The following process adds a Feeder Manager 2.0 autoupdater to all the feature classes participating in your electric network. This autoupdater is called ArcFM Feeder Cache Maintenance, and it's required by Feeder Manager 2.0.
The Feeder Manager Configuration Tool lets you turn on and off Feeder Manager 1.0 and 2.0. You can run both version of Feeder Manager simultaneously, but doing so negates all benefits that you recieve when running only Feeder Manager 2.0.
Should you decide to enable Feeder Manager 1.0 after having previously disabled it, you will have to run Trace All Feeders on your network.
Click Advanced Configuration to display the following options.
Hide Feeder Manager 1.0 Fields: Check this option to hide fields that are only relevant for the legacy Feeder Manager 1.0. This sets the ArcFM field visibility to no for each of the following:
If, before changing this setting, you had some of these fields set to anything other than Yes or No, clearing this checkbox will not restore your previous settings. It sets visibility from Yes or any other setting, e.g., Phase A Visibility, to No. If you clear this checkbox, it sets the visibility of these fields to Yes.
Bear in mind that this turns off field visibility in ArcFM tools only. You can have this option checked and still see these fields in Esri's attribute editor and attribute table, for example.
Configurable Delimiter: Some features can have multiple Feeder IDs or Subfeeder IDs, such as tie devices. By default, the ArcFM Attribute Editor, Locator, and Identify tools separate the values in these attributes with a comma. If you want to change this separator to something other than a comma, change it here.
