Editing an attribute set selection

You can edit tabulated results of an attribute query set using the Return Attribute Set option with the tools shown below. This utility is especially useful for editing existing events together in a single table that is physically modeled in separate event tables or feature classes.

Note:

To learn about the Return Attribute Set option, see Selecting an attribute set as results.

When the Return Attribute Set option is selected, the table returns results of the attribute set query. The results are modeled as separate event layers.

	Clear Map Highlights	Clear all the event highlights on the map.
	Select All	Highlight all the selected events.
	Zoom To Highlighted Features	Zoom to highlighted events on the map.
	Zoom To Selected Features	Zoom to selected events on the map.
	Save Changes	Save the edits made in the event table.
	Export Results to CSV File	Export the selected records to a CSV file.
	Advanced Table Sorting	Sort the results table using advanced options.
	Table Properties	Configure measure length and navigation to highlighted results.

Editing individual records

You can edit individual cells in the table by double-clicking them. The edits are made permanent by clicking the Save Changes button .

Note:

• If the cell is gray, the cell cannot be edited.
• If the cell is white, the cell is editable.
• A yellow-colored cell shows that it has been edited but the edits are yet saved.

This experience supports editing events from multiple event tables or feature classes that are dynamically segmented together.

If a message appears that is related to acquiring locks, the need to reconcile, or not being able to acquire locks, and so on, then Roads and Highways conflict prevention is enabled. For more information about these messages, see Conflict prevention in the Roadway Characteristics Editor.

The results of an attribute set query may not be segmented in the database in the manner they are presented in the table. As such, editing a cell can have one of the following effects:

1. A new event record is created if the original value in the cell was null.
   Note:

   If a new record is created, the start date of that record is the start date of the route.

2. The existing event record is lengthened or shortened if the value edited is the same value as another record coincident in measure with the same attributes.
3. The existing record is split if the value is edited in a cell and the cell does not represent the measure for the entire record in the database.
