Bulk Un-Assign Budget Items

To unassign many Component Items from a Budget Bucket, you must have navigated to the desired Budget Bucket, and have selected the parent Assets of the Components you want to unassign. See Selecting Items for detailed instructions on doing this.

To unassign Component Items from a Budget Bucket, follow these steps:

1. Make a selection of multiple Assets from the map using the above-mentioned methods. You will know that you have a multiple selected Assets when they are highlighted in blue on the map, and a list of Assets are displayed in the right-hand Info Panel.

2. Once multiple Assets are selected, you will see an option to ‘Bulk UnAssign’ at the top of the Info Panel. Click on this option.

   

3. A dialog window will appear with some options for refinement of the selected Assets. For each unique Asset Classification, you will be offered a choice to ‘Include’ or ‘Exclude’ the one or more Component Groups within that classification. By default, all Component Groups are marked as ‘Included’ - that is, all currently selected Items will be removed by default. To ‘Include’ a Component Group for unassignment, click on that Component Group tile. The tile will change colour. To ‘Exclude’ it (saving it from unassignment), simply click on it again and the tile will revert to no colour.

   Example

   In this process, ‘Include’ means that you with to ‘Include the Component Group for Unassigning’ from the Budget Bucket. ‘Exclude’ means that you do NOT wish to Unassign any Items associated with the Component Group from the Budget Bucket.

   Your selection may contain Sewer Reticulation Mains and several Local Sealed Roads, all of which are currently assigned to the Budget Bucket. In this case, you may see the following options (represented by gridded tiles):

   • Sewer > Reticulation > Mains > Gravity
     • Pipe
     • Manhole
   • Transportation > Roads > Local Road > Sealed
     • Earthworks
     • Pavement
     • Surface

   In the above, you could elect to Unassign just the Sewer Manhole Components (by ‘Including’ the Manhole Component Group), or you could Unassign all Sealed Road Components (by ‘Including’ the Earthworks, Pavement and Surface Component Groups).

4. Once you have marked items to be ‘Included’ for unassignment by clicking on their Component Group tile, you can then click the ‘Remove Filtered Component Types’ button at the bottom of the dialog window.

The Components have now been unassigned from the Budget Bucket. If any of the Items had a budgeted treatment method amounting to a cost, the Buckets Allocation gauge will react accordingly.
