Create a Custom UNIT ID Value

[Admin2TrecsMaps]

At our institution, other data associated with a space (examples: inventory, HR, space usage, occupany) uses a unique pre-defined format of site-building-floor-room. Using the CAD template, is it possible to specify this in upload.

Using the data from this photo, I would like to replace 148 with 119. 

Thanks

We use custom IDs for the entire Indoors data model - site, facility, level, and unit. So yes, you should be able to customize that part of your Unit ID.  Of course, if you have anything in the model associated/related to that Unit, it will need to be updated as well.

Can confirm this is possible, however since updating from ArcGIS Pro 3.2 to 3.4, I noticed that now whenever I create a new Unit feature it autopopulates the Unit ID field with a randomly generated string. So to use a custom ID you need to remove that string and replace it with your own (whereas before it remained null until you manually calculated an ID). I'm sure for a lot of users the new behavior is appreciated, but in the case of using your own custom IDs it opens up a bit more room for error, in my opinion.

We were able successfully incorporate the room number into the unit ID as shown below

The fix is to ensure you're mapping the room number CAD layer to the unit ID target field (originally we just had name):

SOURCE_ANNOTATION	TARGET_FEATURE_CLASS	TARGET_FIELD_NAME
a-flor-rnum	UNITS	UNIT_ID
a-flor-rnum	UNITS	NAME
