Linking a record to a map feature

You use the Link tool to link application records to map features. If the feature class that you select to link to a record is associated with a Maximo database table, the link tool is available. Your geodatase administrator creates the relationships between feature class tables and application record tables.

To link a record to a map feature:

  1. Display the record that you want to link to a map feature.

  2. Open the Editing window using either of the following methods:

  1. In the Select a Version ID field, select the version you want to edit and click Start Editing.

  1. Click Editing in the Tasks section in the left pane of the Map tab. Note: In non-versioned editing, you do not choose a version to edit. You make all of your edits against the default version.

  1. In the Edit field, select the feature class that contains the feature type that you want to link.

  2. To link a record to an existing map feature, click Select Features  and select the feature on the map. The system highlights the selected feature. To link a record to a new map feature, create the feature using the Create Feature tool.

  3. Click Create Link and Save  . The system displays a message indicating that the link was made, and displays the unique identifier of the application record to which the feature was linked.
