Editing Attributes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Related records –\u00a0 <\/strong>In the previous release<\/a>, a new feature for editing feature layer attributes along with attachments was introduced in the Map Viewer template. In this release, data editing has been further enhanced to allow editing of the attributes of the feature\u2019s related records (provided they support editing). The workflow and requirements are very similar as the editing feature layer attributes as mentioned in the previous blogpost.<\/p>\n

To edit the attributes of related records of a feature, you first need to get to the related records of the feature by tapping on the feature and choosing the related records from the returned results. Select the related feature you would like to edit and then perform edits on one or more attributes. Once done the attributes of the related records are saved successfully. \u00a0The following screenshot shows the workflow of editing attributes of the related records.

Visualization using daylight\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Daylight tool is a brand-new feature, and it lets you visualize how sunlight and shadows affect your scene during different times of day and year. Using\u00a0Daylight\u00a0tool in the 3D Scene Viewer gives a great real-world simulation of sunlight and shadows against features such as buildings, hills, and trees. \u00a0It is a very useful tool for urban planning that can be used by city a council member, a city resident, or a building developer to help make more informed decisions. To learn more about the daylight functionality and its details please refer this useful resource<\/a>. Here is a simple video on how this feature works in the template application.<\/p>\n
