Setting geodatabase validation rules Lesson overview Setting attribute validation rules Defining subtypes and domains Setting spatial validation rules Topology Introducing subtypes and domains Prevent illegal attribute assignment to features, tables Subtype: A subset of records within a field Domain: A definition of valid values for a field or subtype Anatomy of a subtype Organizes single field’s attribute values Can choose default subtype Requires integer values, user adds descriptions Setting subtypes Property of feature class or table Editing with subtypes Add features by their subtype The new features automatically inherit the default values of their subtypes Domains Define a set of legal values for a field’s attributes Range A pipe must be between 25 and 500 centimeters wide Coded value A residential parcel can only have a residential or vacant land use A property of the geodatabase Multiple objects may have the same field, use same domain Can be applied to any field a feature class Must share data field type Also define Split/Merge rules for features Anatomy of a domain Two types: Range, Coded Value Create in ArcCatalog or Toolbox A property of the entire database—can be associated with any relevant subtype or field Setting domains Property of the geodatabase Editing coded value domains Domains will allow only valid values to be entered Valid values can be chosen from a dropdown list List displays the descriptions—not the code values Range domains in ArcMap Use the Validate Feature command to see if any values are outside the range Invalid features remain selected When to use subtypes or a domain? Use domains to: Apply a coding scheme to any attribute field Use subtypes to: Organize data into categories within a feature class or table Set additional behaviors Exercise 8A overview Define subtypes Define coded value domains Examine subtypes and domains in ArcMap Lesson overview Setting attribute validation rules Setting spatial validation rules Topolo
