Create LRS Event From Existing Dataset (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Registers an existing feature class as an LRS event.

Usage

• The event feature class must reside in a feature dataset that contains an LRS dataset.

  Learn more about the LRS dataset in the Pipeline Referencing data model or the LRS dataset in the Roads and Highways data model.

• The event feature class fields must include the properties specified in the Pipeline Referencing events data model or in the Roads and Highways events data model.

• 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
  Carto Realign Route	Honor Route Measure

Parameters

• Dialog
• Python

Label	Explanation	Data type
Parent LRS Network	The network to which the event will be registered.	Feature Layer
Event Feature Class	The event to be registered.	Feature Layer
Event ID Field	The event ID field in the event feature class.	Field
Route ID Field	The route ID field if the feature class is a point event that doesn't span routes or the from route ID field if the feature class is a line event that spans routes.	Field
From Date Field	The from date field in the event feature class.	Field
To Date Field	The to date field in the event feature class.	Field
Loc Error Field	The location error field in the event feature class.	Field
Measure Field	The measure field if the feature class is a point event or the from measure field if the feature class is a line event.	Field
To Measure Field (Optional)	The to measure field in the event feature class. This parameter is required for line events.	Field
Event Spans Routes (Optional)	Specifies whether the event records will span routes. Checked—The event records will span routes. Unchecked—The event records will not span routes. This is the default.	Boolean
To Route ID Field (Optional)	The to route ID field for events that span routes. This parameter is required if the event feature class geometry type is polyline.	Field
Store Route Name (Optional)	Specifies whether the route name will be stored with the event records. Checked—The route name will be stored with the event records. Unchecked—The route name will not be stored with the event records. This is the default.	Boolean
Route Name Field (Optional)	The route name field if the feature class is a point event that doesn't span routes or the from route name field if the feature class is a line event that spans routes. This parameter is required if Store Route Name is checked.	Field
To Route Name Field (Optional)	The to route name field for line events that span routes. This parameter is required if Store Route Name is checked.	Field

Derived output

Label	Explanation	Data type
