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 parent records: Facility ID number, Name/Description, Facility ID and Name/Description, or Name/Description and Facility ID.

Parent_linking_domains

 

Number Field Name/Description Field

These are provided to show which fields within the related Lucity module the tool is referencing.

The four options allow an administrator to choose what the GIS field will display.

Creates/updates the domain based on the selected option

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, and the tool is run in the future for this feature class, this prompt will not appear. Instead it will use the setting previously used.
