I have used the dissolver to join some spatial data that was touching.  It dissolved the boundaries fine, but all the attributes are gone.  I selected keep attributes in the dissolver, but they are gone.  Do I need to add additional steps and how do I add the attributes back to my data?

 

 

Thank you.

Hi Joan,

 

 

If you need to keep attributes of all input features, specify 'List Name' parameter of the Dissolver. The output feature will have a list attribute containing all attribute values of dissolved features.
