Create Work Area Feature Class

A Work Area is the “footprint” or boundary of a design. Work Areas are particularly helpful to give designs a defined space and to inform other designers of activity in the area. The symbology (fill, style, and outline) are configurable at the company level, and the following image is just an example.

Including a Work Area polygon feature class in an Operational Map lets designers see what other work is happening in proximity to their design. Designers can, by default, see the Work Area for their current design, but through either a Reference Map or Reference View, designers can see other Work Areas.

See the ArcFM Solution Center and Designer XI – Configuration Guide topic Work Areas for more information about creating this feature class.
