Defining the Job Perimeter

As soon as you create a job, you are prompted to define its perimeter. If you don’t define the job perimeter at that point, you can define it later.

To define a job perimeter after the job is created

1. In the Industry Model Explorer, click to start Job Manager.
2. In Job Manager, expand JobsJob StatesOpen.
3. Right-click the job and click Select Perimeter.
4. In the Select Perimeter dialog box, select existing polygons or digitize a new perimeter. You can highlight the selected perimeter.
   • Create Perimeter From Topology: Click Select to select the polygons to work with, for example, parcels to modify in the current job. You can select polygons that are disjointed. The system builds the job perimeter from all selected polygons.

     If the job contains any topologies, the list box displays the topology polygon feature class (*_TSUR).

     If there are no topology feature classes in the job, the list box is empty. You can digitize the job perimeter.

   • Create Perimeter From Polygon: Select a polygon feature class from the list and digitize the perimeter. The list box shows all polygon feature classes that are specified as perimeter and are job-enabled.

The job perimeter you selected or digitized is stored in its respective perimeter feature class. If perimeters intersect, a warning is displayed. Perimeter intersections are allowed. Possible conflicts will be detected by the Job Conflict Manager.
