Update Parent Linking Domains

In many feature classes there will be fields that link a feature in that feature class to a parent feature in another feature class. It does this by storing the parent feature's LucityID. For example, a park bench might store the ID of the Park that it is in. This provides important connection information for Lucity, but is less useful to users because it just displays a number. The Update Parent Linking Domains tool creates user-friendly domains for these fields. While the field will still store the domain could display the linking ID, the domain could display the parent's: Facility ID number, Name/Description, Facility ID and Name/Description, or Name/Description and Facility ID.

	Cancel	Cancels running the tool for this feature class. If the tool was run against the entire geodatabase, the tool will go to the next feature class that has a parent link field.
	Do not show this prompt again...	When this is marked to tool will use the same option selected for every domain during this run of the tool. The next time the tool is run the link prompt will appear again.
