Hello Tony,

Regarding the three items below and beta #2.

Not supported for 10.0
=================

Basemap Layers are not supported in Stored Displays and Stored Documents
Feature Construction toolbar does not activate for ArcFM Edit Tasks
Mobile Workspace Packets

Before I send out an email to my clients, I want to make sure I understand correctly. The three items listed above, will not be support then the final release of ArcFM 10 ships.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason -

This is correct. The items above will not be supported in the final release of ArcFM 10.

The first two items are new functionality from Esri that we simply are not able to support in our initial release of 10, but that we do hope to support in a future release.

Mobile workspace packets have been removed in favor of XML packets. Full details on the Mobile workspace packet removal is coming tomorrow (10/27) on ArcFMBuzz.com


Hope this helps!
