Protected Segment Functionality
Overview
Segments represent underground or aerial fiber paths displayed on the Google Map. The protected status of a segment determines whether its shape (geometry) can be modified. This page explains the protection statuses, the new Override Protected Segment Shape feature, and how the system handles shape modifications.
Protection Statuses
Each segment has one of the following protection statuses:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Unprotected | Segment can be freely edited. |
| Ready to Protect | Segment has been modified and is pending revalidation before being locked again. |
| Protected | Segment shape is locked and cannot be modified. |
| No Protection Needed | Segment does not require any protection validation. |
Override Protected Segment Shape
Purpose
Allows controlled modifications to a Protected segment’s shape when minor adjustments are needed (for example, correcting a slight offset or aligning with a new road line).
Button
Button label: Override Protected Segment Shape
[[File:Override_protectedStatus_button.png|thumb|Button: Override Protected Segment Shape]]
How It Works
- When the button is clicked, a visual buffer zone appears around the protected segment.
This buffer defines the allowable area for shape adjustments.
- If the user reshapes the segment and all points remain inside the buffer:
- The segment stays Protected.
- The changes are saved.
- If any point of the modified shape goes outside the buffer:
- The system displays a warning message:
Protection Override Tool: Saving will mark as Ready to Protect.
- If the user saves, the status automatically changes from Protected → Ready to Protect.
Summary of Behavior
| Action | Within Buffer | Outside Buffer |
|---|---|---|
| Shape edited | Allowed | Allowed |
| Visual warning | No | Yes (Saving will mark as Ready to Protect) |
| Resulting status after save | Protected | Ready to Protect |
Intended Use
This tool is designed for minor route adjustments only. Larger geometry changes should be performed on unprotected segments or after manually setting the segment back to Unprotected.
