expand/collapse item About EditNotes

The EditNotes tools enable the sharing of ideas about data. Use the EditNotes tools to make simple edits to spatial and attribute data, then submit your edits to the ArcIMS Administrator. The EditNotes toolbar contains tools for selecting, adding, moving, and deleting the features of a layer belonging to a Feature Service. EditNotes is supported only with Feature Services and not with Image or ArcMap Image Services.

When you click the EditNotes button, the EditNotes toolbar appears. Use the following tools to edit features. When you are finished editing, submit your session. An EditNotes item appears in Administrator's EditNotes folder with a time stamp and description. The features you added or moved can be converted to shapefile or XML format.

EditNotes has been deprecated and may not be available in a future release.
