Layer Info

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

General Information

General Info

Layer Name:

This is the name of the Feature Class Layer in the Feature Service.

Lucity Module:

This field is read-only and displays the name of the Lucity module that the layer is related to.

Lucity Table:

This field is read-only and shows the Lucity database table that stores information for the selected Lucity module.

Disable Feature Class:

This flag disables a feature class layer that is not in use, but needs to remain in the setup. It is recommended to disable any feature class layers 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 a user-defined 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.

 

 

Layer 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

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/Common ID of the feature class.

 

 

Feature Class Linking Fields

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

Feature Class Linking Fields

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 on the Fields tab. Every module has at least one field that defines the asset as unique. These fields are highlighted in red on the Fields tab. To enter a value in this field go to the Fields tab, 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 on the Fields tab.

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/Common ID.
