Get Adjacent Polygons Wizard

Determines for each polygon of the dataset the adjacent polygons and stores the result in the attribute table as a comma delimited string.

Inputs:

• A polygon feature layer. 
• Link Field - the field which values will be used to save in the adjacency string

Outputs:

• New polygon feature class. Two fields will be added to the attribute table
  • [ET_Adj] - the field that will contain the adjacency string. 
  • [ET_Count] - the count of the adjacent polygons for each polygon

Notes:

• The input polygon feature class should not have overlapping polygons. If overlaps are present - new polygons will be created from them (Clean will be performed) before collecting the adjacent polygons. 
• A polygon is considered adjacent to another polygon only if the two polygons have a common boundary. Two polygons that share only a common point are not considered adjacent 

Example:

If the function is performed to the US States dataset. The results will be:
