Enhance Feeder Manager 2.0

Your organization might have chosen to enhance Feeder Manager 2.0 by providing the ability to identify the subsource of the network when Feeder Manager 1.0 is configured. If this is the case, you can utilize this enhancement by performing the steps below in ArcMap.

Open the ArcMap Customize dialog (Customize > Customize Mode…).
Select the Commands tab.
Open a file browser by clicking the Add From File button at the bottom of the dialog.
Search for InitSubfeederName in the Commands search box.
Add the command to the toolbar of your choice.

TIP:

The tool requires an edit workspace connection, therefore ArcMap must be in an edit session.
You should commit pending changes before starting.
After running the add-in, save the edit session to commit the changes.

Prior to initialization, Feeder Count, Feeder Name, and Feature Class details are not populated.

Once initialized, those fields are populated with the current state of processing.

The Check/Uncheck All button is always enabled. Clicking this button checks/unchecks all the feeders in the feeder list.
The Start button prompts the initialization process on the selected feeders. During processing, the Start button remains disabled. Once the process is complete, a dialog appears that provides elapsed time information.
The window is resizable and can be moved horizontally/vertically.
When there is a large number of feeders that extend beyond the default window size, a scroll bar appears toward the bottom right of the window.

When you click the InitSubfeederName add-in, a dialog opens with a list of all feeders in the database. You can then select the feeders to be initialized. When you click the Start button, the selected feeders begin initializing, and the SubfeederName field is populated on the electric network features.
