Associate a Feature with a Linear AssetAssociate a Feature with a Linear AssetYou use the Features tab in the Assets (SP) application to associate features with linear assets. For example, on a road you can associate mileposts, guard rails, pavement type, speed limit signs, and many other objects and properties.
Before you can associate a feature with a linear asset, you must first create the feature in the Features application. You can associate a feature multiple times with a linear asset. Each association is a feature instance.
In the Assets (SP) application, display the record of the linear asset for which you want to associate a feature.
Click the Features tab.
In the Features table window, click New Row.
In the Feature field, enter a feature or click
Detail Menu 
to select an option and retrieve a value.
In the Label field, enter a label if the feature name and measures are insufficient to identify the feature instance. You must use labels in the following situations:
When multiple instances of the same asset feature reside at the exact same measures. The labels allow you to differentiate between the asset features.
When you plan to use the feature as a start or end reference point to locate work. Reference points must be identifiable by maintenance workers in the field. A label can be, for example, the visible text on a sign, or a well known point of interest, such as a named hill top. It can also be a relationship with another asset or location, such as an intersection or rest area.
When you want to do work "on" the feature. The feature must be identifiable in the field, which requires some form of visible label.
If the feature has been classified, the Classification field displays the classification. The Class Description fields display the class description.
Select the Share With Related Assets check box if you want the feature to be visible on related linear assets when the relationship span includes the location of this feature instance.
For example, a mile post might be located between two linear assets and you want the feature to appear on both linear asset records. You use the Relationships application to define relationships between linear assets. This option is only useful for parallel linear assets that share the same measures, for example, multiple parallel tracks on a railway.
Select the Is Reference Point check box if you want to use this feature instance as a reference point, for example, to identify work locations.
For example, a mile post is typically used as a reference point. Some features, however, are not suitable as reference points. For example, you can use pavement as a feature that spans the length of a road, but you would not use it as a reference point.
In the Linear Segment Details section, enter measures and offsets as needed to identify the location of the feature instance.
The Attributes table window displays the attributes associated with the classification for this feature. You can add values and measures to these attributes. To add additional attributes, click New Row.
