Add GPS Metadata Fields (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Adds GNSS fields to a feature class in a geodatabase.

Usage

Caution:

This tool modifies the input data. See Tools that modify or update the input data for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.

  • The following fields will be added to an input polyline or polygon feature class. The geodatabase domains will also be created, if they do not already exist, and associated with the appropriate fields.

Input Features

The input feature class that will be updated. The input can be a point, polyline, or polygon feature class.

Feature Layer

Include offset metadata fields

(Optional)

Specifies whether offset metadata fields will be added to the input feature class. This parameter is only applicable to point feature classes.

  • Checked—Offset metadata fields will be added to the input feature class.

  • Unchecked—Offset metadata fields will not be added to the input feature class. This is the default.

Boolean
