How to apply a coded value to a domain name?
Highlight the records to apply the coded value domain descriptions to. Right-click the field name the domain (Color) is applied to, and click Field Calculator. Input the coded value that matches the desired description. For instance, if it is necessary for all values to be ‘Red’, input ‘1’ and select OK.
How to assign domain values to a field?
Input the coded value that matches the desired description. For instance, if it is necessary for all values to be ‘Red’, input ‘1’ and select OK. This is because the coded value assigned to ‘Red’ in the domain is ‘1’. Note: Keep in mind the field type of the field must match the field type of the domain.
Can a field calculator be used to apply domain values?
In some cases, it is desirable to apply the description of a coded value domain to multiple records within a field at a time. Rather than applying each domain value for each individual record, the Field Calculator can be used to save time. In this scenario, it is assumed a domain which has values assigned to it is applied to the field.
Which is an example of a coded domain?
Coded value domains specify a valid set of values for an attribute. For example, water mains may be buried under different types of surfaces as signified by a GroundSurfaceType attribute field: pavement, gravel, sand, or none (for exposed water mains).
How to transfer field descriptions ( environment setting )?
Transferring field domain descriptions to the output of the geoprocessing operation will take more time (slower performance) than transferring only the domain and subtype codes. Only use this environment setting if domain and subtype descriptions are specifically needed in the output.
How to export domain codes instead of domain descriptions?
ArcGIS, by default, exports domain codes instead of domain descriptions. Select one of the solutions shown below. Option A allows the particular table to display the coded value domain descriptions, whereas Option B allows all tables exported to display the coded value domain descriptions.
