InfoSWMM SA Ribbon User Interface

InfoSWMM SA Ribbon User Interface

InfoSWMM SA has an easy to use Interface which allows you to work more productively with a modern, workflow-centric, ribbon user interface. The new interface is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete and understand your network. InfoSWMM SA commands are organized into logical modeling tasks and put together under sepa­rate tabs. Each tab relates to a type of InfoSWMM SA activity, such as File Home, Edit, View, Data, Tools and Applications. The ribbon, tab groups, which are a labeled set of closely related commands all provide access to many of the key InfoSWMM SA Commands. Many of the additional tools such as contouring and annotation may be found in the Model Explorer which combines Scenario Management, Run Manager, Output Manager and the Attribute and Operation tools. The organization of the InfoSWMM SA Ribbon is very clear and helps guide the modeler or modeller.

The InfoSWMM SA ribbon command bar, which is composed of the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) which exposes and highlights important ribbon commands as specified by the user or are default operations in InfoSWMM SA, and a tab row that contains the key tabs of File, Home, Edit, View, Data, Tools, Application which guide the user from opening the project to advanced applications in Stormwater and Sewer modeling such as Calibration, Design, SWMMLive, Sustain and RDII Analyst.

Built with the ESRI ArcGIS Engine and supporting numerous database, CADD, GIS, and data formats, InfoSWMM SA supports many powerful GIS and mapping functions. Its unique open-architecture framework allows information to be easily exchanged with other applications including CAD and presentation applications, spreadsheets, and relational databases. InfosWMM SA and its companion software InfoWater SA use the ESRI Arc Map 10.3 engine (see thttp://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisengine for more information)

Although transparent to the user, InfoSWMM SA is developed to run entirely within a standalone (i.e., no additional CADD or GIS software required) environment. InfoSWMM SA tools are accessed using customized ESRI ArcGIS Engine commands, menus, and toolboxes, and the graphical user interfaces for these tools are based exclusively on Windows interface standards
