Enabling feature-level metadata with an existing product library

You can enable and disable the use of feature-level metadata. To ensure that the feature-level metadata attributes are being populated during the edit session, you need to enable the feature-level metadata by configuring metadata fields in the product library.

步骤:

1. Start ArcMap.
   提示:

   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. Ensure you have specified a product library and production database on the Data Management pane on the Production Properties dialog box.
   注意:

   The Production Properties dialog box can be accessed by clicking Customize > Production > Properties.

5. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   注意:

   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.

   提示:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button on the Manage Features window.

6. Click the Metadata tab on the Manage Features window.
7. Right-click the Metadata tab and click Use FCT Metadata.
