How do I get a username into a table Using Attribute Rules?

phess_luckstone — Tue, 03 May 2022 18:10:28 GMT

I created a log table in a file geodatabase. (Just my playground for right now). In this log table I want to keep track of the type of edit done to my feature classes, the name of the feature class, date, username, objectid and globalid in the feature. I have gotten all but one piece of the puzzle, the username. Here is my code below:

return { "edit": [ { "className": "Logs", "adds": [{ "attributes": {"editType": $editContext.editType, #For Each Attribute Rule Put in Feature Class Name Below "fclassName": "VA_SouthParcels", "Date": Date(), "fclass_GlobalID": $feature.GlobalID, "fclassObjectID": $feature.objectid } }] } ] }

I have looked the documentation for the ArcGIS Arcade functions of GetUser, however I can't quite get it to work, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I haven't worked with GetUser() yet, but you should be able to do something like this

var user = GetUser($featureSet) if(!IsEmpty(user)) { user = user.username }

In your FGDB, you won't have success with this, because

When no user is associated with the workspace, such as a file geodatabase, an empty string will be returned.

You could try turning on Editor Tracking, and then use the last_edited_user field:

var user = $feature.last_edited_user

So since most of my layers have editor tracking enabled I modified that a little bit, and used this.

return { "edit": [ { "className": "Logs", "adds": [{ "attributes": {"editType": $editContext.editType, "fclassName": "VA_SouthParcels", "Date": Date(), "User":$feature.last_edited_user, "fclass_GlobalID": $feature.GlobalID, "fclassObjectID": $feature.objectid } }] } ] }

Which is nice because it even allows me to see if a user has deleted an item.

Thanks again.
