•WebOffice 10.9 R4 editing is tightly integrated with WebOffice usermanagement. In UserManagement Admin Web you can, e.g. configure a client ID for a user group in order to automatically set the value of the client ID field in the edit layer for this object when the user creates the object. Find more information in chapters WebOffice User Management and UserManagement Admin Web.

•If you edit into a versioned feature class then WebOffice 10.9 R4 automatically performs the edits into the version used for the layer in the served ArcMap document. This way edits can be immediately displayed in the map service.

•It is possible to edit on a feature class with a different geographic projection then the main map service (the Edit Layer will get reprojected on-the-fly by ArcGIS). Anyway, there may be some precision problems depending on the projection parameters. Therefore, it is recommended to edit on feature classes only that have the same projection like the main map used for display.

•Editing features of a layer that has a joined table or layer in ArcMap is supported. However, please consider that the fields of the joined table cannot be used as edit fields.

•Please be aware, that editing a Table View is not possible.

•If no Editing fields are configured, then users can change the object geometry only.

•In WebOffice 10.9 R4 it is not necessary to configure editing fields if the fields get edited using an Integrated Editing Application.

•If ArcGIS Server Workgroup is used then no edit user can be configured. Instead the corresponding operating system user is used automatically.

Layer ID

Layer ID of the edit layer in the used map service.

Alias name of edit layer

Alias name for edit layer (for user interface edit layer drop down list box).

Usage hint

Short usage hint that will be displayed in the top right corner.

Edit mode

Edit mode:

•Attributes + Geometry: Attributes and geometry of the object get edited

•Attributes: Only attribute data of the object gets edited. The user is not able to change the geometry of the object at all

•Geometry: Only geometry of the object gets edited

•Attributes + limited Geometry (Split, Multipart explode, Multipart merge): Attribute data of the objects can be edited and a limited support for changing the geometry is allowed (geometry edit actions: split, multipart explode, multipart merge)

•Defined by Feature

Default edit layer?

Specifies the default edit layer.

Show layer symbols?

Specifies if the Symbology defined in the Edit-Template should be shown as Preview for the selected layer in the the Edit Form.

Provide direct editing?

Specifies if the user can edit a created feature directly by a button click (Yes) or not (No, Default).

Map View for edit layer

Specifies a specific map view/representation model to be displayed when choosing the edit layer. If no map view is configured then the current map does not get changed at all and the map does not get updated when selecting the edit layer.

External ID

External ID used in parametrized calls to WebOffice 10.9 R4 for identifying the edit layer.

Pixel tolerance for vertex selection

Pixel tolerance for vertex selection controls how sensitive selection of vertex points using the mouse pointer is. If the mouse pointer is within this distance of an object vertex point, then the user is able to select the vertex point.

Dimensioning

Support for doing simple dimensioning. Only effects the creation of polylines. If used (Yes) only two-point dimensioning per working step is supported. This also impacts several construction tools. Optionally chain dimensions can be created.

Use UM editing config?

If Yes is configured, the Editing Configuration for User Management is being used for this edit layer, provided that is has been configured in the application configuration under Common > UserManagement.

If No is configured, the meta data (such as create time stamp, create user, change time stamp, change user) of an edit action are not being saved.

Also, the functionality of a logical delete is disabled, that means that objects of this layer will be deleted physically.

Use Multiple Object Editing?

Specifies whether editing of object attributes for an object selection (multiple objects) is possible for the user. Editing multiple object attributes at once (one interaction) may increase user efficiency considerably.

Split to segments

Specifies whether polylines should be automatically split into segments (Yes) or not (No).

Simple editing?

Simple editing having less controls in the edit tool form in the WebOffice 10.9 R4 client.

The following functions are no longer available or restricted:

- no Vertex Geometry button
- no Construction button
- no Edit Geometry button -> always Yes

- no Undo button ('Reset editing remains)
- no Snap Layer(s)
- no output of length / area
- no context menu on vertex
- context menu on a line only for further processing

Ignore check consistency on lookups on create'

When true is configured the check consistency flag will be evaluated only on edit action edit / update

When false is configured the check consistency will also be evaluated on edit action create

Explode Multipart Mode

Defines the result of the edit action Explode Multipart to the edit layer.

All_Parts_to_Features

All parts of multipart-feature become separate Features (even holes)

Keep_only_Outlines

Holes as well as islands within holes get removed, only the outermost parts become separate features

Keep_Holes_as_Holes

Features containing holes stay multipart-features, islands within such holes however become separate features

Results of the Explode Multipart Modes

Vertex geometry for more than one point?

The user can have more than one Point in his upload vertex file. These points, when uploaded, will be created for the same set of attributes. This functionality is only used for point layers.

Objects must be adjacent for merging?

If activated (true) the merging of objects that are not adjacent is not possible.

If deactivated (No) (default value) the contour of the union of the selected objects will be used as resulting geometry in such cases.

Apply UserManagement filters on value lists?

If activated (true) the UserManagement Filters will be applied on the value lists in the edit form. The filters are not being applied on the value lists which were defined on a field in the WebOffice author standalone.

Keep object position?

Determines whether the end user can move the position of objects during the editing action Copy from.

Edit from map widget only?

If true the editing of this layer is only from WebOffice map widget possible.
