Attributes Pane advanced configuration
It would be nice if the Attributes pane could be configured to group attributes so that editors can focus on important data without having to scroll through dozens of fields. Some examples where we would want to move fields are:
- In a Utility Network there are numerous fields maintained by the network. These are necessary to understand the state of the network but clutter the UI for editors.
- We have a subset of fields that are required but only for 24" and greater waterlines. Being able to break this out so the editor only has to go to them when necessary is helpful.
- Some fields are set by an attribute rule but can be changed by the user having these grouped would help the users.
We have attempted to use ordering and the alias to help with these situations. I have also tried a custom solution but ran into a bug. If would be better if I didn't have to do custom code.
This image shows the full list of attributes the user has to scroll through. Important attributes have to be scrolled to.
The next images are from the prototype AddIn I created that show a new tab with subtabs for different groupings (works on a file geodatabase but not feature service) :
This was the customization option available to me but these groupings could be configured as a treeview (with a toggle for is expanded or not when initialized):
