Merge Mosaic Dataset Items (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Groups multiple items in a mosaic dataset together as one item.

Usage

  • Selections and queries should be used to choose the mosaic dataset items to merge. If a block field is also specified, the tool will take the results of the selection and merge all the similar block fields into separate rows.

  • The default number of maximum allowed items per merge is 1,000. If the maximum is exceeded, the tool will insert additional merged items for the selection or query. For example, if 2,000 items are selected, the tool will create two merged items.
