An introduction to NaviGate
The NaviGate system is an application framework for delivering a unified, web-based, map-based view of utility enterprise data to the people who need that information, anytime, anywhere. NaviGate acts as a portal to your existing systems, powerfully integrating and displaying data from customer information, outage management, mapping, work management, SCADA, and other internal systems. NaviGate will also use data from external sources such as "Call Before You Dig", utility vehicle locations, weather, lightning, and many others. And NaviGate is built to effectively provide the same capabilities in the office and in the field, using modern commodity cellular technologies.

NaviGate Advanced Viewing Module
Maps of complex infrastructure such as electrical or water networks can be quite intricate, involving many overlapping and intersecting objects. The Core NaviGate system allows users to turn on and off entire layers to simplify maps, but that addresses only one dimension of the problem. The NaviGate Advanced Viewing Module can dramatically improve the readability of the maps for a particular purpose by filtering the data based on the data in the NaviGate database.

NaviGate Buffering Module
Buffering is the process of spatially identifying one set of objects that are near to another, such as parcels near a new shopping center or fire hydrants near a school. The NaviGate Buffering Module allows users to create, edit, and manage lists of buffered objects from within NaviGate. Lists of buffered objects can be used to generate mail-merged documents such as parcel owner notification letters.

NaviGate Dispatch Module
The NaviGate Dispatch Module provides a flexible but simple interface for viewing and managing the workload of field personnel. The Module focuses on two lists: the list of field personnel currently available and the list of work orders for a single day. Both lists are managed together, and also viewed in a map user interface.

NaviGate Document Manager Module
Construction and maintenance personnel need field access to current electronic drawings. Most utilities still satisfy this need by printing out "map books" and taking paper maps into the field. The NaviGate Document Manager Module is a NaviGate extension that maintains a complete and current set of engineering drawings and related documents on mobile laptop or tablet computers, utilizing the web-based NaviGate platform to distribute the files.

NaviGate Field Data Entry Module
The standard NaviGate system provides a primarily read-only interface for viewing Enterprise data. The NaviGate Field Data Entry Module (FDE) extends and enhances NaviGate by providing a mechanism for updating transactional data (work orders, inspection orders, service requests, etc.) or facility attribute data (pole inspections, transformer inspections, valve surveys) in the field. The Field Data Entry Module uses the NaviGate Field Option to display maps in the field. FDE provides a Supervisor interface to allow suitably-authorized users to assign work orders or other tasks to field personnel using a graphical, spatial user interface. FDE also allows you to produce paper copies of your inspections or work orders, either in the office or in the field

NaviGate Field Option
The standard NaviGate system is designed around office use, and presumes a modestly fast Internet connection and large display screen. The NaviGate Field Option provides a new customized user interface optimized for use on generally slower wireless-connected mobile computing devices where the user interface is smaller and likely to be pen-based rather than mouse-based. The Field Option also provides extensive support for taking data into the field via wireless connections or utilizing a synchronize-and-go disconnected mode of operation.

NaviGate Mobile Work Order System
The NaviGate Mobile Work Orders System (MWO) allows mobile field personnel to take enterprise transactional data such as work orders, inspection orders, and service orders into the field via wireless connections or using a load-and-go approach. MWO can connect to any existing Work Management System (WMS) and uses any commodity wireless TCP/IP connection. MWO displays work orders on a mobile laptop or tablet computer, allows the field personnel to update the data, and then transmits the updated information back to the MWO server for insert into the WMS. The system also integrates closely with several Gatekeeper Systems NaviGate modules, including the Dispatch Module.

NaviGate Redlining Module
The NaviGate Redlining Module allows end users to “redline“ or place markup directly on top of a NaviGate map. The objects drawn are stored in the NaviGate database, and are immediately available to other users of the Redlining Module and to other NaviGate users in general. Markup can be edited again later, printed, or deleted by a drafter who has later incorporated the data into the base GIS data set. All markup is stored in the NaviGate relational database (usually in Oracle) and may be used (or even modified) by other business applications.
