Created and retired parcels count

Question

We noticed that the created parcels count and retired parcels count recorded in a parcel fabric record is not retained in the record because it appears to be dynamic depending on the edits transactions done in the related polygons.  We were hoping to use this information for reports and statistics regarding how many parcels were created in a record or during a period of time but these counts varied as subsequent records are created and edits done.

A record closed today can show 6 parcels created and 3 retired.  A second record with the same parcels assigned can have a count of 5 parcels created and 1 retired.  When you query the first record the counts are modified (in our example 3 created parcel and 3 retired).  I'm guessing this is because the GUID.

Any suggestions on how to retained an static count information in a record is appreciated.

Thanks

If you associate a parcel manually to a record by:

1. Copying the GlobalID of a record that is not active

2. Pasting it in the parcel CreatedByRecord field

It will not update the count until you hit build.

If the record is active a newly created parcel will be automatically associated with the active record.

Thanks for the feedback @AmirBar-Maor, I contacted our distributor to clarify the issue.  We are just a few weeks to migrate to the parcel fabric model and this is a must.  We did see that when a parcel is assigned manually to a record it is added to the count no matter an edit operation takes place.

There are multiple ways in which a parcel can be associated to the record that created or retired it. An editor can even make the association manually.

The record parcel count only updates on certain operations, like Build Active or Build Extent for example. When the counts are updated, like any other edit operation, you will need to save the edits.

Also note that the counts span between all the parcel types. For example: if you have one record that created 1 subdivision, 10 lots and 9 tax parcels, the count will be 20.

If you see wrong counts, and you think this might be a bug, please contact technical support and we will look into it if it turns out to be a bug.
