How to Add a Flexible Feature

The steps in this topic provide a general outline of how to add a flexible feature to the dataset containing the fiber features. The order of the steps was determined by the combination of which object, (e.g., geodatabase, data set, or feature) you need to select and which tool (e.g., Properties, Create Network Features, or ArcFM Properties Manager) you need to use.

Before following these steps, Schneider Electric recommends that you confirm that all the prerequisites are met (Before You Begin) and decide which settings the feature needs.

A feature may be composed of several settings, and it may not be practical to try and remember all those settings. To help, a worksheet has been provided. The required settings are already included in the worksheet, and it also has extra rows in which you can write down the additional settings the feature needs.
