Summary
The Get Field Value tool gets the value of the first row of a table for the specified field.
Usage
This tool is intended for use in ModelBuilder and not in Python scripting.
This tool differs from the Iterate Field Value tool as only the first row of the input table is read, and the value of the specified field in this row becomes the output.
