Subset Manager

A Subset is a group of filtered records that a user saves in one module in order to use or view later in related modules. The Subset Manager tool gives users the ability to:

Example: A user creates a subset consisting of all pipes inspected before Nov. 20, 2002, in the Sewer Television Inspection module. That subset can be viewed in both the Television Inspection and Pipe Inventory modules, because the subset contains information pertaining to both modules. Unlike a filter, the records included in a subset don't change based on data changes within a module; the subset changes only if a user manually modifies the list of records in the subset.

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the assets to include in the subset. Or, skip and go to Step 2.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager form appears:
Choose an Infrastructure Type from the drop-down list and click Create.
Note: Only Infrastructure Types that are currently represented in the map appear in the list.
If you selected assets before running the tool, skip to Step 9.
If you did not select assets before running the tool, the following prompt appears:
Click Yes.
Select the desired assets. The order in which the assets are selected is the order they will appear in the subset.
When finished, press F2 on the keyboard.
- The Subset Manager displays the total number of features that will be included in the subset.
Enter a New Subset Name and click OK.
When the subset is created, a prompt similar to the following appears:

If assets were selected before running the subset tool, they will be added to the subset in the order they appear in the grid.
If assets are selected through the subset tool, they will be added to the subset in the order they were selected.

To load an inventory subset, select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager appears:
Choose an Infrastructure Type from the drop-down list and click Load.
Note: Only Infrastructure Types that are currently represented in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager lists Existing Subsets for the selected module. Select a subset from the list and click OK.
Once the loading process is complete, a message appears indicating the number of features that the system found.
Click OK. The map will then highlight and zoom to the selected subset.

To load an Address subset, select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager appears:
Select Address Subset and click Load.
The Subset Manager displays a list of Existing Subsets for the selected module.
Select a subset from the list and click OK.
When the loading process is complete, a message appears to indicate the number of features that the system found.
Click OK. The map will then highlight and zoom to the selected Addresses.
Note: A geolocator must be loaded into the map to load an Address subset.

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the Assets you wish to add to an existing subset.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager appears:
Choose an Infrastructure Type from the drop-down list and click Add To Existing.
Note: Only Infrastructure Types that are currently represented in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager displays a list of Existing Subsets for the selected module and confirms the total number of features that are selected.
Select an Existing Subset and click OK.
When subset has been created, a prompt similar to the following appears:

Note: If a selected Asset is already in the subset, the system will not add that Asset again.

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the Assets you wish to remove from an existing subset.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager appears:
Choose an Infrastructure Type from the drop-down list and click Remove From Existing.
Note: Only Infrastructure Types that are currently represented in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager displays a list of Existing Subsets and confirms the total number of features selected in the map.
Select an Existing Subset and click OK.
When the subset is complete, a prompt similar to the following will appear:

Inventory Subset/Address Subset	Identifies the type of subset to load. Inventory subsets contain groups of assets; Address subsets plot address points.
Infrastructure Type	Indicates the type of asset from which this subset is drawn. This field is active only if the Inventory subset is selected above. The pick-list only includes Asset Types that are currently in the map.
Load	Loads a saved subset of records.
Create	Creates a new subset from the records (of the chosen Infrastructure Type) that are currently selected in the map.
Add To Existing	Adds the records (of the chosen Infrastructure Type) that are currently selected in the map to an existing subset.
Remove From Existing	Removes the records (of the chosen Infrastructure Type) that are currently selected in the map from an existing subset.
Existing Subsets	Lists the saved subsets available for use with the Load, Add to Existing, and Remove from Existing tools.
Number of Selected Features in Map	Displays the number of the feature selected as the Infrastructure Type.
New Subset Name	Identifies a newly created subset.
