Feature Class Information Tab

This tab displays some basic information about the feature class, it's linking fields, and some diagnostic fields.

General Information

General Info

Feature Class Name:

This is the name of the feature class. This is NOT the alias name. If this is an sde and the owner of the feature class is not dbo, then the owner must be specified in the format of owner.featureClassName. Click the dropdown to see a list of current feature classes that are associated to the geodatabase.

Note: The feature class dropdown list will be empty if a connection to the geodatabase fails.

Module Name:

This field is read-only for existing item in the feature class list. This is the name of the Lucity module to which the geodatabase feature class is related.

Table Name:

This field is read-only and shows the Lucity table name that corresponds to the selected Lucity module.

Disable Feature Class:

This flag disables a feature class that is not in use, but needs to remain in the setup. It is recommended to disable any feature classes that are not being used; it will speed up processing time.

Always Update Length/Area:

This flag indicates whether or not the Lucity GIS Extension should always update the length or area field when the shape of a feature has changed. If checked, the program will update the field in the feature class mapped to the Lucity length/area field. If this option is left unchecked, the Length/Area fields will only be populated when the feature is first created.

 

 

Feature Class Fields (Not linked to Lucity)

This section contains optional fields used to keep track of changes in Lucity. The only exception is the Field for Display.

Feature Class Fields_config

In Lucity Flag Field

This field is updated by Lucity to indicate whether or not a record in the feature class has been synchronized with Lucity.*

  • This should be a short integer field
  • should be assigned a domain that classifies 0=No or False and 1= Yes or true.

Last Modified By

This field is controlled by Lucity to indicate the last user to modify the record in the map.*

  • This should be a Text Field

Last Modified Date

This field is controlled by Lucity to indicate the last date the record was modified in the map.*

  • This should be a Date field

Last Synchronized Date

This field is controlled by Lucity to indicate the last date the record was synchronized with Lucity.*

  • This should be a Date field

Field for Display

  • This is the field that is displayed by various Lucity GIS tools. By default this is set to the Facility ID of the feature class.

 

* If these fields do not exist in the feature class they can be added using the Feature Class Schema tools.

Feature Class Linking Fields

This section is a quick reference to show which fields in the feature class form the basis of the link between Lucity and the feature class.

link auto id

Common ID Field:*

The unique identifier assigned by the user for this asset. The value for this field cannot be directly modified; it is automatically populated based on the field mappings from the grid at the right of the page. Every module has at least one field that defines the asset as unique. These fields are highlighted in red in the grid to the right. To enter a value in this field, find the corresponding red highlighted field and type the field name into the Feature Class Field Name column.

Note: This field should be a string field in the geodatabase, not a numeric field.

Lucity AutoID Link:

This field is used by Lucity to store an indexed long integer link between the records in the feature class and the records in the Lucity inventory table. This field must be long integer. The value for this field name is not editable; to update this value, use the grid to populate all of the red highlighted (required) fields.

Note: While this field is not required it is still strongly recommended to have it. Not having this field will impact the performance of some of the Lucity GIS tools as additional resources will be used to determine the AutoID value based upon the Facility ID.

* Required

Additional Feature Class Linking Fields - For Inspections

Field2:*

The unique identifier assigned by the user for the asset the inspection is for. The value for this field cannot be directly modified; it is automatically populated based on the field mappings from the grid at the right of the page. Every module has at least one field that defines the asset as unique. These fields are highlighted in red in the grid to the right. To enter a value in this field, find the corresponding red highlighted field and type the field name into the Feature Class Field Name column.

Note: This field should be a string field in the geodatabase, not a numeric field.
