Table options

Table options are application settings to customize whether you can interactively add rows in a feature class attribute table as well as determine when a hyperlink is automatically recognized in a text field. These settings apply to all your projects.

Set options for adding rows

Feature class attribute tables support the addition of stand-alone rows. To do so, click the Click to add new row option from within the attribute table.

Some feature layers do not allow the addition of stand-alone rows because their features require geometry. These layer types do not include the Click to add new row option:

• Annotation layers
• Dimension layers
• Multipatch layers

Follow these steps to hide this option:

1. Click the Project tab and click Options.
2. On the Options dialog box, under the Application heading, click the Table tab.
3. Under the Set options for adding new rows heading, check Hide the 'Click to add new row' option for feature class tables to hide the Click to add new row option when working with feature class attribute tables. The default setting is unchecked.

Set options for hyperlinks in table text

Text fields in a table will automatically recognize and display a clickable link for text that meets a combination of URI schemes and file extensions. A recognized link will appear blue and underlined in the field.

Follow these steps to define the URI schemes and file extensions used to recognize hyperlinks in a text field:

1. Click the Project tab and click Options.
2. On the Options dialog box, under the Application heading, click the Table tab.
3. To remove all web links from being recognized, uncheck the Allow web links option under the Set options for hyperlinks in table text heading. The default setting is checked. Alternatively, expand the Supported URI schemes option to manually modify the list.
4. To remove all file links from being recognized, uncheck the Allow file links option under the Set options for hyperlinks in table text heading. The default setting is checked. Alternatively, expand the Supported file extensions option to modify the list manually.
Both lists include a menu button that provides the following options:
• Reset —Reset the list to the default settings.
• Load —Load and replace the list from a file.
• Save —Save the current list to a file.
