Start with the reachable path. If you just need a configuration to get going, the self-serve option you can open today is Configuration Manager's "Create Configuration," described in Building a configuration without Katapult, in the Configuration article. It builds a standard starter set of templates in one step. The KML wizard below is a more advanced path that is not yet surfaced in the portal, so ask Cloneable before you plan around it.
There is a second self-serve way to build a configuration that does not involve Katapult and does not require Cloneable to hand-build your templates for you. If you already have a geospatial file that describes your network (for example a KML, KMZ, or GeoJSON export from a DDS system), an org admin can turn that file directly into a reusable configuration.
The tool works as a short guided wizard:
Upload the file. The wizard reads the kinds of features inside it and shows you those feature types so you can see what it found.
For each type, assign a role that Cloneable understands (pole, span, guy anchor, span measurement, or a custom point, a custom line, or a polyline). Any type you do not want to bring over, mark as "Skip" so it is left out.
For each type you keep, choose which of the file's attributes become fields on the template. Where the file has repeated values, the tool can offer them as dropdown options.
Adjust the map icon for each template and set the measurement units.
Give the configuration a name and create it.
The result is a full set of data-object templates plus the configuration itself, saved to your org and ready to use, without hand-building templates or waiting on Cloneable.
One important caveat: this wizard is available but is not yet surfaced anywhere in the portal. There is no menu item or button that links to it today, so it is reached only by its direct address, and from inside the tool the only outward link goes to the separate job-level KML importer, not the other way around. If you want to use it, ask Cloneable to point you to it rather than hunting for it in the interface.
This is different from the two other paths you may already know. Configuration Manager's "Create Configuration," described in the Configuration article, builds a standard starter set (pole, span, span-measurement, and guy-anchor templates, the pole and guy-wire workflows, and the relationships between them) rather than deriving templates from your own file. Importing a KML at the job level is different again: it maps a file onto a job that already has a configuration instead of creating a new configuration from it.
