Text constants

The various selection lists of the application forms are retrieved from the text constants. If the content of the text constants is edited, the selection lists on the forms will be changed accordingly the next time the application is downloaded.

Editing text constants

Click the Text constants link in the admin interface.

On the displayed list, click the ID of a text constant to edit it. To limit the list content to a single group, click the group in question on the Filter list.

Text constant columns

Text constants include the following information for each setting:

• Group name: text constants have been divided into groups, which are used to categorise the settings related to various topics.
• Logical text: the text that the application uses internally.
• Text [fi]…Text [en]: the translations of the Text field that are displayed in the browser in the selected language.
• Numeric value: is used, for example, as the numeric value equivalent to the text value, to provide information on whether the object is included in the safe-to-dig.com service, whether the feature is in use and to indicate the type of technology. Further information is available in the chapter that discusses each specific group.
• Abbreviation: the internally used default abbreviation of the text constant. 
• Abbreviation [fi]...Abbreviation [en]: the translations of the Abbreviation field that are displayed in the browser in the selected language. If the selected language is not supported, the Abbreviation field will be displayed.
• Numeric value 2…Numeric value 4:
• Numeric value 3: Is used for existing *_OWNER groups to point directly to STP Owner ID, which will be then used directly in the STP view (Environment/Customer specific STP Owner ID's to be defined manually per environment when STP activation happens). With this, it is important that these fields remain free until then.
• Text value: varies depending on the group. As a rule, this is not in use.

Category: not in use.

• Description: 
• Value…Value 4: these fields are usually related to the description techniques of old systems. You can ignore these fields if you are using the browser application.

Optional data

• Order no: a sequence number for settings. For example, if the values of a group are retrieved for a selection list, the values will be displayed in the order specified by the order number. For some groups, values with negative order numbers are not displayed on the selection lists.
• Availability start and end:displayed/can be modified through the group’s own admin interface if the field is in use. If data has been entered in these fields, selections with availability start or end dates in conflict with the current date (not available anymore or availability period has not yet started) will be displayed either in grey or not at all depending on the group.

Deleting text constants.

Text constants can be deleted from the list of text constants. Make sure that the text constants you delete are not used anywhere else in the application. To delete text constant, select one or more text constants from the list and choose the "Delete constant(s) with no check" action, then approve the deletion. If any of text constants are used anywhere in the application, the deletion will fail.

• Numeric value 2: if the state of a plan is changed to “ready”, the user will be asked whether the usage states of the related objects should be updated (they will be updated to a usage state with the numeric value 1 (see Usage state)

If the Numeric value 2 is not zero or NULL, the plan-related objects with the usage state “planned” will be displayed in the safe-to-dig.com service. (Objects with the usage state “in use” are always displayed in the safe-to-dig.com service, regardless of the plan’s state.) This means that it is possible to specify, for example, that objects linked to plans that are in the pre-planning phase or under planning are not displayed in the safe-to-dig.com service. If a planned object is not linked to any plans, it will be displayed in the safe-to-dig.com service.

• Text value: Locks the objects in the plan if the Maintenance state of plan objects feature is enabled. See the Maintenance state of plan objects (O&M) chapter.

Maintenance state of plan objects (O&M)

The maintenance state of the plan objects locks the objects in the plan with the state “In use” and prevents the editing of the objects (a notification is displayed to the user). Only the users in the O&M user group (OM_PLAN_ADMIN) have the right to change the state of the plan to something else than the O&M state. The O&M state is defined using the text value of the plan. See the Plan state chapter. The following objects are supported:

Note! The new layer will be available only for new designs that are created after the feature has been enabled in the system.

KeyCom text constants

Usage state

Names of groups used to define the usage state of an object end with “_STATE”.

• Numeric value: the field value is the usage state, as clarified below.

The automatic state changing in the system will only apply to the numeric values listed above. Groups using this feature include the following:

Note: Usage state must have a numeric value so that it can be used on forms to mass update items. 

• Numeric value 2:

Technology

Technology means the technology of cables and devices (such as fiber, copper and coaxial), which determine whether the objects using a certain technology can be connected to objects using a different technology.

• Numeric value: The following groups are used to define the technologies, and the table below presents the values equivalent to each technology:

Devices/cables using hybrid technology can be connected to all other devices/cables using the same technology or some other technology. Other devices/cables can only be connected to devices/cables using the same technology or having the same Numeric value.

• Numeric value 2: CABLE_TECHNOLOGY group num_value 2 indicates the voltage of the cable.

Thread type

In KeyCom’s thread details window, you can select the thread type of each thread through the THREAD_TYPE group under TXT_CONSTANTS.

• Numeric value: defines the technology.

• Numeric value 2: indicates the default attenuation (dB/km).

The uniqueness and NULL value of object identifiers

A rule for an identifier’s uniqueness and NULL value can be defined for each usage state of telecom premises, manholes, splices, poles, conduits and cables.

For telecom premises, the rule has been saved in the PREM_ID_RULE group, for manholes in the MANHOLE_ID_RULE group, for splices in the SPLICE_ID_RULE group and for cables in the CABLE_ID_RULE group (see Automatic generation of object identifiers).

• Numeric value: The actual setting has been saved in this field as an integer with three digits in the form of xyz. The functions of the digits are as follows:

x defines the object usage state to which the rule is applied. The available values are:

1 – In use

2 – Planned

3 – Discarded

y defines the uniqueness rule for the objects in the usage state in question 

1 – The uniqueness of an object identifier is not checked at all. One identifier can occur in a database table more than once.

2 – One identifier can occur in a database table more than once, but in certain sub-areas only once.

3 – One identifier can occur in a database table only once.

z defines whether or not the identifier of the usage state in question can be null.

1 – The identifier can be null. If the identifier is null, the uniqueness of an object identifier will not be checked.

2 – The identifier cannot be null.

For example, a row in the PREM_ID_RULE group with the numeric value of 122 specifies that only one object with the same identifier can be available to telecom premises within one sub-area. Empty identifiers are not permitted for objects with the usage state “In use”.

Automatic generation of object identifiers

Automatic generation of identifiers can be defined for telecom premises, manholes, splices and cables. The automatic generation of identifiers depends on the identifier’s rule for nullability (see the Uniqueness and NULL value of object identifiers).

If the rule defines that the identifier cannot be empty, an identifier will be automatically generated in accordance with the rules for the object that is to be added or updated, unless the user enters an identifier on the form.

The settings can be found in the following groups:

The rules are defined as follows:

• Numeric value: specifies whether the automatic generation of identifiers has been enabled.

• Logical text: this field contains the text that is entered for the identifier. It is entered as strings which will be replaced with the object’s actual data. Strings that will be replaced include the following:

If the string that is to be replaced is followed by $n$, in which n is a number, the identifier will include as many digits as the number specifies. For example, if the text includes the string %AREA%$3$, the identifier will include the three first digits of the sub-area.

If a %SEQ% string ends with $n$, the ending defines the minimum number of digits that will be included in the running number. if the running number has less digits than the specified value, the number will be preceded by the required number of zeros. For example, %SEQ%$4$ generates a four-digit number such as 0015.

For example, an AUTOM_IDENT_PREM group with the text %AREA%$3$_%SEQ%$4$ will generate a telecom premises identifier such as PEH_0001.

If a group includes several rows having the same Numeric value, the import will be performed by using the row with the smallest sequence number (FiberPlanIT is a service subject to a separate order).

Numeric value 2: the field specifies the cable’s default importance category if the Importance field is empty.

Numeric value 3: specifies whether the capacity theme is applied when the cable is displayed

Cable importance

The Cable form includes a Cable importance field that defines the primary cable importance. The field’s value must be between 0 (not important) and 5 (very important).

If this value has not been defined, the default importance related to the cable’s role will be used (see the Duct connection type chapter).

Extra lengths of cables

The extra length of a cable models the cable’s bends as it traverses across the terrain and inside ducts.

The extra length is defined in the KEYCOM_EXTRA_LENGTH group.

Numeric value: the extra length as a percentage of the total length of the line on the map and the included loops/coils, for example, 0.04 adds 4% to the cable’s total length.

• Logical text: the format to be used is entered into the field, for example “CIR-%ID%”, so that if an identifier is missing, one will be created automatically by using the circuit’s internal key (e.g. CIR-121314).

The following values can be used when defining an identifier:

If the Numeric value 2 of the circuit’s usage state is 1, the identifier generated through that will override this setting. See the Circuit usage purpose chapter.

Generating customer identification numbers

The KN_CUSTOMER_ID group is used to determine the automatic creation of customer numbers.

• Logical text: the format to be used is entered into the field, for example “A-%ID%”, so that if an identifier is missing, one will be created automatically by using the customer number’s internal key (e.g. A-1234).

• Numeric value: filtering connections in work orders (see Filtering the connections of a circuit work order) 

• Numeric value 2: If the value is 1, the device is a provisioning device. See the Provisioning devices chapter.
• Numeric value 3: If the value is set to 1, the abbreviation for the device types associated with the device class is displayed on the network map while the Splitters layer is enabled. If the value is 2, the abbreviation for the device types associated with the device class is displayed on the network map when the Active devices level is enabled. If the value is 3, the abbreviation for the device types associated with the device class is displayed on the network map when the Customer premises equipment level is enabled.

• Numeric value 4: active/passive device. The ID of the ACTIVE_PASSIVE group. See the Active/passive selection of device type classes chapter.
• Text value: Rows with the value 1 are displayed in the Devices list of the telecom premises annotations. If none of the affiliates of the DEVICE group has a value of 1 in the text value field, then all types of devices appear in the telecom premises annotations. The Devices list in the telecom premises annotations is only available if the setting variable KEYCOM_ENHANCED_PREM_ANNOTATIONS is on.
• Value: If the value is 1 when the KEYCOM_ENABLE_RESTRICTED_DEVICE_CLASS is enabled, the devices cannot be edited in KeyCom.

The Defining the device types chapter discusses the definition of device type classes.

Active/passive selection of device type classes

Device type classes are defined as active and passive devices. In KeyCom, this information is presented, for example, on the list of circuits on the telecom premises in the “Prem. devices” and “Other devices” columns. The active/passive classification is presented as two pieces of information: Whether the device is active or passive on the selected telecom premises, with the same information provided for other telecom premises reserved by the circuit. If the circuit reservations go through even one active device, the status for other telecom premises will be “Active”.

The active/passive selection is made in the ACTIVE_PASSIVE group as follows:

• Order no: 1 or 2
• Numeric value: 1 stands for an active device and 2 stands for a passive device

Other values cannot be used.
