On the left side of the Geodatabase Configuration tool is the geodatabase connections tree, which is used to select and configure links between Lucity and the geodatabase as well as run configuration tools.
Component Types
The configuration for each geodatabase consists of four components:
1 |
Geodatabase: |
Identifies a geodatabase that is configured with Lucity. The tools associated with this component often affect all feature classes configured below it.
|
2 |
Feature Class: |
Represents a feature class within the geodatabase that is linked to a Lucity module.
|
3 |
Number Generator: |
Represents a special function that automatically populates a feature class field with a incremented number. Select this node to modify the properties of the number-generator.
|
4 |
Scheduled Task |
Represents a special function that schedules an automatic sync of data from Lucity to the geodatabase or from the geodatabase to Lucity.
|
5 |
Spatial Relate: |
Represents a special function that updates a feature class field based on its proximity to another feature in another feature class. This type of relationship is valuable for tracking a parent object and its children.
|
As users select components within the geodatabase connection tree, the screen expands to show different sets of information. Right-clicking on a configuration component displays a menu of tools. These tools are used either to modify the structure of the geodatabase or perform batch operations that are also available for individual feature classes. The following table describes most of these tools.
