Esri Shapefile Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace. This opens the Feature Type Parameter Editor.

Tip  To always display the editor in FME Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, which may include Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer information, and Geometry.

In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept Table or Index Qualifier prefixes on the output table feature type.

Shapefile Settings

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