Frequently Asked Questions: DFIRM Tools – Label-EZ

In the previous step, I labeled a panel. I followed the workflow process and advanced to the step where I am editing the annotation. I just launched a new child job for the annotation editing step to see the results of the labeling process. I see "8000" all over my panel. None of the features in the panel have an attribute value of "8000".

The "8000" is a marker to indicate that an important field has not been populated. For instance, if you have not populated the Name Type field in the Transportation layer, the "8000" marker will appear along your road features. In the child job, populate the empty attribute fields using the GeoPop toolbar tools, and re-label the panel. Close the child job and advance it to a reconcile and post step. Reconcile and post the edits that you made to the parent job. Close the child job. Once you see the JTX interface, create a new child job for the parent to which you reconciled and posted changes. If you still see "8000" markers, you should repeat this process.
