View TV Observations

TV observation information can be displayed in ArcMap using the View TV Observation tool.  This tool will create and display a shapefile of TV observation points.

2. Click OK. A processing status bar will appear in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.  You can stop processing at any time by clicking the Cancel button on the View TV Observations dialog (pictured above).
3. When processing is complete the shapefile will be added to the map.  Observations are displayed in the map using a symbol placed along the pipe.  The color of the symbol represents the type of defect; the size of the symbol corresponds to the severity or rating of the defect.  A legend defining these symbols appears in the Table of Contents dockable window.

   

   Notes: If a pipe had been inspected on 4/8/2000, 10/31/2002, 4/31/2004, and 4/9/2004 is entered as the max inspection date, only the observations associated with the 10/31/2002 inspection would be added to the shapefile.
