ESRI AttributeAssistant

The AttributeAssistant works in ESRI ArcMap to help keep complex attributes up to date.

I use it in Clatsop County to help the cartographers enter attribute data when they edit taxlot and other layers.

1. You create a table (non-versioned) in your geodatabase called DynamicValue.
2. You put rules in it.
3. When you edit, it executes the rules and updates attribute columns for you automatically.

This is a snapshot of the rules used in Clatsop as of 7/19/2018.

You can have it fire rules under different conditions and you can have it run a snippet of (ready for this?) VB Basic.

You can have it affect individual tables or all (* wildcard).

I created the Auto* rules before I learned that's really built into ESRI geodatabases now.
