|
|

New button
|
Displays a new empty row in the grid so you can create a new attribute domain.
|
|
Delete button
|
Deletes the currently selected attribute domain after you confirm the deletion. This command initiates a check to determine whether any feature attributes are using this domain. If so, a message indicates that the domain cannot be deleted. Otherwise, the domain will be deleted, along with all references to friend domains. Assignments to attribute legal values will be deleted but not the values themselves.
|
|
Friend Domains Grid
|
Friend domains are used to determine which domains can share default values and what the set of possible default values are among a group of friend domains. The OverlappingDomains table stores the relationships of friend domains.
|
|
Name
|
Lists the names of all domains that are "friendly" with the currently selected domain in the Domain grid.
|
|
New button
|
Adds a row to the grid and displays a button that opens a drop-down list of existing attribute domains that are not currently friends of the domain selected in the Domain grid. Selecting a domain from the list associates it with the active domain.
|
|
Delete button
|
Removes the selected domain name from the list and breaks the connection between the friend domain and the active domain.
|
|
Attribute Legal Values Grid
|
The Attribute Legal Values grid shows all the legal attribute values for the currently selected attribute domain in the Domain grid. The grid accepts input only if the control type is Drop List or Check Box. If the setting is Drop List, at least one entry is required. If the control type is Check Box, two entries are required, along with entries in the Alternate Value column.
|
|
Value
|
Lists the available values for the selected attribute domain. These values are displayed to users via the corresponding control type (i.e., Drop List or Check Box).
|
|
Alternate Value
|
Provides another version of the value that is more recognizable to users. Required if the Control Type setting is Check Box.
|
|
New button
|
Adds a new row to the grid so you can specify a new legal attribute value. The default value is New Value #1.
|
|
Delete button
|
Removes the selected value from the grid after you confirm the deletion. The Delete operation removes the legal value assignment from the currently selected domain but does not delete the attribute legal value itself. Any attempt to change or delete a value will display a warning message that the feature attribute may be used in a compatible unit rule for the selected feature type and that changing or deleting the legal value may make the rule incorrect.
