that is controlled by an option list will be available within the map theme switcher for render.
