Responder Toolbar in ArcMap

Available in ArcMap.

The Responder toolbar in ArcMap allows you to access Responder Explorer as well as place manual incidents and view information about existing incidents. If a tool uses snapping, the feature layer to which you want it to snap must be selectable.

If the Responder toolbar is not visible, you may access it by right-clicking the gray area around the toolbars. Select Responder from the list.

Open Responder Explorer	This button opens the Responder Explorer.
Create Fault	This button allows the operator to manually create a fault on a device or line.
Create Switching Operation	Use this tool to create a switching order that represents a planned outage. When the switching order is created, the device is operated (e.g., a normally closed device is opened).
Create Non-Electric Incident	This button allows the operator to manually create a fault on non-electric equipment (e.g., support structure).
Create Hazard	This tool allows you to place a hazard on a network device or a location (non-network) feature.
Create Tag	This tool allows you to place a tag on a device without a switching order or an incident.
Show Single Responder Feature	This button displays the corresponding incident in Responder Explorer for the selected device.
Show Multiple Responder Features	This button displays the corresponding incidents and/or calls in Responder Explorer for the selected group of devices.
Edit Incident	This button displays the Edit Incident form in Responder Explorer for the selected incident.
Edit Tag	This tool allows you to modify information for existing tags.
Zoom to Incident Extent	Zooms the map display to include the selected incident and the outage area it causes.
Refresh Rate	Select a value from the Refresh Rate pulldown menu to indicate how often you want the map to refresh with new incidents.
Start Free Weather Trial	Use this tool to initiate your free trial of Responder Weather Integration.
Select Weather Layers	Use this tool to enter your SE Weather Web Services credentials (regular or trial), as well as to select the layers you want to add to your currently open map.
The following tools do not appear on the Responder toolbar by default. Select Tools \| Customize. Click the Commands tab and choose the Responder Commands category. Drag tools from this category onto the Responder toolbar to add them.
Build TroubleMaker Database	This tool provides an easy method for populating a database for use with Responder's TroubleMaker application.
Update Population Information	Formerly the Customer Region Tool. Use this tool to perform a spatial query on all load points in the map and assign an accurate value to the Regions field in the RX_CUSTOMERS table. This tool is discussed on the Periodic Data Maintenance page in the Configuration Guide.
Find Source	This tool allows the user to locate the path to a feeder source.
Find Downstream Features	This tool finds all downstream junctions and edges from the user-defined start point.
Find Immediate Children	This tool identifies the devices immediately connected downstream of the selected device.
Notify Network Change	When Responder loads the geometric network at start-up, it caches the network for better performance. This tool allows you to reload the geometric network. Refresh the version in ArcMap to view the latest information. This tool is discussed on the Periodic Data Maintenance page in the Configuration Guide.
Reprocess All Line Display and Jumpers	With the proper roles and permissions, you can use the Reprocess All Line Display and Jumpers tool to remove all line display symbology, and reprocess all current line displays and jumpers to appear on the map.
Add Close Step to Switch Order	This tool requires that you have a switch order open. The tool makes it easy to select a device on the map and create a close operation in the currently open switch order. Select the Add Close Step to Switch Order button, then click a device on the map. A close operation is added to the open switch order for the selected device. The tool will remain enabled if you do not have a switch order open. However, no operation will be created.
Add Open Step to Switch Order	This tool requires that you have a switch order open. The tool makes it easy to select a device on the map and create an open operation in the currently open switch order. Select the Add Open Step to Switch Order button, then click a device on the map. An open operation is added to the open switch order for the selected device. The tool will remain enabled if you do not have a switch order open. However, no operation will be created.
System Switch State	This pulldown menu allows you to determine how ArcFM electric and Responder traces are performed.
Toggle Layer Cache	This tool sets the cache property on an Esri layer to provide quicker redraws of the selected layer.
Place Jumper in ArcMap	This tool allows you to place a jumper to restore an outage. This tool automatically creates a Confirmed Incident in Responder Explorer that owns this jumper. This is an optional tool that requires assigning the RXJUMPERS model name and setting up Line Display configuration. Check with your administrator for configuring Responder for this tool.
Remove Jumper in ArcMap	This tool allows you to remove a previously placed jumper from the map. This is an optional tool that requires assigning the RXJUMPERS model name and setting up Line Display configuration. Check with your administrator for configuring Responder for this tool.
