The View Work Frequency button allows users to view how often work is happening or has happened in the map. This tool is effective for any work order that has an address, an X and Y Coordinate (Location tab in Work Orders), or assets assigned to the work order in the Assets tab.
To use this command, click on the View Work Frequency tool.
This tool requires an address located to be loaded in the map. It uses the active locater if more than one locater is in the map. If the active locater is a composite locater you will receive the following prompt:
The following dialog will appear:
Select either a date range or saved filter:
To select a date range, check the Use Date checkbox. Then, select a start and end date from the drop-down calendars.
To use a previously saved filter, mark the Use Filter checkbox. Then, select a filter from the list on the right.
The First and Second Grouping fields are optional. This option will group the results based upon the field(s) selected.
The X/Y Buffer is also optional. This is used when there are multiple work orders for a single X/Y coordinate. With the buffer in place, the system will increase the work order frequency instead of drawing additional points at the same X/Y coordinate. The type of units are determined by the map's settings. These may be feet, degrees, meters, etc.
By default the "Do not plot addresses for work orders with assets in the asset grid" is checked. If the box is unchecked, then results will contain the locations of both the work order assets and work order locations.
Click OK and the system will display the work order frequency that meets the selected criteria. While the system is processing, there will be a progress bar in the lower left-hand corner of the map.
Once the processing is finished, a grouped layer will be added to ArcMap containing three layers. The table of contents will show work order frequency for point, line, polygon features. The symbology for these layers has graduated sizing and color based on frequency. To change the way the frequency is displayed, right click on the layer and go to the symbology tab.
In some cases, the tool may have been unable to map the location of a work order. Look in the work frequency layer's attribute table to determine whether a feature was found in the map by viewing the InMap field. A value of 1 indicates the feature was found, a value of 0 if it was unable to be located in the map.
