The query summation report can be used in conjunction with database queries.
00:08
DB queries to determine and evaluate the different attributes
00:12
associated with the info water pro data elements.
00:16
Those elements include junctions, tanks, reservoirs, pumps,
00:20
valves and pipes that satisfy the DB query.
00:25
The report groups elements according to values in a specified field
00:29
within each group.
00:30
The values of another field are summed such
00:32
as length of pipe for each diameter value.
00:36
In this exercise,
00:37
you use a query summation report
00:39
to summarize pipe roughness and diameter information
00:43
to begin
00:44
double click the desired project dot APR file to open argi

pro.
00:50
Once the project starts,
00:51
click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon
00:56
in the project panel. Click initialize
01:01
in the model explorer on the command center tab,
01:03
expand the tools folder and then double click query summation report.
01:09
A DB query must be used to start a query summation report in
01:12
this exercise. The report includes all pipes.
01:16
Therefore, a query must be created to select all pipes
01:20
in the query summation dialogue.
01:22
Click the ID browse button to open the DB query dialogue
01:27
in the DB query toolbar, click new
01:30
and then in the pop-up, enter a new id of all underscore pipes and then click OK.
01:36
In the select element type dialogue,
01:38
choose an element type of pipe and then click OK.
01:43
Back in the DB query dialogue, click the query builder icon
01:48
in the query builder, click the link tab
01:51
under data field, select ID,
01:55
then select the operator.
01:58
This is the exclude operator
02:01
in the text field under the operators. Enter 9999
02:05
Q Q Q Q
02:09
This is a random value chosen to select all pipes when running the query
02:14
because no pipes have this id.
02:16
By excluding it, all the pipes are selected in the query.
02:20
Click, add,
02:23
click validate and then OK, if the query is valid,
02:27
click, OK, to close the query builder and OK, again to close the DB query window
02:34
back in the query summation window set the summary field to pipe hide length
02:41
and the summary class field to pipe hide diameter.
02:45
Now the software will sum the pipe lengths that fall under each diameter type.
02:49
So you will see the total length of pipes that are under each unique diameter.
02:55
Click. OK? To create the report in graphs.
02:58
If a warning message appears, click, yes. To continue
03:03
in the report manager, you can view the results as a report Barch chart or pie chart.
03:09
The options to format these charts are the same as those
03:12
to format graphs in the report manager for any report.
03:16
If you ran this report to find out which pipe
03:18
diameter has the most total length in the model.
03:21
You can see that the six inch pipes have the most
03:27
click settings to return to the query summation window.
03:31
In the summary class field, select pipe hide roughness and click. Ok.
03:35
To create this report.
03:38
If a warning message appears, click yes. To continue
03:42
from this report, you can see that a roughness value of 110 is used in the model.
03:47
Click. Hide to close the report manager.

The Query Summation Report can be used in conjunction with Database Queries (DB queries) to determine and evaluate the different attributes associated with the InfoWater Pro data elements. Those elements include junctions, tanks, reservoirs, pumps, valves, and pipes that satisfy the DB query. The report groups elements according to values in a specified field. Within each group, the values of another field are summed, such as length of pipe for each diameter value.
A DB query must be used to start a Query Summation Report. In this tutorial, the report includes all pipes. Therefore, a query must be created to select all pipes.
Note: This is a random value chosen to select all pipes when running the query. Because no pipes have this ID, by excluding it, all the pipes are selected in the query.
The software will sum the pipe lengths that fall under each diameter type. So, you will see the total length of pipes that are under each unique diameter.
In the Report Manager, you can view the results as a Report, Bar Chart, or Pie Chart. The options to format these charts are the same as those to format graphs in the Report Manager for any report.
If you ran this report to find out which pipe diameter has the most total length in the model, you can see that the 6" pipes have the most:
