Spatial Relationships

The Spatial Relationships section updates features based on their location relative to other features to aid general editing and maintaining these relationships. These are used to speed up filling out information when adding new features. It is most often used to update a child record with a parent record's ID number.

For example, Spatial Relationships can update Playground Equipment with the Park ID. The Spatial Relationship can update any fields whether or not they are linked to EAM Web, and can use non-EAM feature classes to update EAM feature classes.
