I am looking for some assistance in setting up the following using the Expression Value Method: If FieldA is null then      FieldB & FieldC & FieldA else      FieldB & FieldC endif Basically I am populating an address field with a concatenation of a number of fields,. If the legal unit is populated I need to add it into the address. If not, I don't want to include it. I have tried a number of IIF statements but keep getting syntax errors. My latest attempt: IIF (isNull([UNITID]),("[ADDRNUM] & [QUALIFIER] & " " & [FULLNAME]"),("[ADDRNUM] & [QUALIFIER] & " " & [FULLNAME] &"Unit " & [UNITID]")) Ther error in the logs is "ERROR: evaluating the expression for feature in GISADM.AD_SiteAddressPoint with OID of 362945 Expected ')' I am using ArcGIS 10.0 SP3. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks,     Alison ... View more

I just used the developer sample CustomAOICommand that allows the user to access the Find Address tool in the AOI tab of Workflow Manager. This is very helpful, but I was hoping that I might be able to incorporate the same tool into the Custom step JTXDesktop.DefineAOI. We want the definition of the AOI to be an explicit step in the Workflow. Any ideas if this might be possible? Thanks,       Alison ... View more

I am working with the addressing group who are new to ArcGIS to implement a system that uses ArcGIS to create point addresses that will be used in the address approval process and ultimately created as part of the point address feature class. We showed the users the Site Address Point addressing tools and though they thought they seemed good, they don't work for our workflow. They will be creating the points and then based on their work, they will be defining the ranges for the road segments. What we would like to do instead is allow the users to create the points, add in the address numbers and then bulk edit the road name, type, direction, etc. We would like to do the bulk edits using Attribute assistant. The reason for this is that we want to take advantage of such functions as VALIDATE_ATTRIBUTE_LOOKUP and COPY_LINKED_RECORD. Here is what I see as the hopeful workflow: 1. User creates points 2. User edits the Full Address number field either manually or using the field calculator with a python script that allows them to enter the starting address number and interval. 3. When happy with the format of the addresses, the user will highlight all the points and open the attribute panel (see the attached picture) 4. Then they will select the feature class name (Site Address Point) and start entering the name of the road that they want to use 5. The rule in use by the attribute assistant on that field will pop up the validate_attribute_lookup window and present the user with a list of road names that meet the entered string. 6. When the user selects a name, all site address points will receive this name 7. Copy_linked_record will be used to copy all the supporting information to the associated fields (road_type, municipality, direction, etc.) At the moment I can get to step 5 without any issues. When I hit step 6 the user selects a name and the first point in the list is populated, they are then presented with the window again for the next selected feature, and again until the list is complete. So if I had selected 10 features, I would have to select the road name 10 times. Can anyone suggest a way of working around this issue? Any suggestions on how I can get it to fire only once and then update all? Thanks,      Alison ... View more

Just reading the documentation and noticed something about the options to use the JTXDesktopSteps.LaunchArcMap Job type map document defined? Launch ArcMap with data workspace and version Launch ArcMap with data workspace and no version Launch ArcMap with no data workspace Yes ArcMap is launched using the map document defined. Layers are resourced to the job's version based on the Feature Class's short name.* The map is zoomed to the Area of Interest. This works the same as the scenario when a version exists, except the default version for the data workspace is used for the resourcing of layers. No changes are made to the layer sources. The map is zoomed to AOI. The above was taken from the help at http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00380000001w000000.htm Can anyone explain how or if I launch ArcMap, connect to a version, but not change the layer sources. My data is in SDE, and the layer source keeps being reset to my PC. Thanks,       Alison ... View more
