Parcel fabric job book management

[DanNarsavage]

Some of our editors are no longer able to open the parcel fabric's job book at all--they click that command, and ArcMap stops responding.  Anyone else experience something like this and find a resolution?  One user here speculated that perhaps the job book has grown too big for its binding.  If we undertake an effort to delete old jobs from the jobs table, will that solve this problem?  If so, then is there a setting somewhere that will tell ArcSDE to do that automatically from now on?

Dan,
If, when the Job Book is opened, the default filter is to show "All" jobs, and if the jobs table has a lot of records in it, then that would explain the case that you're seeing. You can get around this by redefining the default job settings. To do this create an empty fabric in a file geodatabase, add it to the map, and then set the filter to show "Today" or specify a date range. This will reset the default filter, and so the next time you open the fabric with the large number of job records, the filter will present the filtered list.

In terms of deleting Jobs of a particular age automatically, there is no ability to do that at present. That's a good idea. Please put it up for a vote on the ideas site.

Thanks for reporting this.
