Color Assets by an Attribute

This feature is brand new, so the information below is meant to give a brief overview. Expect more details in the future.

Written by Jonathan Heilman

An often-requested feature is the ability to change the color of assets on the map based on an attribute of the asset. For example, in a sanitary sewer system, coloring the gravity system a different color than force mains.

Another example is to color the stormwater BMPs based on ownership. One color for those that are owned or managed by the municipality and a different color for those privately owned.

Over the past several weeks, we've added this ability to change the map colors. You can now color any asset based on these fields:

  • Owner

  • Material

  • Pipe diameter

  • Sanitary sewer classification (gravity vs. force)

To begin exploring this new feature, start by clicking on any asset icon. Then click the Gear in the lower right-hand corner.

Style By Owner

Choose the Custom Style and then Style by Owner.

Create a separate color for each Owner value.

Style by Material

Choose the Custom Style and then Style by Material.

Create a separate color for each material type.

Style by Diameter

Choose the Custom style and then Style By Diameter

The style rules are used to create a range of pipe diameters that are grouped together with a color. In the screenshot below. All pipes with a diameter of 0-2" are colored pink. Pipes with a diameter of 2.1 to 8" are colored blue. All other values, including blanks, are colored green.

Style by Sanitary Sewer Classification

Choose the Custom Style and then Style by Classification.

Create a separate color for each sewer classification.

Give it a try and let us know what you think. We'll keep you updated as we add more options to this new feature.
