Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.
After loading floor plans to your Indoors geodatabase, you can manually load events data.
Ensure that your events table contains a location attribute UNIT_ID that matches the Unit's UNIT_ID where the event is taking place. The events may come from a class schedule, Microsoft Exchange Server, a conference agenda, a spreadsheet, or another business system or live service. To load event data, you need to combine a spreadsheet or table of events with the Units feature class and output a 3D point of the joined location and event information.
Note:
Event date and time must be stored in UTC.
- Load your tabular events data into a table in
the Indoors geodatabase.
For example, you can use the Excel To Table tool.
Note:
Ensure that your events table contains a location attribute UNIT_ID that matches the PointsOfInterest feature class's UNIT_ID attribute. These will be used to join the unit and location details to each event.
- Add the POINT_X and POINT_Y fields to the PointsOfInterest feature class with the Add XY Coordinates geoprocessing tool.
The feature class should contain your Places + Things unit points.
- Join the PointsOfInterest feature class to your imported events table.
- Right-click the events table and click Joins and Relates, and then click Add Join.
- Choose the location field of your events table for the Input Join Field parameter.
- Choose the PointsOfInterest feature class for the Join Table parameter.
- Choose the UNIT_ID field for the Output Join Field parameter.
- Run the Make XY Event Layer geoprocessing tool on the joined table.
Tip:
Use the POINT_X, POINT_Y, and ELEVATION_RELATIVE (Z) attributes.
- Run the Copy Features geoprocessing tool to create a temporary point feature class.
- Use the Append geoprocessing tool to load the 3D points into the Events feature class.
Tip:
Use the Schema Type Field Map option to match the attributes of input points to the target dataset.
