The relationships functions offers you an alternative to see on the map which structures are related to which lines by relating structures together in the Relationship tab. Relationships can be spatial or non-spatial depending on the features you are relating. For example, if you need to relate addresses to features and structures, you can create this non-spatial link using relationships.
Relationships can exist between all kinds of spatial objects, non-spatial objects or between spatial and non-spatial objects. You can configure relationships by creating relationship classes and foreign-key relationships, for more information on the topic, visit the ArcGIS Pro documentation.
To edit relationships:
1.Go to Toolbar > Edit > Relationships. In the left side panel, the Relationships tab opens.
2.Load the features or structures by any of the various available tools from the map.
Depending on how many network features and associated information are to be listed, the following functions are available for selection:
|
Load identified map objects |
Load the desired features or structures with a mouse click on a structure line or by drawing a rectangle over a map area. |
|
Load selected map objects |
Load the structures that are already selected in the map from another step or with another selection function. |
|
Load map objects from extent |
Load all the available structure lines in the current map extent. |
|
Remove All |
All loaded structure lines and relationship information are removed from the results list. |
In the WebApp, you can configure for which structure line types relationships are supported.
Only the features of feature classes which are connected via relationship classes can appear in the panel and be selected for relationships.
3.Create a new relationship by clicking on the action menu that is next to the loaded feature, then clicking on Create new relationship. Choose the feature you want to create the relationship with and click on it in the loaded map.
There are certain predefined rules for every feature when it comes to creating a relationship between features. If you violate one of the rules, an error message pops detailing the description of the rule you violated.
4.You can perform some edit actions on your created relationships by clicking on the action menu, the following functions appear:
|

|

|

5.To create a new non-spatial relationship, click on the action menu next to the name of the structure, then click on Create new related feature. A new feature form is opened, fill in the fields and click on Submit. You have now created a non-spatial feature that is related to your current structure.
