Generate Summary Table Data (Aviation)

Available with Aviation Charting license.

Summary

Collects information from related tables in a selected aviation charting database and outputs the resulting information to a table.

Summary tables provide a compilation of information describing all the features of a given type that appear on an aviation chart. For example, they may provide information about all the airports that appear on the front and back of a two-sided chart. This tool gathers attribute information from various tables in the Aeronautical Information System (AIS) that can be used to generate summary tables for aviation charts. Preferences can be created that determine which attributes are collected, allowing them to generate summary table data for various chart types.

Usage

• Preferences are stored in the AIS_Preferences table. To open the AIS_Preferences table, click the Aviation contextual tab and in Configuration group, click the Preferences button .

  You can also access references from the View tab. In the Windows group, click the Aviation drop-down arrow, and click the Preferences button .

• Chart information must be present in the AIS_Charts table.

• The selected output table must contain ChartID_Txt, Preference_Txt, and PanelID_Txt or Panels text fields.

• If you run this tool on an enterprise database connection, refresh the output table, or close and re-open the table from the table of contents to see the new rows.
