When I look at ArcFM System Tables in ArcCatalog, why do some tables have the word “system” in their names, and some do not?
1. The ArcFM System Tables that have the word “system” in their names store settings and configurations that apply to all users. In other words, they store “system-wide” settings. The ArcFM System Tables that do not have the word “system” in their names store user-specific settings and configurations. For example, the table MM_SYSTEM_STORED_DISPLAYS contains the Stored Displays available to all users. These are typically created by an administrator. The table MM_STORED_DISPLAYS contains the Stored Displays created by individual users. These are only available to the user that created them (not system wide). All companies have system-wide Stored Displays, and some companies choose to allow their users to create their own Stored Displays or choose to block user Stored Displays.

I know I can find my product version by either clicking About ArcFM Solution or going to Help > About ArcFM Solution. But, how can I find out my current database version?
1. In the Catalog Tree, right-click the database and choose ArcFM Database Version. You can also add this tool to any toolbar by clicking the Customize Menu > Customize Mode).
