ArcFM System Favorites Manager

ArcFM System Favorites lets you group and define the attribute values of frequently used features and graphics. Administrators may create favorites and graphics that are used but not edited by users. Users can create their own favorites in ArcMap. Features and graphics created using the ArcFM System Favorites Manager are available on the Features tab in the ArcMap table of contents.

The ArcFM System Favorites tool may have three tabs. The Features and Graphics tabs are available to ArcFM and Designer users. The Compatible Units tab is available only to Designer users.

ArcFM 8 and ArcFM 9 favorites and data may not be used interchangeably. For example, you may not place a favorite made with ArcFM 8 features in a map that has ArcFM 9 features.
