🎯 I frequently use date/time stamps to track the creation or last modification of feature classes (FCs), which is a critical part of my daily workflow for managing data versions and dependencies.
Currently, accessing this essential timestamp requires navigating to separate areas: either the metadata page or the underlying SQL Server table properties. This constant, separate look-up is inefficient and disrupts the flow of my work.
💡The Proposed Enhancement
Please consider integrating the feature class's date/time stamp directly into the Properties page for immediate access.
Specifically, we propose displaying this timestamp within the Source tab under the Data Source listing.
| Current View | Proposed Addition |
| Data Type: Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class | Data Type: Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class |
| Feature Dataset: ABCD.Parcels | Data Type: ABCD.Parcels |
| Geometry Type: Polygon | Geometry Type: Polygon |
| | Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS |
🛠️ Data Extraction Source
The required date/time information can be reliably sourced from two locations already accessible by the application:
The Feature Class Metadata page.
The Underlying SQL Server Table Properties (e.g., the creation or modification date of the table).
✨Convenience
Adding the timestamp here provides significant convenience and saves time by consolidating critical data management information into the most frequently accessed location for data review. This small change would greatly enhance the efficiency of data stewards and analysts who rely on these timestamps daily.
Thank you for considering this enhancement!
