After selection you can ‘check’ the validity of the kml against the selected OFCable. The
following parameters will be checked.
1. Both end functional units are stored or not in GIS database.
2. Is it a single unit maintained cable or partial cable.
3. OFCNet rkm and kml length are matching or not.
4. Whether kml end points are within 25m from their respective functional units or not.
Here, as we selected wrong cable its showing corresponding issues.

If the given kml and the selected OFCable matches, you can get an alert as shown above. It
shows all checks are performed and all are within limits, and the kml is ready to upload.

Now, you can see the ‘Save’ button next to the ‘Check’ button, by which you can upload the
given kml to GIS database.
Once the cable is saved in the GIS database, you can see the acknowledgement as ‘Cable
uploaded successfully’ as shown in the point 2.

Note: If a cable is maintained by two subdivisions, then concern people only able to upload
their partial cables.
