Configuring attribute sets

Disponible avec la licence Location Referencing.

Attribute sets are a collection of linear event layer columns that can be edited as a logic group. The configuration of attribute sets provides flexibility to divide your event editing workflows by responsible party and the way data is collected and referenced.

When you use the Add Linear Event widget to add data from an attribute set, the dialog box is autoconfigured with the designated settings for measures and columns to edit, streamlining your workflow.

You may want to have different attribute sets to separate event layers to delegate editing responsibility between users or business units. You can create an attribute set for characteristic data such as DOT class, MAOP, and Test Pressure Range for the user or group of users who edit that data. You can create a separate attribute set for event layers that represent pipe characteristics for the user or set of users who edit that data.

Attribute sets are used to create a set or group of event column fields, from one or more event layers, which you can use to add records in the Add Linear Events widget in ArcGIS Event Editor. Each editable field in an event layer is present in the Available Event Layers list, which can be added to a group in the right pane. In addition, some default configurations for the attribute set can be provided—such as the default from measure method, from unit of measure, to measure method, and to unit of measure—that drive measure settings in the Add Linear Events widget. The Show Layer Names setting drives the layer name visibility in the Add Linear Events widget. The administrator can provide preconfigured attribute sets, or you can create your own attribute set using the steps outlined below.
