Overview
Engineering drawings, inspection reports, permits, maintenance records, relay settings files, and as-built documents are the institutional memory of your grid. When documentation is scattered across shared drives, email inboxes, and disconnected project tools, the cost is invisible but constant: engineers spend hours searching for drawings, field crews work from outdated procedures, and regulatory audits require weeks of frantic document gathering. Power-View implements a structured workflow where every file lives on the map, linked to the specific asset or project it describes.
The most dangerous document control failure in utility operations is not a missing file — it is an outdated file that nobody knows is outdated. A field crew accessing last year's single-line diagram for a substation reconfigured six months ago is making safety decisions from wrong information. Power-View prevents this by making version control structural: only approved current documents appear in the active library, superseded versions archive automatically, and when a crew member opens a substation drawing from their phone in the field they always receive the current approved version.
