ArcMap

Disable Editor Tracking

Summary

Disables editor tracking on a feature class, table, mosaic dataset, or raster catalog.

Usage

  • If the input dataset is from an enterprise geodatabase, it must be from a database connection established as the data owner.

  • When editor tracking is disabled on a field, editor tracking information will no longer be recorded in these fields when edits are made. You can reenable editor tracking with the Enable Editor Tracking tool.

  • This tool operates on feature classes, tables, mosaic datasets, and raster catalogs in a 10.0 or later release geodatabase.
