Is there any way I could add information that repeats on one point, again and again without deleting any previously recorded data from this point feature? I am currently running ArcGIS Desktop Advance 10.1
For example: Bird habitat at same location over weeks, months and years. All data being collected at this location using point feature class, but don't want to add new point every time I collect new data at this same location.
You could create a table to store this information and then use a Relate to link it to the point feature class.
For example, something like this:
Habitat (point feature class)
- Shape
- HabitatId
- other fields...
Sightings (table)
- HabitatId
- SpeciesName
- CommonName
- DateObserved
The Sightings table could be related to the Habitat feature class using a common field HabitatId.
I will give this a shot and will update you the status. Thank you so much for the informative info, Owen.
