You can use queries to simplify output reports

00:06

by creating a selection set using filters.

00:10

Selection sets are good for finding features on the map. From an output report

00:15

to begin double click the desired project dot APR file to open

00:20

Agis Pro.

00:21

Once the project starts,

00:23

click the info water pro tab to open the info Water pro ribbon

00:27

in the project panel, click initialize

00:31

open the run manager either from the model explorer

00:34

or from the info water pro ribbon analysis panel

00:39

in the run manager, click the run icon to run the simulation

00:43

and then click OK to exit

00:47

on the info water pro ribbon

00:49

in the view panel, click report manager

00:53

in the report manager. Click new

00:56

in the output report slash graph window, make sure that tabular report is selected

01:02

and then choose the pipe range report

01:05

under data scope, select domain.

01:09

Then click open

01:12

the report that opens only contains elements in the domain. In

01:15

this case, eight inch pipes in pressure zone four.

01:19

Now you can create a filter from this report. Data

01:23

filters can be used to locate specific data on the

01:26

map or save a record of features with a prescribed value

01:31

in the report manager, click the filtering icon

01:35

in the data filtering dialogue under available columns, select max value.

01:41

Then for the operator click the greater than symbol

01:45

in the value field, enter 10 and then click add

01:50

the filter statement is added to the data filter box.

01:54

Verify that the statement reflects what you are looking for which in this

01:57

case are pipes with a flow greater than 10 gallons per minute.

02:01

This technique is similar to using the query builder.

02:05

Click, apply

02:07

an information box appears showing how many features

02:10

in the report have the specified value.

02:13

In this case,

02:14

there are a number of pipes with a flow greater than 10 gallons per minute.

02:19

Click. OK.

02:22

Now in the report manager,

02:23

all records that meet the filter are selected as

02:26

indicated by a checkmark in the first column,

02:30

click the save selection icon to save these selected features as a selection set

02:37

in the selection set window,

02:38

click the new icon and then enter a new id of high underscore flow

02:44

and then click, OK,

02:47

click, OK. Again to save the selection set.

02:52

If you accidentally close the selection set window before clicking, OK.

02:56

The selection set will not save,

02:59

click hide to close the report manager.

03:03

You can view the results of your selection set in the map

03:06

on the info water pro ribbon

03:08

in the domain panel, click domain manager

03:13

in the domain manager, click clear to clear the domain

03:17

select selection set as the element source,

03:21

expand the dropdown and choose high underscore flow

03:26

and then click, add

03:30

close the domain manager,

03:33

all pipes saved in the high flow selection set from the report manager

03:36

are added into the domain and can be found on the map in red

03:41

to make these pipes stand out a bit better.

03:44

You can increase the size of the red symbology

03:47

from the contents. Pa

03:49

click the red line next to domain under the pipe feature class

03:54

in the symbology pipe pane that opens, switch to the properties tab

04:00

increment the line width to two

04:02

and click apply

04:05

close the symbology pane

04:07

the pipes in the domain that you set up with

04:09

the high flow selection set from the report manager.

04:12

Now clearly stand out in the map.

Now clearly stand out in the map.

Step-by-step:

You can use queries to simplify output reports by creating a selection set using filters. Selection sets are good for finding features on the map from an output report.

  1. Open the appropriate .aprx file in ArcGIS Pro.
  2. From the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Project panel, click Initialize.

To run the simulation in the exercise file:

  1. From the Model Explorer OR from the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
    The Run Manager icon in the Model Explorer and in the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Analysis panel
  1. In the Run Manager, click the Run icon to run the simulation.
  2. Click OK to exit the Run Manager.

To access the output report for the run:

  1. On the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, View panel, click Report Manager.
  2. In the Report Manager, click New.
  3. In the Output Report/Graph window, Tabular Report tab, select the Pipe Range report.
  4. Under Data Scope, select Domain.
    Output/Report Graph window with Pipe Range and Domain selected
  1. Click Open.

The report that opens only contains elements in the domain, in this case, 8-inch pipes in pressure zone 4. A filter can be created from this report data. Filters can be used to locate specified data on the map, or to save a record of features with a prescribed value.

  1. In the Report Manager, click the Filtering icon.
    Filtering icon in the Report Manager
  2. In the Data Filtering dialog box:
    1. Under Available Columns, select Max Value.
    2. For the Operator, click the > (greater than) symbol.
    3. In the Value field, enter 10.
    4. Click Add.


Data Filtering dialog box with settings for this exercise

The filter statement is added to the Data Filters pane. Verify that the statement reflects what you are looking for, which in this case are pipes with a flow greater than 10 gallons per minute. This technique is similar to using the Query Builder.

  1. Click Apply.

An Information dialog box appears, showing how many features in the report have the specified value. In this case, there are a number of pipes with a flow greater than 10 gallons per minute.

  1. Click OK.

In the Report Manager, all records that meet the filter are selected, as indicated by a check mark in the first column.

  1. Click the Save Selection icon to save these selected features as a selection set.
    Save Selection icon in the Report Manager
  1. In the Selection Set window, click New.
  2. In the New Selection Set popup, type a New ID of “HIGH_FLOW”.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Click OK again to save the selection set.

To view the results of your selection set in the map:

  1. On the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Domain panel, click Domain Manager.
  2. In the Domain Manager, click Clear to clear the domain.
  3. In the Element Source group box, select Selection Set.
  4. Expand the drop-down and choose HIGH_FLOW.
    Domain Manager with Selection Set selected
  1. Click Add.
  2. Close the Domain Manager.

All pipes saved in the HIGH_FLOW selection set from the Report Manager are added into the domain and can be found on the map in red.

To make these pipes stand out, increase the size of the red symbology:

  1. From the Contents pane, under the Pipe feature class, click the red line next to Domain.
    The Contents pane with the Pipe > Domain symbol highlighted for selection
  1. In the Symbology - Pipe pane, click the Properties tab.
  2. Change the Line width to 2 pt.
  3. Click Apply.
    Symbology – Pipe pane with line width of 2 pt selected
  1. Close the Symbology pane.

The pipes in the domain that you set up with the HIGH_FLOW selection set from the Report Manager now clearly stand out in the map.
