Lucity GIS works with shapefiles, personal geodatabases, or enterprise geodatabases. Several setup steps may be required prior to using the system. If you are using a standard Lucity geodatabase, you will not need to modify the Custom Feature Definition, but you may want to set up your parcel layer as this is not included in the default configuration. For clients using shapefiles or using a customized geodatabase, before using the system you must go to the Custom Feature Definition module to define your setup.
If you have a custom geodatabase and are planning on using GIS to maintain edits and automatically push changes from the map to the desktop (and from the desktop to the map if you are using ArcSDE), you will also need to refer to the Using Custom Geodatabases section of the manual for details on this configuration.
Note: For versions 6.72 and up, we now recommend Arc 9.1 or 9.2, but still support 9.0 for most functions.
You will need to perform the following steps so that your users can start using the system:
Tools > Extensions. Place a checkmark by the Lucity GIS extension if one is not already there.View > Toolbars from the ArcMap menu. You'll need to select the three available Lucity GIS toolbars: Lucity GIS, Lucity GIS Edit Tools, and Lucity GIS Segment Tools.You will also need to set up the following four items in your Desktop software.

Note: You can also configure the show in map function on a per-module basis. Consult the Show in Map function topic for additional information.
