Save Favorites

You have the option of saving the current diagram or a selected duct bank as a composite favorite.

Select the Save Favorites task in the Diagram Manager. This task allows you to save a diagram or duct bank as a system favorite or a user favorite.

Select a facility diagram or duct bank using one of the UFM selection tools on the UFM toolbar.
- Select Diagram selects the current facility diagram when the user clicks the button.
- Choose Select Duct Bank and click a duct bank in the diagram to select it.
In the Save Favorites section, the buttons enable according to what you have selected. If you have a facility diagram selected, two Save As buttons will be enabled: Save Diagram as Favorite, Save Diagram as User Favorite. Click the first one to save the diagram as a system favorite or the second to save as a user favorite. If you do not have a diagram or duct bank selected its Save As buttons will not be enabled.
If you have not saved a favorite of the type selected (diagram/duct bank, system/user), you will be prompted to create a directory in which the favorite will be stored. Click OK to create the folder. If you click Cancel the favorite will not be saved.

On the Create Composite Favorite screen, enter a unique description in the Desciption field. This is the name users will see when selecting existing favorites to create diagrams or duct banks.

Click Create. Each time Create is clicked, another composite favorite is created.
Click Close.

Saved composite favorites are visible when the user has selected Diagram Favorites under Create Manhole Floor and Walls (for diagrams) or Duct Bank Favorites under Create Duct Banks and Ducts (for duct banks).

You may edit or delete existing composite favorites and favorite categories in the Diagram Manager or in the Features tab.

In the Diagram Manager, select Diagram Favorites or Duct Bank Favorites. You may also expand the System Favorites folder on the Features tab and find UFM composite favorites in the Duct Banks and Facilities directories. Right-click the favorite and select Edit Composite Favorite or Delete. You may also right-click a favorite category and select Create Favorite Category, Edit Favorite Category or Delete. Right-clicking the favorite category also allows you to create a template favorite or create a composite favorite.
