To Use Reference Records

To define reference records for feature class forms

1. In the Maintenance workspace, open an industry model drawing or an enterprise industry model project.
2. Open the feature class form.
3. On the Feature Class Form Toolbar, click Tools > Reference Records > Add.
4. In the New Reference Record dialog box enter a name, such as Healthy Trees.
5. Select Public if the reference record is available to all users.
6. Select Use Last Value as Reference to use previous values.
7. Click OK.

   The input fields are highlighted in light blue, indicating that the form is in Reference Record mode.

8. Enter the reference values, such as Health = excellent.
9. Click Save to activate and save the reference record.

   The new reference record is activated. If you now create a new feature for this feature class, the fields you filled in will be used as the default values.

   To check whether a reference record is active, on the Feature Class Form Toolbar click Edit Record. The current reference is indicated in the status bar.

To select a predefined reference record

1. In the feature class form, click the drop down arrow.
2. Right-click the green background to see the shortcut menu.
3. Use one of the two options in the New Reference Record dialog box:
   • Public: If this option is selected, reference records are available to all users that are logged in. For example, administrators might make certain reference records compulsory for all users. Non-public reference records are only available to the current user.
   • Use Last Value as Reference: If this option is selected, reference data is dynamic and will be set to the values the user has entered before in the reference attributes. The recently entered values are displayed.

     If Use Last Value as Reference is not selected, the next new record displays the defined reference values.
