Tip:

For events to be edited with the Attributes dialog box, they must be displayed in ArcMap as a feature layer.

Tip:

If you are editing your events after they have been added to the map as a feature layer, some fields will not be editable. These are the fields that are generated by the dynamic segmentation process: Shape, Loc_Error, and Loc_Angle.

Tip:

Some event tables cannot be edited—for example, delimited text files and tables accessed through an OLE DB connection.
