ArcFM Viewer

ArcFM Viewer, based on ESRI's ArcView*, provides a high-performance, robust query and display tool without the expense of a full editing package. Utility executives, managers, customer service representatives, and contractors all require quick and easy access to information that is maintained with ArcFM with the ability to analyze asset data. With ArcFM Viewer, utility personnel can view, trace, and query data to help minimize costs or optimize the investment in maintenance and construction to get the most from the facility network.

ArcFM Viewer is also ideal for personnel in the field. The ArcFM Personal Geodatabase Extraction tool allows an ArcFM user to export selected data from the ArcSDE geodatabase to a personal geodatabase. This extracted information may be used in the field with ArcFM Viewer on a laptop computer, allowing field crews to visualize and identify vital facility information from any location. Users already familiar with ArcFM benefit from the common architecture and interface found within ArcFM Viewer. In addition, the non-editing tools built for ArcFM are automatically available in ArcFM Viewer without additional customization.

Locator Tools - ArcFM Viewer provides full functionality to locate features based on the ArcFM display field, XY coordinates, or specific attributes. In addition to the standard ArcFM locators, any customizations developed for the locator tool for the ArcFM implementation will be available to all ArcFM Viewer users.
Stored Displays - This tool allows the user to set the standard symbology for features to be saved in the database rather than needing to pass/share a map document. Users may easily select a new collection of layers without closing/opening a new document. All Stored Displays defined for the ArcFM implementation are automatically available in ArcFM Viewer.
Page Templates - Page layout templates, created in page layout mode in ArcMap, allows a user to define the size, orientation and graphic elements of a map document. The user may easily select a page template for their map layout without opening/closing a new document. All Page Templates defined for the ArcFM implementation are automatically available in ArcFM Viewer.
Stored Documents - This tool stores multiple layers in specific, user-defined page templates. All Stored Documents defined for the ArcFM implementation are automatically available in ArcFM Viewer.
Personal Geodatabase Extraction Tool - This tool allows ArcFM users to export selected data from the ArcSDE geodatabase to be used as a personal geodatabase with ArcFM or ArcFM Viewer.
Trace Solvers - Electric trace solvers allow users to trace electric distribution systems by phase and trace protective devices both upstream and downstream.
Gas and water trace solvers depict natural gas or water as it flows through the distribution system. Utilities may also trace pressure systems, cathodic protection systems or trace lines to identify valves for emergency isolation.
In addition to the standard ArcFM trace solvers, any custom trace solvers developed for the ArcFM implementation will be available to all ArcFM Viewer users.
