Related properties

Disponible avec une licence Workflow Manager.

Related properties, also known as linked properties, are custom one-to-many properties that allow you to store business-specific information. These properties are configured by job type, as it's likely that different types of work will require different property types. The custom related properties are displayed on the job view, on the Related Properties tab, by default. The tab name may vary, depending on the job type configuration, and allows you to view and update (where applicable) the one-to-many properties. Related properties can have more than one record for each job in the related property table.

Remarque :

To edit related properties, you must have the ManageLinkedProperties privilege.

The related properties are stored in a geodatabase table in the Workflow Manager (Classic) database. The fields can be configured for each job type in the following ways:

• Set field as visible and editable—The field is displayed and editable on the Related Properties tab.
• Set field as visible only—The field is displayed but is not editable.
• Set default value—The default value of the field when a job is created.

Several fields, such as jobId and objectId, are read-only and can't be edited. Required fields are indicated by a dark red outline.

Related properties can only be configured in Workflow Manager Administrator.

The data you can enter for the related property fields is restricted based on the field type configured to ensure that correct data is entered. On the Related Properties tab, you can choose a display type to store specific information.

The display types available in Workflow Manager (Classic) are as follows:

• Text—Enter text.
• Date—Enter a date value using a date picker in a calendar.
• File—Browse to a file, and the path of the file is stored.
• Folder—Browse to a folder, and the path of the folder is stored.
• Geographic dataset—Browse to a geodataset type and store the path. Supported types are as follows:
  • File geodatabase—Including datasets, feature layers, and annotation feature classes.
  • Enterprise geodatabase—Datasets, feature layers, and annotation feature classes. The enterprise geodatabase must be added to the project and appear in the Databases folder in the Catalog pane of the project to be accessible as a related property.
  • Shapefiles.
  • Layers—All types.
  • Domain—Select the field value from a list of domains configured on the source table.
  • Tables—All types, from either a geodatabase or a folder.
  • Rasters—From either a geodatabase or a folder.
  • LAS datasets.
• TableList—Select the field value from a list of values (similar to a domain). The list of values comes from another table that you configure.
• Multi-level Table List—Select a field value from a list of values that further filters the values to be displayed and selected in the next field.

The display types available while configuring related properties are dependent on the data type of the field in the source table. If the property is the Date data type, for example, the only display type available is date, and you can enter it manually or use the date picker. If the property is of a String data type, you can display it as a text, file, folder, geographic dataset, table list, or a multilevel table list. Text length is restricted to the characters allowed by the length of the field in the table. All other data types can only be displayed as text, a table list, or a multilevel table list.

After editing the properties on the Related Properties tab, click Apply on the bottom of the tab and store the changes. If you are not satisfied with the edits, click Revert and revert all the properties to the values they had before editing.

You can also set up your workflows to include the Edit Extended Properties step for creating a new row for related properties as part of a job's workflow.
