Several sample validation rules are included with ArcFM and configured in ArcCatalog. You may configure any one of the validation rules or all of them. If the model names have not been added to the geodatabase, you will need to add a new model name. Next you will add model names and field model names to the listed feature classes using the ArcFM Properties Manager. The sample validation rules are described in the Appendix. Some of the sample validation rules do not require configuration. Those that do need to be configured are shown below.

1. Right-click the feature or object class (shown below) and select ArcFM Properties Manager.
2. Add the model names for classes and tables using the Model Name tab, and add field model names on the Field Model Names tab.

   Phase of Bank Unit

   Assign the TRANSFORMER model name to the Transformer feature class

   Assign the TRANSFORMERUNIT model name to the Transformer Unit object class

   Assign the PHASEDESIGNATION field model name to the Phase field of the Transformer feature class and the Transformer Unit object class

   Assign this field validation rule to the PhaseDesignation attribute of the TransformerUnit object class. On the Field Info tab, select Phase of Bank Unit from the Validation Rules field for the PhaseDesignation attribute.

    

   Phase on Transformer Bank

   Assign the TRANSFORMER model name to the Transformer feature class

   Assign the PRIMARYCONDUCTOR model name to the Primary Conductor feature class

   Assign the PHASEDESIGNATION field model name to the Phase field of the Transformer feature class and the TransformerUnit object class

   Assign this field validation rule to the PhaseDesignation attribute of the Transformer feature class. On the Field Info tab, select Phase on Transformer Bank from the Validation Rules field for the PhaseDesignation attribute.

    

   RatedKVA on Transformer

   Assign the TRANSFORMER model name to the Transformer feature class

   Assign the TRANSFORMERUNIT model name to the Transformer Unit object class

   Assign the RATEDKVA field model name to the RatedKVA field of the Transformer feature class and the Transformer Unit object class

   Assign this validation rule by selecting the RatedkVA on Transformer checkbox on the Object Info tab for the Transformer feature class.

    

   ArcFM Gas Valve Diameter

   Assign the VALVE model name to the gas valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the gas valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPE model name to the pipe feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the pipe feature class(es)

   ArcFM Sewer Valve Diameter

   Assign the VALVE model name to the sewer valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the sewer valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPE model name to the pipe feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the pipe feature class(es)

   Assign this validation rule by right-clicking the Valve feature class and selecting the ArcFM Properties Manager. Click the Field Info tab. Select the Diameter field and choose ArcFM Sewer Valve Diameter from the Validation Rules field.

    

   ArcFM Water Valve Diameter

   Assign the VALVE model name to the water valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the water valve feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPE model name to the pipe feature class(es)

   Assign the PIPEDIAMETER field model name to the Diameter field on the pipe feature class(es)

   Assign this validation rule by right-clicking the Valve feature class and selecting the ArcFM Properties Manager. Click the Field Info tab. Select the Diameter field and choose ArcFM Water Valve Diameter from the Validation Rules field.

3. Click OK to save your changes and dismiss the ArcFM Properties Manager.
