If I need help configuring Attribute Assistant, what should I do?

If you need support configuring Attribute Assistant at your organization, please contact Esri Support Services. If you would like to get help from other community members, post your question on the Utilities and Telecommunications space on GeoNet.

I think I have found a bug! Can you add this feature? I am a developer; how can I help?

There is a GeoNet discussion on Attribute Assistant. Additionally, all of the source code is freely available on GitHub and licensed under the Apache License, version 2.0. Please submit issues with questions or fork the code into your own repository. All contributions are welcome!

When I try to turn on the Attribute Assistant, I receive the message Dynamic Value Table is required to activate the Attribute Assistant. What does this mean?

If the Attribute Assistant will not toggle on, ensure that there is a table named DynamicValue in the Table of Contents. This table can have any source file name, but the display name must be DynamicValue. If this still does not work, verify that the name in the configuration file matches the table name in the map.

How do I enable the log file?

If you are having issues with Attribute Assistant, turning on the log file might help pinpoint particular problems.

  1. Add the Attribute Assistant toolbar to the map by navigation to Customize > Toolbars > Attribute Assistant.
  2. Press the Show config information (AA) button.
  3. Browse to the location of the config file by pressing Open Location or navigating in Windows Explorer.
  4. Open loaded.aa.config in your text editor. Keep the dialog box open.
  5. Find the line containing key="AttributeAssistant_Debug". A value of "true" enables logging; "false" will disable logging. Save and close the file. <add key="AttributeAssistant_Debug" value="false" />
  6. If not already, open the Config and Log File Dialog box and press the Reload button. The dialog box can now be closed.
