This tool deletes one or more fields from a table, feature class, feature layer, or raster dataset.



1. Input Table

The table containing the fields to be deleted. The existing input table will be modified.

2. Drop Field

The fields to be dropped from the input table. Only nonrequired fields may be deleted.

The Add Field button, which is used only in ModelBuilder, allows you to add expected fields so that you can complete the dialog box and continue to build your model.

Enable Editor Tracking

Enables editor tracking for a feature class, table, mosaic dataset, or raster catalog.



1. Input Dataset

The feature class, table, mosaic dataset, or raster catalog in which editor tracking will be enabledCreator Field (optional) The name of the field that will store the names of users who create features or records. If this field already exists, it must be a string field.

2. Creator Field (optional)

The name of the field that will store the names of users who create features or records. If this field already exists, it must be a string field

3. Creation Date Field (optional)

The name of the field that will store the dates features or records are created. If this field already exists, it must be a date field.

4. Last Editor Field (optional)

The name of the field that will store the names of users who last edited features or records. If this field already exists, it must be a string field.

5. Last Edit Date Field (optional)

The name of the field that will store the dates features or records were last edited. If this field already exists, it must be a date field.

6. Add fields if they don't exist (optional)

Specifies whether to add fields if they don't already exist.

  1. Unchecked—Fields will not be added. Fields specified must already exist in the input dataset. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Fields will be added if they do not already exist. You must specify the names of the fields to add in the Creator Field, Creation Date Field, Last Editor Field, and Last Edit Date Field parameters.

Transpose Fields

Switch data stored in fields or columns to rows in a new table or feature class.

This tool is useful when your table or feature class stores values in field names (such as Field1, Field2, Field3) that you want to rotate so they're arranged in rows. It lets you switch the field names and the corresponding data values in the fields to rows.



Input Table

The input feature class or table containing data value fields to be transposed.

Fields To Transpose

The fields or columns containing data values in the input table that need to be transposed.

Depending on your needs, you can select multiple fields to be transposed. The value here defines what the field name will be in the output. When not specified, the value is the same as the field name by default. However, you can also specify your own value. For example, if the field names to be transposed are Pop1991, Pop1992, and so on, by default, the values for these fields in the output will be the same (Pop1991, Pop1992, and so forth). However, you can choose to specify your own values such as 1991 and 1992.

Output Table

The output feature class or table. The output will contain a transposed field, a value field, and any number of specified attribute fields that need to be inherited from the input table.

By default the Output Table is a table. The output will be a feature class when the Input Table is a feature class and the Shape field is selected in the Attribute Fields parameter.

Transposed Field

The name of the field that will be created to store field names of the transposed fields. Any valid field name can be used.

Value Field

The name of the field that will be created to store the corresponding values of the transposed fields. Any valid field name can be set, as long as it does not conflict with existing field names from the input table or feature class.

Attribute Fields (optional)

Additional attribute fields from the input table to be included in the output table. If you want to output a feature class, add the Shape field.

1. Input Table

The input feature class or table containing data value fields to be transposed.

2. Fields to Transpose

The fields or columns containing data values in the input table that need to be transposed.

Depending on your needs, you can select multiple fields to be transposed. The value here defines what the field name will be in the output. When not specified, the value is the same as the field name by default. However, you can also specify your own value.

However, you can choose to specify your own values such as 1991 and 1992.

3. Output Table

The output feature class or table. The output will contain a transposed field,

By default the Output Table is a table. The output will be a feature class when the Input Table is a feature class and the Shape field is selected in the Attribute Fields parameter.

4. Transposed Field

The name of the field that will be created to store field names of the transposed fields. Any valid field name can be used.

5. Value Field

The name of the field that will be created to store the corresponding values of the transposed fields. Any valid field name can be set, as long as it does not conflict with existing field names from the input table or feature class.

6. Attribute Fields (optional)

Additional attribute fields from the input table to be included in the output table. If you want to output a feature class, add the Shape field.
