Setting attributes for metadata favorites (Aviation)

The attribute values stored in the metadata favorite are used to populate features when they are created or modified. Whether you have created a new metadata favorite or copied an existing one, you need to ensure that the attributes on the favorite are set appropriately. The attribute values of the metadata favorite can be viewed in the Feature Attributes window.

When you are viewing the attribute values for a metadata favorite, you might find there are some fields that are unavailable (dimmed) and already populated with a value. This means that you do not need to set values because they will be automatically set when the feature is edited. If the value is set to #date#, the field is going to be populated with the current date and time stamp. If the value is set to #username#, the field is going to be populated with the user name of the person currently logged in to the machine when a feature is created or edited.
