In this blog<\/a> from a couple of months ago I shared how to automatically maintain x,y,z attribute values using attribute rules in ArcGIS Pro.\u00a0 That is a valid workflow and, in fact, I was inspired to share it because we see that capability requested periodically.<\/p>\n

However, as I was finishing up that blog, it occurred to me that for many people, it may not be necessary to write those values to the data source\u2019s table at all.\u00a0 So consider this a prequel!\u00a0 Before you store data, ask yourself, \u201cIs it necessary?\u201d<\/p>\n

The primary use case for when it may not be necessary to actually maintain three extra fields in your data is when you only need it for display in the map.\u00a0 The three display examples that I could think of off the top of my head are 1. Labels, 2. Pop-ups, and 3. MapTips.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s work with the Himalaya peak data that I was using in that previous blog and take a look at how to leverage the same Arcade expression to dynamically populate Labels, pop-ups, and MapTips, without having to store those values in your table.\u00a0 Just to prove there\u2019s no funny business going on, I stripped the PointX, PointY, and PointZ fields, so we\u2019re just dealing with the Shape (PointZ) field:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1303272,"id":1303272,"title":"AttributeTable_ShapeOnly","filename":"AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","filesize":7570,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/before-you-store-data-ask-yourself-is-it-necessary\/attributetable_shapeonly","alt":"Attribute table containing only ObjectID and Shape fields","author":"8932","description":"","caption":"Not a very exciting attribute table","name":"attributetable_shapeonly","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1303182,"date":"2021-07-20 19:22:13","modified":"2021-07-20 19:26:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1107,"height":282,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":118,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":196,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","large-width":1107,"large-height":282,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","1536x1536-width":1107,"1536x1536-height":282,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","2048x2048-width":1107,"2048x2048-height":282,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly-826x210.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":210,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AttributeTable_ShapeOnly.png","wide_image-width":1107,"wide_image-height":282}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

    Do take note of that tip from the documentation, though, and use MapTips judiciously as they can impact navigation performance in the map.<\/p>\n

    Summary<\/h2>\n

    That\u2019s it for what I wanted to share today.\u00a0 It is certainly possible that you have a workflow that requires you to store a point feature\u2019s x,y,z values in the data source\u2019s table.\u00a0 If you need that, check out Get to the Point: Automatically maintain x,y,z attribute values with ArcGIS Pro and attribute rules<\/a>.\u00a0 Depending on what you\u2019re doing, though, it may not be necessary to store those values permanently, in which case the options covered here may work better for you.<\/p>\n

    This is a simple demonstration of how to use Arcade expressions to display information without having to add new fields to your data.\u00a0 The general concept can be applied much more broadly and is covered in a number of other blogs, learn lessons<\/a>, and Esri Academy<\/a> (search for ‘Arcade’).<\/p>\n
