View TV Observations

TV Observation information can be displayed in ArcMap using the View TV Observations tool. This tool creates and displays a shapefile of TV Observation points that display the type, severity and location of the observation. Each observation also has a hyperlink to related images. The hyperlinked information can be access with the ESRI hyperlink tool.



Select an inspection type	Select which module the inspection observations are stored in.
Select a max inspection date	This tool displays the observations for the most recent inspections for each pipe based on the date. Select a max date to limit the date range of the inspection shown. For example if a user selects 9/24/2010 the tool will only display observations for inspections that occurred before 9/24/2010.
Select a search criteria option	This allows users to limit the number of pipes the tool is run against. They can run the tool against all sewer pipes, those currently selected in the map, or filters saved in lucity in the Pipe Inventory, and TV Inspection modules. This is useful for only viewing observations for pipes that are in a certain area, or are made of a certain type of material.

How To

View TV Observations

Click the View TV Observations tool in the Lucity GIS toolbar. The following dialog will appear:
Select an inspection type, specify a max inspection date, and select a search criteria option
- All Sewer Pipes- Use this option to view the results for the entire sewer pipe inventory
- Currently Selected Pipes in the Map- This option will only be enabled if there are multiple sewer pipes selected in the map. Use this option to view the results for only the selected pipes.
- Pipe Inventory Filter- Use this option to view the results only for those pipes that meet the selected filter criteria.
- TV Inspection Filter- Use this option to view the results only for those pipes that meet the selected filter criteria.
If either the Pipe Inventory or TV Inspection Filter option are chosen the View TV Observation form will expand allowing users to select an existing filter
Click OK to proceed. A processing status bar will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
When processing is complete the temporary feature class 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.
If any of the defects have associated images/documents the ESRI hyperlink tool will become enabled. Use this tool to click on a defect location and the associated image/document will open directly from ArcMap.

Note: There is a field in the temporary feature class that indicates if there are any associated documents.
