Esri Shapefile Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace to open the Feature Type Parameter Editor. To always display the editor in Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

All feature types share similar General Parameters. This includes Name and Writer Name. From here, you can also control Dynamic Properties.

Shapefile Settings

This parameter applies at the feature type level. The initial value for this parameter is obtained at the writer level (see Dimension Settings in the Shapefile writer parameters dialog), but it can also be modified for individual feature types.
