Subset Manager

The Subset Manager tool gives users the ability to load, create, add features to an existing subset or remove features from an existing subset. Using subsets allows users to quickly save a static group of filtered records from one module and use or view that set in in related modules. For example, if a subset is created in the Sewer Television Inspection module of all pipes inspected prior to November 20, 2002, the subset can be viewed in both Television Inspection and Pipe Inventory because the subset contains information pertaining to both modules. Unlike a filter a subset doesn't change based on data changes within a module it only changes if a user manually modifies the list of records in the subset.

How To

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the assets to include in the subset.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager form will appear:
Choose the infrastructure type from the drop down list and click Create.
Note: Only infrastructure types that are currently in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager form will display the total number of features that will be included in the subset.
Enter a New Subset Name and click OK.
When the subset creation process has completed a prompt similar to the following will appear:

To load an inventory subset, select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager will appear:
Choose the infrastructure type from the drop down list and click Load.
Note: Only infrastructure types that are currently in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager form will show a list of existing subsets for the selected module.
Select a subset from the list and click OK.
Once the loading process has finished a dialog similar to the following will appear indicating the number of features 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 will appear:
Select Address Subset and click Load.
The Subset Manager form will show a list of existing subsets for the selected module.
Select a subset from the list and click OK.
Once the loading process has finished a dialog similar to the following will appear indicating the number of features found.
Click OK. The map will then highlight and zoom to the selected addresses.
Note: for this to work a geo locater must be loaded into the map.

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the assets to add to an existing subset.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager will appear:
Choose the infrastructure type from the drop down list and click Add To Existing.
Note: Only infrastructure types that are currently in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager form will show a list of existing subsets for the selected module and confirm the total number of features that are selected.
Select an existing subset and click OK.
When the subset creation process has completed a prompt similar to the following will appear:

Note: If a selected asset is already in the subset it will not be added again.

Using the ESRI selection tool, select the assets that should be removed from an existing subset.
Select the Subset tool . The Subset Manager will appear:
Choose the infrastructure type from the drop down list and click Remove From Existing.
Note: Only infrastructure types that are currently in the map will appear in the list.
The Subset Manager form will show a list of existing subsets and confirm the total number of features selected in the map.
Select an existing subset and click OK.
When the subset creation process has completed a prompt similar to the following will appear:
