I have a geodatabase and I would like when I add features from it to my map for the symbology be a unique value from a field in the attribute table. How can I set this up so it happens automatically when the data is added?</SPAN></P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 15:08:16 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142115#M51157 CandiSmith23 2022-02-09T15:08:16Z Re: Symbology from field in the attribute table when added from a geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142164#M51165 <P>Is your layer already being symbolized by <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/unique-value.htm" target="_self">unique values</A> or are you using single symbol symbology?</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:01:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142164#M51165 Robert_LeClair 2022-02-09T16:01:30Z Re: Symbology from field in the attribute table when added from a geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142186#M51173 <P>When I add my points from the gdb it comes in as a single point but I would like it to come in with symbols with unique values using my symbology code in the attribute table.

Could you add an integer field, and define the code and description for the subtype. Then use Calculate Field to define appropriate codes based on the TEXT field.</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 18:58:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142275#M51182 JayantaPoddar 2022-02-09T18:58:41Z Re: Symbology from field in the attribute table when added from a geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-from-field-in-the-attribute-table-when/m-p/1142277#M51183 <P>This forum is an awesome source!
