Configure External Event With LRS (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Associates event data stored in an external system with an LRS.

Usage

  • The geodatabase where the associated events are present and the geodatabase in which the LRS resides must be enterprise geodatabases.

  • This tool can also be used to modify the name, fields, and event behaviors for the existing configured external events.

  • The following event behavior rules are set by default:

    Activity

    Rule

    Calibrate Route

    Stay Put

    Retire Route

    Stay Put

    Extend Route

    Stay Put

    Reassign Route

    Stay Put

    Realign Route

    Stay Put

    Reverse Route
