Link GIS attribute fields to asset type fields

Civic Platform can import attribute information from Accela GIS to an asset type during synchronization. If you want to do this, you must specify the fields where you want the attribute data stored in Civic Platform. You do this by mapping GIS attribute fields to their corresponding Civic Platform attribute fields. For more information about where the GIS attribute comes from and how Civic Platform determines its maximum field length.

If an asset attribute links to a GIS attribute that associates with coded domains, the asset attribute shows the coded domain description of the GIS attribute. You must make sure the data type of the GIS attribute coded domain is compatible with the linking asset attribute, or the attribute does not show any value.

To link a GIS attributes to Civic Platform asset attributes

  1. From the Administration menu, select Assets > Type.

  2. Search for the asset type in which you want to link attribute fields.

  3. Select the GIS attribute mapping tab.

  4. Use the lists to select the appropriate fields to link to the GIS attribute fields.

    Note: Verify that each attribute is of the same data type and, at minimum, the same data length with the mapped GIS attribute. For a numeric attribute that has decimal places, make sure both its integer and its fraction length is no less than that of the mapped GIS attribute. Otherwise, you cannot save the mapping.

  5. Select Submit.
