Create Product Library (Production Mapping)

License Level:BasicStandardAdvanced

Summary

Creates a new product library in a geodatabase.

A product library is a series of tables in a geodatabase that allows multiuser environments to centralize information and behavior for cartographic and digital data production. Production business rules, documents, and spatial information are stored inside the product library, allowing an organization to enforce and standardize production. Data model information, data validation rules, geographic extents, symbology rules, and map documents can all be managed inside the product library as examples of production business rules. A product library workspace is a required input for any product library-related workflow.
