This tool allows you generate a ‘Tips Table’ from existing MCAS-S TIP files. You can then modify the Tips Table by updating field values and/or adding new fields, and then export out (generate new) MCAS-S TIP files using the Metadata > Export Tips tool.

User Inputs

Table of Geodata: Table of geodata that have MCAS-S TIP files you want to import using this tool.

Field for geodata: Select the field from the 'Table of Geodata' that contains the full path to the raster items you want to generate a Tips Table for (by importing data from existing TIP files.

Output Workspace: This is the location for the Grid Garage results table containing the list of geodata processed by the tool as well as any data outputs. If the tool encounters any errors when processing the input geodata then a second results table will be generated, with a ‘_FAIL’ suffix, listing the input geodata that failed and any ESRI error messages.

If you have set the ArcGIS ‘Workspace' parameter in the Geoprocessing > Environment Settings then this path will be used as the default. You can use this default path or click the folder button to select a new output location which can be a folder or File Geodatabase. If you specify a folder then the Results Table will be written to a comma-delimited (CSV) text file, if you specify a File Geodatabase it will be written as a Geodatabase Table.

Result Table Name: You can choose to use the default table name or specify a different name for the Grid Garage results table. The Grid Garage results table reports on a range of different properties for each of the geodata items in the 'Table for Geodata' input table. See the Grid Garage User Manual for a description of all the properties reported on.

If the tool encounters any errors when processing any of the geodata then a second results table will be generated, with a ‘_FAIL’ suffix, listing the input geodata that failed and any ESRI error messages. If you choose a folder for the Output Workspace then the result table will be written to a comma-delimited (CSV) text file which will not allow you to select rows for processing when using the table as input for other Grid Garage Tools.

Result Table file name: The default name will always take the form of ‘ImportTipFilesToTableMetadataTool_date_time’, where ‘date’ and ‘time’ are the date and time that the tool was run.
