Feature Table and Feature Code Column
Table
The Feature Table to use for feature-coded Items in this Dataset.
Feature-coded Items get information about their Feature Code from this Feature Table.
Column
The Field that will be used to set the Feature Code on Items in the Dataset.
Transactions
Begin
Start a transaction. Begin editing the data.
After the edits have been made you have two options: Rollback or Commit.
Rollback
This will release the transaction and allow other users to obtain editable access to the data. The changes you made will not be applied to the dataset.
Note: Regenerating an overlay whilst in the middle of a transaction causes the transaction to roll back. In addition all undo information for the overlay will be cleared.
Commit
This will commit the changes permanently to the database and release the transaction. All users will now be able to view the data.
Only allow editing inside a Transaction
Check this tickbox to ensure edits can only be made if a transaction is current.
