Important Information
Named users have changed from UNE 8.5
There are now 3 different user types available in UNE. Builder (ability to create new and edit existing applications), Editor (edit data within UNE applications), and Viewer (access, view, and trace data within UNE applications). Pre-existing licence files will still work as normal in 8.5, but when renewing licences can now be split into the above model.
Subtype Group Layers
Any UNE 8.4 or older applications will not be using Subtype group Layers in the Webmap or application. Any imported UNE 8.4 application will use the regular configuration of grouped layers. To use Subtype Group Layers you will need to make a new 8.5 UNE app and re-build your UNE application. Any new 8.5 app create will use Subtype Group layers as default.
Known Issue: Phantom Points
There is a known issue with this release of UNE 8.5 where certain configurations may cause “phantom” point features to appear on the map. These visual artefacts cannot be interacted with and have zero effect on your data. A fix is being developed and will be released shortly.
Known Issue: Web Map File Size Ballooning
There is a known bug within ArcGIS Pro and Portal when opening a UNE Webmap in Pro and making changes to symbology, causes issues with saving said Webmap containing Utility Network Layers back to ArcGIS Portal due to duplication of UN templates and resultant Webmap file size ballooning. A workaround has been identified so if you experience this problem please contact technical support.
