Wizard page “Setting links of components” from MIF and SHP files

Purpose

The page is intended for setting correspondence between table fields of import file and fields of GDB tables linked with map feature types.

Pane “List of tables”

The pane contains a list of all GDB tables selected at the previous step, existing tables, as well as the ones created in import. In the column “Table” names of these tables are given.

Character “+” in the column “Link” indicates that in the course of import a link should be set between imported map features and imported table records corresponding to them. If there is no character “+”, table records will be still imported, but links with features will not be set.

The column “Conflicts” displays one of the two possible methods of resolving conflicts of record field uniqueness in the course of import. If the method Refuse is set, import of record causing conflict is not performed. If Update is set, record being imported replaces the record with which the conflict occurred.
