Producing attribute sets

Attribute sets provide the functionality to designate selected attributes for inputs. They are used to designate the event layers and columns in the layers for which values are provided in the Add Linear Events widget. The administrator can create a preconfigured attribute set that can be accessed by any person using the ArcGIS Event Editor. This preconfigured attribute set cannot be modified by other people. A person can create attribute sets that are stored in the web browser for local access or import attribute sets created by other persons.

The attribute sets are useful in limiting the number of record input fields while using the Add Linear Events widget. Editors can enter records only in the fields provided by the attribute sets.

Modifying the attributeSets folder

By default, the Event Editor is configured to use the attributeSets folder. You can modify the configuration to use a different folder for your attribute sets by editing the config.json file of Event Editor.

1. In the Event Editor folder, rename the attributeSets folder or create a folder in which attribute sets will be stored.
2. Open the config.json file in a text editor such as Notepad.

3. In the config.json file, browse to the attributeSets section.
4. Browse to the subsection titled folder.

   Here, you can modify the default attributeSets folder by changing the folder name.

   

   Replace the default attributeSets with the name of the folder where you will store your .rhas files.

Exporting a set

You can export an attribute set using the following steps:

1. In the Event Editor, click the Edit tab.
2. Click the Modify Attribute Sets button .

   The Attribute Sets dialog box appears.

3. Create an attribute set.

   メモ:

   Alternatively, you can import and modify existing attribute sets shared with you by another person.

4. Click Export.

   The Export Attribute Sets dialog box appears.

   

5. Select the attribute sets you want to export.

   To select all attribute sets, click Select All.

6. When you are ready to export, click OK.

   Your attribute sets will be exported to an attribute set (.rhas) file.

   メモ:

   If you have multiple Event Editor configured in one deployment, you may need to provide a separate attribute sets folder for each configuration. If not, the same attribute sets will be visible across all configurations.

7. Browse to the location of the Event Editor folder and open the attributeSets subfolder. Alternatively, if you specified a different attributeSets folder using the config.json file, open that folder.

   メモ:

   The attributeSets folder is created upon installation of ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing Server

8. Add the .rhas file you exported in step 6 to the attributeSets folder.

   Your attribute sets can now be accessed by any person using the Event Editor.
