Add required attributes to an indoor dataset

In this topic

  1. Create coded value domains
  2. Add required attributes to the Units feature class
  3. Add the Areas table to the indoor dataset

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.

An Indoors geodatabase, created using the Create Indoors Geodatabase tool, contains all of the feature classes, fields, and tables required for indoor space planning.

If you created an indoor dataset using the Create Indoor Dataset tool, you must add the following items to the dataset before you can use it with the Space Planner app:

  • A coded value domain that describes the types of assignable spaces in the Units feature class
  • Additional attribute fields in the Units feature class
  • The Areas table

Create coded value domains

To create the required coded value domain that describes the types of assignable spaces in the Units feature class, complete the following:

Note:

If you are using an Indoors geodatabase, created using the Create Indoors Database tool, the following coded domain already exists and you do not need to create it.

  1. Open the ArcGIS Pro project that contains your indoor dataset.
  2. Right-click the Units feature class in the Catalog pane and choose Data Design > Domains.

    The Domains view appears.

  3. Click the New Domain button New Domain on the Domains tab.

    A row is created in the Domains view, and your pointer is positioned in the Domain Name column of this row.

  4. Configure the new domain as follows:
    • Name—DOM_ASSIGNMENT_TYPE
    • Description—Leave this blank
    • Field Type—Text
    • Domain Type—Coded Value Domain
    • Split Policy—Default
    • Merge Policy—Default
  5. In the grid by the Domains view, type the following codes and descriptions:

    CodeDescription

    hotdesk

    Hot Desk

    hotel

    Hotel

    none

    None

    not assignable

    Not Assignable

    office

    Office

  6. Click the Save button Save to save your new coded domain.
  7. Create another coded domain as follows:
    • Name—DOM_AREA_TYPE
    • Description— Leave this blank
    • Field Type— Text
    • Domain Type— Coded Value Domain
    • Split Policy— Default
    • Merge Policy—Default
  8. In the grid by the Domains view, type the following codes and descriptions:

    CodeDescription

    hotdesk

    Hot Desk

    hotel

    Hotel

  9. Create another coded domain as follows:
    • Name—DOM_RESTRICTED
    • Description— Leave this blank
    • Field Type— Long
    • Domain Type— Coded Value Domain
    • Split Policy— Default
    • Merge Policy—Default
  10. In the grid by the Domains view, type the following codes and descriptions:

    CodeDescription

    0

    Unrestricted

    1

    Restrict bookings to assigned occupants

Add required attributes to the Units feature class

To use the Units feature class for space assignment in the Space Planner app, add fields for area ID, assignment type, and add global IDs by completing the following:

Note:

If you are using an Indoors geodatabase, created using the Create Indoors Database tool, the following attributes already exist and you do not need to create them.

  1. Open the ArcGIS Pro project that contains your indoor dataset and the coded domain that you created in the previous section.
  2. In the Catalog pane, right-click the Units feature class and choose Design > Fields.

    The Fields view appears.

  3. Click the New Field button on the Fields tab or click the last row in the view that says Click here to add a new field.

    Your pointer is positioned in the Field Name column.

  4. Configure the new attribute as follows:
    • Field Name—AREA_ID
    • Alias—Area ID
    • Data Type—Text
    • Allow NULL—Checked
    • Domain—None
    • Default—Leave this blank
    • Length—255
  5. Add another field and configure it as follows:
    • Field Name—ASSIGNMENT_TYPE
    • Alias—Assignment Type
    • Data Type—Text
    • Allow NULL—Checked
    • Domain—DOM_ASSIGNMENT_TYPE
    • Default—Leave this blank
    • Length—255
  6. Click the Save button Save to save your new fields.
  7. In the Catalog pane, right-click the Units feature class and choose Manage > Add Global IDs.

    Global IDs are created for features in the Units feature class and a GlobalID field is appended to the attribute table.

    8. The Units feature class now contains the necessary attributes for use with the Space Planner app.

Add the Areas table to the indoor dataset

To create hotels and hot desk areas in the Space Planner app, you must create the Areas table in the indoor dataset by completing the following:

Note:

If you are using an Indoors geodatabase, created using the Create Indoors Database tool, you do not need to create the Areas table.

  1. Open the ArcGIS Pro project that contains your indoor dataset.
  2. In the Catalog pane, right-click the geodatabase that contains your indoor dataset and choose New > Table.

    The Define view of the Create Table pane appears.

  3. For the Name parameter, type AREAS.
  4. For the Alias parameter, type Areas.
  5. Click Next.

    The Fields view appears.

  6. Create fields for the Areas table with the following field property configurations:

      • Field Name—AREA_ID
      • Alias—Area ID
      • Data Type—Text
      • Allow Null—Checked
      • Length—255
      • Field Name—AREA_NAME
      • Alias—Area Name
      • Data Type—Text
      • Allow Null—Checked
      • Length—255
      • Field Name—AREA_TYPE
      • Alias—Area Type
      • Data Type—Text
      • Allow Null—Checked
      • Domain—DOM_AREA_TYPE
      • Length—255
      • Field Name— RESTRICTED
      • Alias— Restricted
      • Data Type— Long
      • Allow Null—Checked
      • Domain—DOM_RESTRICTED
      • Length— 255

  7. Optionally, create additional fields in the Areas table with the following field property configurations:

    • If included, the SCHEDULE_EMAIL field is used to facilitate booking spaces in the Indoors web and mobile apps.
      • Field Name—SCHEDULE_EMAIL
      • Alias—Schedule Email
      • Data Type—Text
      • Allow Null—Checked
      • Length—255
    • If included, the CAPACITY field is used to provide additional details to aid in space planning in the Indoors web and mobile apps.
      • Field Name—CAPACITY
      • Alias—Capacity
      • Data Type—Short
      • Allow Null—Checked

  8. Click Finish to create the Areas table.
  9. In the Catalog pane, right-click the Areas table and choose Manage > Add Global IDs.

    A GlobalID field is appended to the Areas table.

You can now prepare a Space Planner map for ArcGIS Online.
