Adding a new product class

Disponible con licencia de Production Mapping.

Product classes are types of geographic products designed for a particular use, typically unique groups of maps, charts, or digital data that share common properties. You can add product classes to each solution to be able to organize and find different types of products easily.

Nota:

The administrator can create product classes only if it is also the schema owner.

1. Inicie ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.

   

3. If necessary, expand Product Library and Products.
4. Right-click the solution to which you want to add a product class and click New Class.

   The New Class dialog box appears.

   

5. Click the cell next to Name.

   The name is limited to 16 characters. Special characters are not valid entries.

   When creating a new product class, several new tables and a feature class are inserted into the product library workspace. The length of table names are limited based on spatial database engine software, such as Oracle.

   Special characters that are invalid include: ~, `, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, (, ), –, +, =, {, }, [, ], ;, \, /, :, *, ?, ', ", <, >, |, comma (,), period (.), and a space.

6. Double-click the existing text and type a name for the product class in the text box.
7. Click the cell next to Alias.

11. Click the cell next to Visible.
12. Click the drop-down arrow and choose an option to indicate whether the product class is going to be visible to other users in the Product Library tree view.

    The default value is False.

    The configuration keyword is unique to the database and determines the way the tables are built.

    Nota:

    This is only used by the CartoCommander ArcPyProduction function in ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting.

19. Click the cell next to Use Relational Query.
20. Click the drop-down arrow and choose an option to indicate whether relational queries are being used with the product class.
