Before installing the needed ArcMap add-in, remove any previous versions of the Attribute Assistant Add-In you have installed on your machine and backup the configuration file before installing the add-in.
Attribute assistant add-in
The Attribute Assistant Add-In uses a series of predefined methods to automatically populate attributes when updating or adding new features to the geodatabase.
For example, one method populates a valve's size based on the distribution main feature it intersects. Other methods help you maintain the integrity of your infrastructure data by populating a unique identifier, last editor, and last update date on each feature.
To install the Attribute Assistant Add-In, complete the following steps:
- Close any open or running ArcGIS applications.
- Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Application folder.
- Double-click AttributeAssistant.esriAddIn to run the installer.
- Click the Install Add-In button.
