Saving Edits to Geodatabase

Once edits are completed they need to be saved in ArcMap so Lucity knows to sync them.

How To

Save edits

1. After making edits, go to the ESRI Editor toolbar and select Editor > Stop Editing or Save Edits.  Select the option to save edits, and a prompt will appear stating that Lucity is going to be updated.

   Note: if users stop editing and don't save edits Lucity will not sync them.

   

2. It will pause for a few moments to figure out what needs to be updated.  A progress bar will appear in the lower right-hand corner of ArcMap and the Edit Session Status will be yellow.  Do not close ArcMap while this is processing or the changes will not be made to the desktop.
3. The progress bar runs twice to 100%.  The first time, it is reordering features so that they are updated into the desktop in the correct order and retrieves necessary information needed for the synchronization.  Depending upon how many features that are updating a pause may occur at 100% during the first progress bar.  This pause will depend upon the computer's memory and how many features were updated.
4. After the second progress bar completes, it will automatically close.  This means that the desktop application updates are finished and the Edit Session Status will be green.

Note: When user delete a feature from the map using the delete key, it does not delete the feature from Lucity; it changes its status to "Not in Map".  To tell whether or not something is in the map, open the Inventory module for that feature and find the feature .  If the "Show in Map" button is enabled, the feature is in the geodatabase.  If the "Show in Map" button is disabled, the feature is not in the geodatabase.  There is a special delete tool that allows users to delete features both in the map and in the desktop application simultaneously.
