Renaming a stored template

Available with Production Mapping license.

As necessary, you can rename stored templates. This allows you to make the name more logical or user-friendly. For example, you could rename a stored road template called Unknown so it appears as "Road (General)" on the Create tab.

  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. Load data in the map if necessary.
  3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
  4. Click the Production Start Editing button Production Start Editing on the Production Editing toolbar.

    Note:

    The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

    Tip:

    If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button Show/Hide Attributes on the Manage Features window.

  5. Click the Create tab on the Manage Features window.
  6. Click to choose the template you want to rename.
  7. Right-click the template you want to rename, then click Properties.

    The Template Properties dialog box appears.

  8. Type a new name for the template in the Name text box.
  9. Click OK.
