Disabling feature-level metadata

While editing features, you might determine that you do not want the features you are editing to be populated with feature-level metadata attributes. If this is the case, you can turn off feature-level metadata. If you do so, the values populated in the feature-level metadata fields when you create new features will be the values stored in the feature template. When you disable feature-level metadata and modify a feature, the values in the feature-level metadata fields will not be updated.

Pasos:

1. Start ArcMap.
   Sugerencia:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. If necessary, load data in the map.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   Nota:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

   Sugerencia:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Link Feature Manager To Attributes Window button on the Manage Features window.

5. Click the Metadata tab on the Manage Features window.
6. Right-click the Metadata tab and click No Metadata.

   The use of feature-level metadata is disabled.
