Calculations to creating points

HNTZK46 — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 06:13:58 GMT

Hi, I am pretty new to this area and trying to figure out how to create or update points features (feature classA) associated with attribute information from a table (feature classB).

Let's say for example, a table (feature classB) shown in the picture below, including Lat and Long values (decimal degrees). Using a calculation rule, I would like to create points (feature classA) using these values whenever new records are added to the table. Additionally, I would like to update the location of existing points whenever the Latitude and Longitude values in the table are updated.

Assume it uses arcade but does anyone know of any approaches to make this possible?

Take a look at this post that discusses converting to Lat Long

To add/update features in another class, you will need to read up on return dictionary
