What is a domain ArcGIS?
Attribute domains are rules that describe the available values of a field type. They are used to constrain the values allowed in any particular attribute for a table or feature class. Whenever a domain is associated with an attribute field, only the values within that domain are valid for the field.
How is a domain related to an attribute field?
A domain is a declaration of acceptable attribute values. Whenever a domain is associated with an attribute field, only the values within that domain are valid for the field. In other words, the field will not accept a value that is not in that domain.
Where do I find the description of a domain?
After a domain is created, when you open the Properties dialog box for a feature class or table, the domain name is displayed in the domain drop-down menu when choosing a domain to associate with a given field. The description is a small sentence describing the purpose of the domain.
How is a feature split in an attribute domain?
Each attribute domain has both a split policy and a merge policy. When a feature is split or merged, the geodatabase looks to these policies to determine what values the resulting feature or features have for a particular attribute.
Can you create subtypes in the same feature class?
The issue I’m running into is that, after successfully creating a new Domain in the Enterprise GeoDatabase containing the Feature Class of Interest, I cannot Create a Subtype in that same Feature Class.
