Merge Field Sample Layers

What to Expect when Merging Samples

• The field sample layer where the Merge Sample utility is accessed becomes the "Child" Layer.
• The field sample layer chosen within the Merge Sample Layer window is the "Parent" layer.
• Parent layers retain their lab, sample method, equation, and layer ID details as well as sample data values and points.
• Child layers are stripped of their lab, sample method, equation and layer ID details but retain their sample data values and points.
• The system will merge the two layers regardless of the sample ID values.
• Original child field sample layer will be deleted upon merge.
