This topic applies to ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced only.

When the Local Government Information Model (LGIM) is enabled on a parcel fabric, parcel types, attribute fields, and domains that reflect the editing requirements of Local Government parcel maintenance are added to parcel fabric tables. These fields and domains are added in addition to the system fields of parcel fabric feature classes and tables. Some system fields have also been renamed. For example, the Name system field on the Parcels table has an alias named Parcel Identification Number for the Tax Parcels sublayer and an alias of Lot or Unit Number for the Lots and Units sublayer. Some system fields have also been turned off.
