  2. Click the Edit tool Edit Tool.
  3. Select the events whose attributes you want to edit.
  4. Click the Attributes button Attributes.
  5. Click the primary display field of the event feature for which you want to modify an attribute value.

TipTip:
For events to be edited with the Attributes dialog box, they must be displayed in ArcMap as a feature layer.
TipTip:
If you are editing your events after they have been added to the map as a feature layer, some fields will not be editable. These are the fields that are generated by the dynamic segmentation process: Shape, Loc_Error, and Loc_Angle.
TipTip:
Some event tables cannot be edited—for example, delimited text files and tables accessed through an OLE DB connection.
