Display Feature Class Date/Time Stamp in Source Properties

jakek — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:29:44 GMT

🎯 I frequently use date/time stamps to track the creation or last modification of feature classes (FCs), which is a critical part of my daily workflow for managing data versions and dependencies.

Currently, accessing this essential timestamp requires navigating to separate areas: either the metadata page or the underlying SQL Server table properties. This constant, separate look-up is inefficient and disrupts the flow of my work.

💡The Proposed Enhancement

Please consider integrating the feature class's date/time stamp directly into the Properties page for immediate access.

Specifically, we propose displaying this timestamp within the Source tab under the Data Source listing.

Current View	Proposed Addition
Data Type: Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class	Data Type: Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class
Feature Dataset: ABCD.Parcels	Data Type: ABCD.Parcels
Geometry Type: Polygon	Geometry Type: Polygon
	Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

🛠️ Data Extraction Source

The required date/time information can be reliably sourced from two locations already accessible by the application:

The Feature Class Metadata page.
The Underlying SQL Server Table Properties (e.g., the creation or modification date of the table).

✨Convenience

Adding the timestamp here provides significant convenience and saves time by consolidating critical data management information into the most frequently accessed location for data review. This small change would greatly enhance the efficiency of data stewards and analysts who rely on these timestamps daily.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
