Configuring a product class definition

The Definition pane allows you to view and create product class versions. The product class definition indicates which version number is associated with the product class as well as which tables and feature classes are included. You can configure the properties in the New Class or Class Properties dialog box.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If you do not have the New Class dialog box open, right-click an existing product class from the product library tree view and choose Properties to open the Class Properties dialog box.
3. Click Definition in the list on the left side of the New Class or Class Properties dialog box.

   The pane displays tables if they have already been assigned to a product class version.
4. If necessary, click the Product Class Version drop-down arrow and choose a different product class version to use.
   Tip:

   You can also create new product class versions by clicking New.

5. Check the check boxes next to the tables, datasets, and individual feature classes you want to include in the product class version.
   Tip:

   To check all the check boxes next to the table and dataset names, click Check All; to clear all the check boxes next to the table and dataset names, click Clear All.

   Note:

   If you are using the Nautical Solution, click Check All.

   Tip:

   You can proceed to the following before closing the dialog box:

   • Choosing the method used to edit areas of interest
   • Choosing the publisher to use with the map documents (optional)
6. Click OK.
