ArcFM Editor XI – Using Guide

Find Subnetwork

The Find Subnetwork tool was designed to offer users an interface for searching and accessing data about feeders of interest. The Stats tab in the tool picks up information based on the summaries configured by the administrator. The Tie-Devices tab is only available in electric projects and offers editors access to their tie-devices from any extent.

  1. Click the ArcFM tab within Pro.
  2. Look for the Network Management group. Within the Find Subnetwork text box, type the name of a feeder that exists anywhere in the entire extent. In the example below, we’re looking for the subnetwork named GR-808.
    NOTE: When dealing with a large number of subnetworks, filtered results do not display until there are 100 or fewer subnetworks in the results list. Continue typing until the number of subnetworks decreases to view filtered results.

If you click on the tie-device in the map, a pop-up appears where you can inspect the attributes of this switch. You can see that this tie-device is shared between the GR-808 and GR-909 subnetworks.
