Guidelines and Best Practices
The following list provides guidelines and best practices to follow when gathering your Building List data for configuration and import into “The Connected World”:
Download a sample file from My Buildings to create an initial Building List import document.
Provide both OCN and ICSC attributes, if available, for configuration.
Identify all building types/categories. If building category is left unidentified, TCW will provide the building category based on Connectbase proprietary market data. If there is no match, it will default to Commercial Building.
A single building can have multiple categories, however, they must each be separated by a comma with no spaces in between.
Identify OnNet and Near Net buildings.
Determine the install intervals for OnNet and Near Net Ethernet and/or Wavelength-enabled buildings.
Identify the products you offer from each building or across your network.
When entering building addresses, use a leading capital letter followed by trailing lowercase characters.
Verify that address directions are properly formatted. For example, 100 W Main St versus 100 Main St W.
Assure that directional addresses include a latitude and longitude as appropriate to wireless towers that are not USPS addressable locations.
While not required, it is recommended that you provide latitude and longitude data whenever possible to avoid addresses that cannot be geocoded, especially for wireless towers.
Verify that you have documented all required data elements according to your application.
For specific distribution format requirements, refer to the appropriate Distribution Format Reference Guide.
Upon request, Connectbase can create custom text-based fields to be populated into your building list. Contact Customer Support for details.
If sending or receiving lists via Network Radar, inform Connectbase if you have included required custom (non-standard) fields.
Working with My Locations
The Function provides you with a listing of the locations/buildings that are currently in your customer instance. From a location perspective, everything that you can visualize on the map is managed and loaded from .
When you click the 
sign to the left of a building, the core building record displays where you can view the basic building information, as well as Building Manager information, Building Intelligence (tenant data), and Network Intelligence (carrier data).
Note
Some of the data options described above may not be available in your viewing area. Your view of data is dependent on the modules purchased as well as your defined user access privileges.
When you click the on the navigation bar, the My Locations page displays as shown in the sample screen below.
 |
Customizing your view
Within My Locations, My Routes, and Quoting, you can customize your view of grid data and save the view for future use.
Managing your grid data enables you to:
Acting on a location(s)
Use the 
Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) to perform actions on a selected address(es). Some actions on the menu are unavailable (dimmed) until you have selected an address or addresses to act on.
To act on all addresses in the building list, select the checkbox that displays at the top of the list to select all locations in the list.
Note
Administrator privileges are required to perform Export Selected and Export All functions. Edit User privileges (or greater) are required to perform the Import function

Data Dictionary Elements
The data elements needed to populate the Building List for successful import are group in three main sections: Required elements, Required based on special considerations, and Optional Elements.
About My Routes
The “My Routes” function is for uploading, adding, and editing routes. Routes are the physical fiber routes that you have loaded into your entity.
There are three types of routes:
Instance routes – These are company-level routes, and anyone who has access to the instance can view them.
Saved routes – These routes are your personal routes that you create or upload and are only visible to you.
Published routes – These routes are any of your saved routes that you choose to publish so that other users of your instance can also view them, but they cannot edit them.
Note
In addition to (or instead of) using the My Routes function to manage your routes, you can use the My Layers function to create your own hierarchical folder structure and upload route files to better organize and maintain data that is specific to your needs and business role. See “Working with My Layers” for details.
Click on navigation bar to access My Routes.
Result: This displays list of existing routes in your instance as shown in the below example:

If you want others in the instance to view your Saved Route, click the toggle.
Result: The Publish Route toggle changes to blue to indicate selection.
From the My Routes page, you can manage your view of route data in the same way that you can for My Locations.
About My Layers
The My Layers module enables you to create your own hierarchical folder structure and upload data sets (Links, Points, Addresses, Lat/Longs), enabling you to better organize and maintain the data you need for your specific business role.
My Layers enables you to perform these functions:
Create/name/rename/delete folders for layer data
Nest folders
Enable folders (and child folders) to view data in TCW
Select marker type for points and color for routes and boundaries
Supported file types include the following: KML, KMZ, GEOJSON, CSV, SHAPE.*
Lat/Long CSV file should have longitude, latitude columns*
Address CSV file should have Address, City, State columns (Zipcode optional)*.
Shape/Boundary file as zip format (must have .SHP, .SHX and .DXF files) files.
Asterisk * in the import file format indicates a requirement.
Within My Layers, there are three types of data layers available for viewing:
– Data that is supplied by Connectbase
– Data that is shared by another user within your instance and is thereby viewable to all users of the instance
– Data that is viewable only to you unless you choose to share it with the other users of the instance. Prior to sharing layers to a user group, the user group must have been preconfigured in . Refer to Configuring User Groups for details about how to configure User Groups.
Managing data layers effectively is crucial for maintaining accurate network and service boundaries. This guide covers best practices for data cleaning and labeling. Following these guidelines helps to minimize errors and keep information standardized across internal and customer-facing environments.
Step by Step Guide
Geometry cleanup is about ensuring that the data representing network routes or boundary is clean and accurate. This process includes:
Make sure that there are no duplicate routes or unnecessary details that could confuse users.
Confirm that data aligns with the geography to provide accurate representation.
Maintaining consistent and clear naming conventions for network routes and service boundaries.
: Ensure that the provider name is clearly visible in the label for easy identification.

FAQs
Data cleaning refers to the process of removing unnecessary or duplicate data from a network route or service boundary file. It includes verifying serviceability accuracy, simplifying geometry where needed, and making sure only relevant and up-to-date information is included. This ensures that the data is easy to use, navigate, and integrate with other layers.
Including the provider name in the label makes it easier for users to identify service provider and quickly assess the data source for a particular route. This transparency reduces ambiguity, especially when multiple layers are turned on in My Layer, and ensures that users have all the relevant context at a glance.

About My Accounts
My Accounts enables you to view and save all businesses that are included in your company’s footprint. You can also view or add tags that you associate with specific locations and businesses.
Market Explorer is built on the concept of “My Accounts”, which provides a user-centric view specific to the individual’s user account and preferences. Whereas Market Explorer is enabled at the company level, My Accounts is enabled at the user level.
Accounts can be either Enterprise or Wholesale, depending upon the individual user’s entitlements.
Note
To view this feature within The Connected World, the My Accounts feature must be turned on within your user profile. If you do not see the My Accounts tab, but have subscribed to this feature, please contact your account administrator for assistance.
About List Manager
The Distributions function within The Connected World enables you to share your building lists, route lists, and pricing lists with partner carriers. Because a single carrier cannot support all connections, it is common practice to partner with other carriers to provide connections to some customer locations.
The Connected World lets you build, manage, and distribute up-to-date, accurate building lists, routes lists, and/or pricing lists in a consistent format, either on demand or on a defined schedule, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Furthermore, you can distribute all information associated with a defined list or you can choose a specific configuration that you want to send.
This section provides basic instructions about how to create contacts, create a building/route/pricing list, create a distribution list, and define automated building list distributions per your preferred schedule.
If you require technical assistance or wish to report an issue to the Connectbase Support team, please log into the Connectbase Customer Support Desk Portal at https://support.connectbase.com and submit a support ticket.
Below are the steps that you follow to create, manage, and distribute a building, pricing and/or route list.
If you need to modify an existing distribution, List Manager enables you to modify configurations for existing lists within the Building Lists, Contact Manager, and Distribution menus under List Manager.
Tip
If a user previously set up a building list distribution that is still active, but the user is no longer part of your company’s instance, the user cannot be deleted until the active distributions are associated with another account.
