[00:00:00.000]So hi, today I'm gonna introduce ArcGIS Pro,
[00:00:07.360]the newer ArcGIS desktop software.
[00:00:13.540]So if you're an experienced JS user,
[00:00:16.960]if you're familiar with ArcMap,
[00:00:20.160]then you probably know that ArcMap is being phased out
[00:00:23.480]and replaced by ArcGIS Pro.
[00:00:27.120]So if you're a new user, that's great.
[00:00:29.340]You can just start with ArcGIS Pro,
[00:00:32.260]the current ArcGIS desktop software
[00:00:35.920]that allows us to create and edit geospatial data,
[00:00:41.060]create maps, and perform spatial analysis.
[00:00:45.200]Now let's open the software.
[00:00:48.460]So the reason I want to start with opening the software
[00:00:54.030]is that you see it's initializing.
[00:00:56.930]So sometimes if your credential is expired,
[00:01:03.170]you need to, if you get stuck in that earlier,
[00:01:07.970]earlier when like graphics,
[00:01:12.330]then you need to put in your sign-in credentials
[00:01:15.590]to activate and get into the software.
[00:01:19.870]Now that we are in the software,
[00:01:21.730]you can see that on the top right corner,
[00:01:27.130]it shows my credential for the software.
[00:01:31.390]I get my credential from UNL.
[00:01:34.850]And here, you can see you got different options.
[00:01:39.590]First is to create a new project
[00:01:43.330]or open recent projects.
[00:01:46.870]If you want to create a new object,
[00:01:49.730]you can either create it with this map
[00:01:54.530]that gives you a template
[00:01:56.410]or you can start without a template.
[00:02:04.030]Let's just choose this map.
[00:02:07.030]So let me name the project as demo
[00:02:11.270]and you can really navigate and save it
[00:02:15.070]to the folder you desire it to be saved.
[00:02:19.830]So here, I want to save it to my OneDrive folder.
[00:02:25.110]So I'll navigate to this folder and click OK
[00:02:32.130]so that it will create a folder for this project
[00:02:35.890]but also it will create a geodatabase
[00:02:40.250]that will store any new data generated from this project.
[00:02:47.810]So any new data generated will be stored
[00:02:53.370]into the geodatabase created along with this project.
[00:02:59.370]So by the way, a geodatabase,
[00:03:01.070]you can insert that as a folder
[00:03:03.310]for all the different layers of geospatial data
[00:03:07.430]that you work with and store together within ArcGIS.
[00:03:14.850]So I click OK and it creates a new project for me.
[00:03:21.290]And now you can see this is the interface for ArcGIS Pro.
[00:03:30.280]So I create a project using that map option earlier.
[00:03:38.700]Again, so you can see new project.
[00:03:41.100]I can start with map or start without a template.
[00:03:44.400]So if I start with this,
[00:03:46.700]the good thing is it already gives me a map here.
[00:03:51.860]You see this window and this to start with.
[00:03:55.860]So this is where I can basically load the data sets
[00:04:02.680]I have here and we'll get displayed here.
[00:04:07.380]And this map in ArcGIS will be where all the data sets
[00:04:13.840]are put together and I can run analysis
[00:04:17.160]and choose what kind of symbols
[00:04:21.940]I want to represent the different layers and features.
[00:04:28.690]And with ArcGIS Pro, you can see that the map
[00:04:33.210]comes with a base map.
[00:04:38.990]If you go here, click here, the base map,
[00:04:42.830]you can actually switch among different options
[00:04:46.970]for base map, for instance, you can switch to imagery
[00:04:52.200]or there are different options based on what do you want
[00:04:57.260]like the visual effect you desire
[00:05:00.120]or I can switch to light gray canvas.
[00:05:05.260]Now it would be something like this.
[00:05:12.400]And alternatively, I can start without a template.
[00:05:16.100]That means that I will just manually insert a map here
[00:05:22.320]in order to load my data.
[00:05:28.390]So let me demonstrate what will happen
[00:05:31.150]if you start without a template.
[00:05:38.170]So it will be totally empty and you need to insert a map
[00:05:46.130]in order to actually put in any data.
[00:05:49.990]A map here will be basically a data container,
[00:05:54.850]a temporary data container for you to load
[00:05:57.830]all the layers of data and to perform
[00:06:00.750]any sort of operation in ArcGIS.
[00:06:05.790]So I can insert a new map.
[00:06:08.990]And now you can see that again, it comes with the base map
[00:06:12.350]and now I can start to load data into this map
[00:06:16.990]or this data container.
[00:06:21.560]So for ArcMap users, you probably will remember
[00:06:27.100]that in ArcMap this is called a data frame
[00:06:29.880]but in ArcGIS Pro, this is just called a map.
[00:06:36.300]So here I want to just pause
[00:06:38.760]and talk about ArcGIS Pro in general
[00:06:41.540]and some of the advantages it has
[00:06:44.380]over the older version of ArcMap.
[00:06:48.440]So some of you might be very experienced users of ArcMap.
[00:06:54.280]So ArcGIS Pro compared to ArcMap
[00:06:57.560]has this ribbon-based interface.
[00:07:02.800]So this is a more contemporary user interface.
[00:07:08.240]This should be more friendly to new users
[00:07:12.980]but also it has a few advantages over ArcMap,
[00:07:17.180]the older version of the ArcGIS desktop software
[00:07:21.060]because it will be faster
[00:07:23.580]because it can better utilize the computer software
[00:07:26.400]and utilize the bigger brands of our current computers.
[00:07:32.880]And it can include some new tools as we will see later.
[00:07:39.160]And also one nice thing with ArcGIS Pro
[00:07:42.200]is that it's better integrated
[00:07:46.360]with the whole history ecosystem.
[00:07:49.120]History, which is a company
[00:07:51.020]which create the software ArcGIS Pro.
[00:07:56.540]It also provides the service,
[00:08:00.260]software as service called ArcGIS Online
[00:08:03.680]where you can publish data, edit data
[00:08:07.080]or analyze spatial data.
[00:08:10.060]So this online platform called ArcGIS Online
[00:08:13.820]and another online platform called ArcGIS Enterprise
[00:08:18.420]for companies and big organizations.
[00:08:22.440]But so ArcGIS Map will be,
[00:08:26.340]it is able to integrate with all these services.
[00:08:35.240]So now let's get, so this is why ArcGIS Pro is,
[00:08:41.700]I will say it's more powerful than the older version.
[00:08:46.900]If you're an experienced user of ArcMap,
[00:08:50.680]it's just a matter of time of getting used
[00:08:53.340]to the new user interface.
[00:08:56.560]But for newer, for new JS users,
[00:09:01.640]you can just start without thinking about ArcMap at all.
[00:09:08.430]So now let's have an overview of the software interface.
[00:09:19.020]Again, project, you can create project
[00:09:21.300]or open an existing project and map.
[00:09:28.430]This tab has all the functions
[00:09:32.510]or all the tools we have to add data
[00:09:36.790]or change the base map or select features and et cetera.
[00:09:48.640]And insert, it allows me to insert a new map
[00:09:53.800]or for instance, I can also insert a second map.
[00:09:57.560]So now I have two maps here,
[00:10:03.110]basically thinking about it as two separate data containers
[00:10:08.130]that I can create one map here and another map here
[00:10:12.690]and I can run analysis,
[00:10:15.290]basically separate analysis in these two maps.
[00:10:21.270]But also once you load your data, run your analysis,
[00:10:25.290]you may want to create a map,
[00:10:28.410]a real map like to share it as an image to other people.
[00:10:37.070]So you can insert a new layout
[00:10:39.610]to basically do cartography and create maps.
[00:10:46.670]So note here that this term map is a little bit confusing.
[00:10:51.190]Sometimes people use map to refer
[00:10:53.330]to the actual final output that we may print out
[00:10:56.810]or to send out as a digital form that image map.
[00:11:01.190]But here, the map here in ArcGIS Pro again
[00:11:06.630]is that data container that allows us to manipulate data
[00:11:10.570]and think about how to represent all the features
[00:11:15.950]using different symbols or run analysis.
[00:11:18.710]It's different from the final output
[00:11:22.930]of that map that we can print out and share.
[00:11:28.030]So again, to do cartography
[00:11:30.430]and to create a final map product,
[00:11:35.870]you need to insert a new layout.
[00:11:38.410]You can choose any kind of the size,
[00:11:41.030]for instance, letter here.
[00:11:45.050]This will allow you to,
[00:11:46.730]this will be the canvas for you to create that map.
[00:11:50.130]So for now, I'll close this and this second map.
[00:11:56.870]And I will just have one map here.
[00:12:05.380]And now let's look at the different tabs.
[00:12:09.940]Note that when you select,
[00:12:13.940]for instance, when you select map here,
[00:12:16.880]you see there's all these functions,
[00:12:19.500]you have this map tab.
[00:12:22.140]If I go back and reopen that layout,
[00:12:25.060]I just created this is for us to design a real map.
[00:12:30.860]And you see that the tab,
[00:12:32.760]the available options here in this ribbon has changed.
[00:12:37.200]So here, we no longer have that map tab.
[00:12:39.980]Instead, we have a layout tab that has all the functions
[00:12:43.760]that allow us to create that map we want to share.
[00:12:53.800]So that means depending on the object,
[00:12:58.140]we select in the software,
[00:13:00.680]we might see different options in this ribbon.
[00:13:05.440]So different functions will pop out on different tabs.
[00:13:10.260]Again, if I click map here,
[00:13:12.540]you see that this tab changed to map.
[00:13:25.990]So another thing is,
[00:13:32.460]I'm sorry, you have noticed that
[00:13:35.800]on the right side of the software,
[00:13:38.380]there's this catalog pin,
[00:13:43.050]and the map we just created,
[00:13:45.410]the data container basically,
[00:13:47.470]and the layout we just created for designing maps.
[00:13:52.510]So these are all listed here.
[00:13:56.830]So whenever you accidentally like close one,
[00:14:02.230]for instance, if I close a map,
[00:14:04.150]I can always reopen it here,
[00:14:09.840]and I can drag it back.
[00:14:15.240]So in this catalog pin,
[00:14:16.780]it shows basically the object based,
[00:14:20.600]that means the maps and layouts you have created
[00:14:23.380]within this project, the toolboxes.
[00:14:29.760]So these are the tools that allow you
[00:14:32.600]to run various kinds of spatial analysis and database.
[00:14:38.280]So note here that since you created a new object,
[00:14:42.720]a new project, it will automatically create a geodatabase
[00:14:46.740]that will store all the new datasets
[00:14:51.080]that generated from this project,
[00:14:53.520]unless you specified otherwise.
[00:15:01.840]And note that it also can allow you
[00:15:04.520]to link to external folder.
[00:15:08.420]So if, for instance, you already have some existing data,
[00:15:15.730]so here, let me demonstrate,
[00:15:18.570]you can link to an existing folder.
[00:15:23.570]It can be so in your local computer.
[00:15:27.930]So here I click insert tab,
[00:15:30.690]and then I click this button called add folder.
[00:15:34.430]So you can navigate to the folder
[00:15:37.710]that you want to create, to link to,
[00:15:40.670]basically the folder where you store the data in.
[00:15:44.950]So here I choose to link to this folder
[00:15:48.050]where it has all the data.
[00:15:55.110]So I can link to this folder, click okay.
[00:15:59.210]And now you can see that in this catalog pin,
[00:16:02.870]and in the list of folders,
[00:16:05.130]this data folder appears, and I click spin.
[00:16:10.630]It will show all the data I have already put there.
[00:16:18.390]So these are the shape files I have.
[00:16:24.510]So these two are the census data
[00:16:27.830]for medium household income levels
[00:16:30.670]by census track or,
[00:16:34.950]and this is a shape file for the states.
[00:16:38.730]So you can actually, if I want to load this data,
[00:16:43.650]I can double click or drag it into this map.
[00:16:48.430]You can see that this data is displayed
[00:16:52.670]and each polygon represents a state.
[00:17:01.760]If you're familiar with the older ARK map,
[00:17:05.620]so you might know this associated software
[00:17:10.260]called ARK catalog.
[00:17:12.220]Note that with ArcGIS Pro,
[00:17:15.280]it integrates everything together.
[00:17:17.700]You will not have separate software,
[00:17:20.320]you do not have to go to a separate software
[00:17:23.380]to manage your data.
[00:17:27.440]So I would say that's also a nice thing about ArcGIS Pro.
[00:17:31.120]And this is really friendly to new users
[00:17:34.120]that everything you need for working
[00:17:39.620]with just special data using your computer,
[00:17:43.000]like anything you need is all packed
[00:17:46.300]into this ArcGIS Pro software.
[00:17:54.850]So this is the data set,
[00:17:58.970]which is the polygons for the state boundaries.
[00:18:03.010]If I don't need this, I can right click on this.
[00:18:07.870]So you see the right, the left side,
[00:18:11.150]there's this contents pen
[00:18:13.630]that lists all the data layers within this map
[00:18:18.650]or this data container.
[00:18:23.970]So if I open that second map,
[00:18:26.450]you see that it has nothing here, right?
[00:18:29.170]This is a separate data container.
[00:18:32.370]So I close this and go back to my map here.
[00:18:36.030]I can just remove this.
[00:18:39.170]If I don't need it,
[00:18:40.510]and now let me load this income data from Census.
[00:18:46.510]So I can just drag here.
[00:18:53.030]So this is income level data for Lincoln, Nebraska.
[00:18:59.610]You see with each polygon represents a Census block group.
[00:19:07.710]And you can see that it has the income level.
[00:19:13.270]So this is an annual household income, US dollars.
[00:19:17.050]So for distances block group is about 55K.
[00:19:23.750]So this is the data.
[00:19:28.920]If you don't like how this is displayed,
[00:19:31.800]like I don't like this because I want the base map
[00:19:35.280]to kind of also shown to be shown here in the map.
[00:19:41.420]So I can change the symbology meaning that
[00:19:45.160]how do we, what symbols we use
[00:19:50.460]to represent each of this polygon
[00:19:52.760]or each of the Census block group here.
[00:19:57.980]So I can right click here and go to symbology here.
[00:20:03.860]And you can see that a different page shows here.
[00:20:10.180]Alternatively, you can click this feature layer tab here.
[00:20:15.160]This is, this appears when you select this layer.
[00:20:21.260]This is a feature layer and you go there
[00:20:24.920]and also it can open this symbology pen.
[00:20:32.540]So right now it's simple symbology,
[00:20:35.520]meaning that it's just used this purplish color
[00:20:38.960]and the black line to delineate the boundaries
[00:20:43.240]for each of the neighborhood.
[00:20:46.200]And I want to change that.
[00:20:48.180]What I want is that I want to use different colors
[00:20:52.660]to show the income level of each neighborhood here.
[00:20:58.120]So I will click on this drop down menu
[00:21:01.740]and I choose graduated colors.
[00:21:05.660]And you see that there are different options to visualize
[00:21:09.000]and that depends on your data and what you want to do.
[00:21:13.640]So here, I think is a reasonable choice
[00:21:17.720]to use graduated colors to represent
[00:21:20.420]the variation of income levels.
[00:21:22.760]So I choose this and it automatically detect
[00:21:27.200]the field or the variable
[00:21:32.060]that should be used for visualization.
[00:21:35.320]So this one, this is again annual household income level
[00:21:41.660]for each neighborhood.
[00:21:45.370]And there are different methods to visualize this.
[00:21:47.790]You can use quantile or you can use the natural breaks.
[00:21:52.650]Basically, ArcGIS will detect the using a standard
[00:21:57.290]what is a good way to break up the income levels
[00:22:01.030]instead of because the income for each neighborhood
[00:22:05.490]is a number.
[00:22:06.750]We need to divide all these numbers into a few classes.
[00:22:12.290]For instance, I might use five classes like here
[00:22:16.550]to show and five different colors
[00:22:24.640]correspondingly to show the different income level.
[00:22:28.660]I can use this or quantile or equal break
[00:22:33.600]or manual break where you can change
[00:22:36.920]how you want to divide the classes.
[00:22:42.500]And you can of course choose the different color scheme
[00:22:46.020]like green color scheme or this red color scheme.
[00:23:17.430]So you can see that I can just show
[00:23:19.950]the different color scheme to find one I like.
[00:23:24.490]So I'll stay with this for now.
[00:23:28.090]But also I can make it semi-transparent.
[00:23:35.130]You see this transparency, you can use a field
[00:23:37.990]or you can just input a number here.
[00:23:44.080]So if you want it just to be 50% transparent,
[00:23:48.300]I click here and I just input a number 50 and click okay.
[00:23:54.460]You can see that the base map,
[00:23:56.640]we kind of be able to see through and see the base map.
[00:24:00.980]But of course you can adjust it
[00:24:03.260]or you can use actually a variable or a field
[00:24:07.520]as it is called in ArcGIS Pro
[00:24:09.940]to set the transparency value for every single polygon.
[00:24:18.080]So here I go back and set it to non-transparent.
[00:24:22.500]So this is the symbology I want to stay with.
[00:24:28.740]So this is loading existing data
[00:24:32.800]and to choose the symbology
[00:24:35.200]about how to viralize the data in the map.
[00:24:42.180]So sometimes you might want to create your own dataset.
[00:24:49.310]You can do this by go to the catalog pen.
[00:24:53.970]So to create a new dataset,
[00:24:56.610]you first need to create basically an empty dataset
[00:25:04.230]and then you are with catalog pens.
[00:25:09.410]So that you create the file,
[00:25:13.650]then in ArcGIS Pro you open that file
[00:25:16.210]and you load that data and it will be empty
[00:25:18.750]and then you begin to draw the features there.
[00:25:23.690]So let me demonstrate how that works.
[00:25:27.630]So here I want to create a new dataset.
[00:25:33.230]So let me disable this.
[00:25:36.470]So this is the setting of Lincoln.
[00:25:39.250]So maybe you're interested in the water system
[00:25:42.510]and you want to create a dataset
[00:25:46.930]or digitize all the lakes in Lincoln.
[00:25:51.050]There are a few lakes here in Lincoln.
[00:25:54.130]So you might want to create a dataset
[00:25:57.910]that have polygons representing the lakes.
[00:26:02.950]You can use the base map to trace the boundaries
[00:26:07.150]of each of the lakes here.
[00:26:10.770]So how to do that?
[00:26:12.150]First, I need to create an empty dataset.
[00:26:15.450]I can go to the catalog pen here
[00:26:18.410]and right click on it
[00:26:21.510]and you see I choose new
[00:26:25.270]and then it lets you select the different options.
[00:26:32.310]So you might want to create a shape file.
[00:26:38.110]So this is the data format for vector datasets.
[00:26:43.190]So since we want to use polygons to represent the map,
[00:26:48.090]so it will be vector dataset
[00:26:49.450]and we can use shape file to store it.
[00:26:56.220]Alternatively, you can just create a feature class
[00:27:00.200]within the geodatabase.
[00:27:02.740]Then you go to the database here
[00:27:04.900]and you right click here,
[00:27:07.600]you can see you can create a feature class.
[00:27:10.880]It's the same thing.
[00:27:12.140]You just create a new data file.
[00:27:15.780]But this time, since it's within a geodatabase,
[00:27:19.220]you can think about it as you created
[00:27:21.940]just a new layer within the geodatabase
[00:27:25.540]or a new data file within it.
[00:27:27.660]Versus here, you also, you just create,
[00:27:31.580]you can create a shape file,
[00:27:33.120]which is a different format for the vector data.
[00:27:38.000]But here, since you're creating it
[00:27:40.340]in just an ordinary folder,
[00:27:43.980]so you can see this new dataset outside ArcGIS Pro.
[00:27:54.200]With geodatabase, on the other hand,
[00:27:57.080]if you created a vector dataset here
[00:28:01.680]using the feature class format,
[00:28:05.780]then you will not be able to see this individual dataset
[00:28:11.440]outside ArcGIS Pro.
[00:28:18.010]So here, for instance, we create a dataset called lakes
[00:28:25.790]and it will be polygon and we click finish
[00:28:30.530]and you can see that it will show up here.
[00:28:38.220]But if you go to the folder for the geodatabase,
[00:28:43.060]you will not be able to see it.
[00:28:45.440]The names of the files are not readable.
[00:28:48.200]So the geodatabase basically pack
[00:28:50.600]all the different data layers
[00:28:53.640]into the single geodatabase.
[00:29:01.370]Now I can delete that.
[00:29:06.270]So for here, I choose to create a separate data file
[00:29:11.810]because so as shape file,
[00:29:15.190]shape file is a commonly used data format
[00:29:19.450]that can be opened not just by ArcGIS,
[00:29:23.830]but also by some other,
[00:29:25.530]a lot of other JS software like QGIS.
[00:29:29.270]So if you have colleagues
[00:29:30.850]who use other JS software,
[00:29:34.150]you can create this dataset using the shape file,
[00:29:37.850]which is more compatible with non-issory products.
[00:29:48.110]So I can write, let me right click here and new
[00:29:52.550]and I can create a shape file
[00:29:54.430]and I will name it called lakes.
[00:30:00.470]So this is a location and feature class name.
[00:30:05.250]So I'll just say lakes the SHP,
[00:30:11.530]SHP will be indicate the format will be shape file
[00:30:19.080]and the coordinate system,
[00:30:21.160]I need to choose a coordinate system.
[00:30:24.480]I choose to use the same system as a current map.
[00:30:34.040]And you can always check the coordinate system here,
[00:30:38.220]properties and you see that the coordinate system right now
[00:30:42.400]we're using is WGS 1984.
[00:30:46.060]So we will use that coordinate system
[00:30:48.280]to create our, to create all the like features.
[00:30:52.820]So I click around and this new layer
[00:30:57.960]will be automatically added to this map.
[00:31:05.900]And when you go to that folder here,
[00:31:15.380]since I created a shape file,
[00:31:18.700]so this will be a standalone data file.
[00:31:24.800]You can see I have the shape file for the lakes layer.
[00:31:30.340]You notice that there are multiple files here.
[00:31:34.400]So for shape file,
[00:31:35.520]it will appear as a single file in the catalog pen here,
[00:31:40.960]but it is actually stored in the hard drive
[00:31:45.880]as separate files
[00:31:48.720]and you need all these files together
[00:31:51.460]in order for the shape file to work.
[00:31:55.860]So now let us get back to RGS.
[00:32:01.910]And now you can see that it's empty.
[00:32:04.170]So I will remove this one
[00:32:06.870]and this is the one that I created and removed
[00:32:10.690]and deleted within the geodatabase.
[00:32:13.930]So this lakes, if I click on right click
[00:32:18.030]and click on properties, you can see I go to sources.
[00:32:21.290]You can see that it shows you the format,
[00:32:24.290]it's shape file and it's stored in that data folder
[00:32:28.570]as a standalone data file.
[00:32:32.090]And you can see the coordinate system here is WGS 1984.
[00:32:42.600]So now I want to create new features
[00:32:45.040]to represent the two lakes here.
[00:32:52.190]So we choose or activate this layer,
[00:32:57.850]this lake layer and we go to edit.
[00:33:02.970]So we need to make sure that the activated layer
[00:33:06.770]is the layer we want to edit or create new features in.
[00:33:12.130]If you click on this layer,
[00:33:15.130]then if you want to create features or add features,
[00:33:18.730]all these edits will be stored in this layer,
[00:33:23.610]the income layer, which is not what we want.
[00:33:26.370]We want to create features in the lakes layer.
[00:33:30.950]So make sure this is activated and we go to edit.
[00:33:35.710]And now we can click create to create new features.
[00:33:41.270]So you can see that on the right side,
[00:33:45.390]there's this create features pen that appears
[00:33:48.090]and I just click on that here
[00:33:53.130]and I can choose what kind of feature I want to draw here.
[00:34:00.950]So again, so we go to edit
[00:34:05.470]create features, we expand here
[00:34:08.050]and now we just choose whether you want to just draw
[00:34:13.230]a polygon or you want to draw a circle or a rectangle.
[00:34:17.610]So here I choose to draw a polygon feature using,
[00:34:20.570]like I click on this button
[00:34:22.830]and now you can see that you may not be able to see it
[00:34:27.850]very clearly in the video,
[00:34:29.710]but my cursor turn into this cross fade
[00:34:34.030]and I can just click along the boundaries of the lake
[00:34:39.530]to create this polygon shape.
[00:34:47.180]So since this is for demonstration purpose,
[00:34:49.560]I will not create a perfectly aligned polygon,
[00:34:55.080]it will just be a rough approximation.
[00:35:00.100]So once you're done, you just double click
[00:35:02.640]and now you see that a new feature has been created
[00:35:06.480]for this lake, representing this lake.
[00:35:09.380]And now I want to also create a feature
[00:35:11.780]representing this homes lake.
[00:35:20.830]So I just click along the boundaries of homes lake here
[00:35:27.650]and as you can see that and I double click on it
[00:35:33.730]once I'm done, another feature has been created.
[00:35:40.180]If you right click on the lakes layer here
[00:35:44.400]and go to attribute table, note that.
[00:35:48.640]Now there are two features
[00:35:50.000]and it has some basic attributes.
[00:35:55.410]You may want to add some additional attributes.
[00:35:58.390]For instance, I want to add the attributes.
[00:36:02.970]I want to add the lake name.
[00:36:11.480]So firstly, let me save the edits.
[00:36:15.000]I'm okay with these two features created.
[00:36:18.860]So I just save.
[00:36:22.880]So now my data file for lakes, this file,
[00:36:26.840]this data layer will permanently have
[00:36:30.620]these two features stored in it.
[00:36:35.920]So it's still in the edit, like create new feature mode.
[00:36:39.220]You can press the ESC key in your keyboard
[00:36:44.640]to exit the edit mode, the create new feature mode.
[00:36:52.790]And now I want to add a new field
[00:36:56.450]for to record the, again, to record the lake names.
[00:37:07.680]Let me zoom to, so let me right click here
[00:37:14.370]and zoom to the layer that shows all the two.
[00:37:17.930]So both features I just created here
[00:37:20.430]for the two lakes.
[00:37:22.470]And now let me, let's go to this attribute table here
[00:37:26.070]and I can click add this add button to add a new field.
[00:37:37.150]I can, so the field should be named.
[00:37:40.670]So it will store the name of the lake
[00:37:42.930]and the data type, of course,
[00:37:45.610]we need it to be text to store the names.
[00:37:49.790]And now let's close this and click save.
[00:37:55.770]And you can see a new field appears.
[00:37:59.030]For the first feature here, I want,
[00:38:02.950]so this lake, if we turn it off, this lake
[00:38:08.250]is called Capitol Beach Lake.
[00:38:13.190]So let me name it here.
[00:38:21.170]And if once you type, once you press enter,
[00:38:25.510]this name will be stored.
[00:38:28.950]And now let me go to this other feature here.
[00:38:32.410]This is called Holmes Lake.
[00:38:34.930]So again, I double click here
[00:38:36.790]and I just input Holmes Lake.
[00:38:44.300]And I double click in the blank here.
[00:38:47.240]And now these two features are properly named.
[00:38:53.240]And you may want to save your edits again,
[00:38:56.080]since you could add a new field
[00:38:58.260]and assign the names of the lakes.
[00:39:02.380]So I go to edit tab and click save.
[00:39:06.520]So now all the edits are saved.
[00:39:09.860]So with ArcGISP Pro, the editing,
[00:39:15.060]the features are, it's way easier
[00:39:19.900]compared to the older version of the software, the ArcMap,
[00:39:24.500]because you can just edit and choose to save
[00:39:28.860]or not save versus the ArcMap,
[00:39:33.060]the now obsolete version of the ArcGISP.
[00:39:39.980]You really need to, it's quite clumsy.
[00:39:44.600]You need to enable the edit or disable the edit.
[00:39:48.640]If you don't enable the edit,
[00:39:50.000]you won't be able to do anything.
[00:39:51.620]So with ArcGISP Pro, it's simpler and more intuitive.
[00:39:57.040]Just forgot all about that with ArcMap.
[00:40:00.400]Now in ArcGISP Pro.
[00:40:02.600]So if you want to edit a feature or edit,
[00:40:06.540]you just do the edits.
[00:40:08.360]For instance, if you want to change the name of the lake,
[00:40:13.140]you just double click and type a different name
[00:40:16.260]and you just save the edits here.
[00:40:19.500]And that will be all you need to do.
[00:40:21.640]Or if you want to add a new feature,
[00:40:24.280]just go to the edit tab and create a new feature.
[00:40:29.260]And you create a third feature.
[00:40:31.100]I can create a third feature here just randomly
[00:40:33.780]and will appear here, or I can just delete here
[00:40:37.940]by clicking on this row here, right click and delete.
[00:40:45.100]And this feature will be deleted.
[00:40:51.920]I can save all the edits again.
[00:40:55.360]So this is creating a new data set in ArcGISP Pro.
[00:40:59.960]And of course, you can also edit in the existing data.
[00:41:04.810]For instance, for the census data,
[00:41:06.870]I downloaded this from the US Census website.
[00:41:11.390]So this is existing data,
[00:41:13.130]but you can also edit this data.
[00:41:16.410]So you can go to the edit tab and modify.
[00:41:20.170]You can choose this.
[00:41:24.980]For instance, if I want to modify the feature here,
[00:41:32.640]so since we click on this modify,
[00:41:37.000]another pen appears here called modified features.
[00:41:40.960]For instance, we can move this polygon,
[00:41:48.590]or I go back and we can also like edit this shape here.
[00:41:58.610]I can just edit all the vertices here
[00:42:01.910]so that the shape actually changed.
[00:42:06.290]So of course, these edits are not what I want,
[00:42:10.150]so I just go to edit and click discard.
[00:42:14.170]So just to demonstrate like how to modify existing data.
[00:42:19.170]If you want to modify the attributes,
[00:42:21.890]you can go to the attribute table
[00:42:23.470]and just click on any of the value
[00:42:26.570]and type in your value
[00:42:27.790]and make sure that after the edit,
[00:42:30.230]you go to edit tab and save it.
[00:42:39.920]So now let's remove the legs layer
[00:42:42.660]since this is not what we need for the following steps.
[00:42:48.460]Close the create features pen.
[00:42:51.600]And now let's go back to the catalog pen.
[00:42:54.940]You can go by clicking here,
[00:42:56.720]but if you don't find it here, don't worry.
[00:42:59.060]You just go to the view tab
[00:43:01.040]and this is the catalog pen.
[00:43:03.600]If you click on it, it will pop out on the right side.
[00:43:11.090]So remember I mentioned that earlier,
[00:43:13.610]that one I think is that ArcGest Pro
[00:43:15.830]has seamless interrogation
[00:43:17.650]with the online jazz platform
[00:43:22.190]by history called ArcGest online.
[00:43:25.490]So if you go to the catalog,
[00:43:27.510]the this tab called portal
[00:43:30.230]and you click this button for ArcGest online.
[00:43:35.710]So here, but the nice thing is it allows you to search
[00:43:39.510]and load any data that people put and publish
[00:43:43.910]in the ArcGest online platform.
[00:43:48.030]Say if I want to find the crime dataset for Lincoln.
[00:43:53.350]So I'll just type crime Lincoln.
[00:43:57.970]And this is a dataset someone else put there,
[00:44:02.710]a crime dataset from ArcGest online.
[00:44:06.890]I don't need to download it.
[00:44:08.710]I can just drag it here into my map
[00:44:11.610]and it takes a little bit time to load.
[00:44:15.390]And you can see that it just got loaded
[00:44:18.490]into my local map here, which is really nice.
[00:44:22.950]You basically have ArcGest online,
[00:44:25.510]all the dataset there available for you to load.
[00:44:31.150]As long as you're,
[00:44:34.110]and of course you need to have access to ArcGest online.
[00:44:38.070]So if your credentials have the ArcGest online access,
[00:44:45.410]then you should be able to use
[00:44:46.930]this really nice function here
[00:44:49.970]for finding and loading new data.
[00:44:55.650]So this crime data, each point represents a crime
[00:45:00.490]and we open the attribute table.
[00:45:08.860]You can see that it has address of the crime
[00:45:11.560]and what type of crime it is.
[00:45:13.780]It's larceny, auto theft, and et cetera.
[00:45:22.710]So here, this is all about whether you load existing data
[00:45:28.290]that you have in your local folder or create data,
[00:45:32.110]modify existing data, or you can load data
[00:45:35.210]from ArcGest online, so catalog pin.
[00:45:40.030]And now let's just briefly show,
[00:45:43.330]work through how to run analysis.
[00:45:47.990]Say if I want to run special analysis,
[00:45:50.510]I want to see where the hotspots are, the crime hotspots.
[00:45:55.250]I want to run the analysis with this crime dataset.
[00:46:00.580]I go to analysis and I can open the toolbox.
[00:46:06.320]It has various tools here and you can search for other tools.
[00:46:12.400]So note here, you can go to the toolbox,
[00:46:14.680]it lists all the tools that ArcGest Pro has.
[00:46:24.700]So alternatively, if you just add,
[00:46:27.640]so make sure the crime layer is activated
[00:46:33.070]and you go to analysis here.
[00:46:37.150]So again, the analysis tab.
[00:46:39.930]So the toolbox, the tools button lists,
[00:46:43.050]all the tools ArcGest Pro have.
[00:46:46.330]And here you see these buttons,
[00:46:48.210]these buttons listed are some of the common tools
[00:46:52.130]people may use for vector datasets.
[00:46:55.990]And here it has tools for thruster analysis, et cetera.
[00:47:02.690]And here it has network analysis and all these tools here.
[00:47:09.510]So here I want to see all the hotspots here.
[00:47:14.110]So I opened the tools here and I can type kernel density
[00:47:20.030]and it brings us this tool.
[00:47:23.810]So now this is the tool that allows us to basically
[00:47:33.840]evaluate the density of cases for the different areas.
[00:47:39.440]So the input point is crime.
[00:47:42.120]And now the search radius, I will say is 500 meters.
[00:47:47.140]And I just click around.
[00:47:56.060]It gives me a create a raster dataset,
[00:47:59.280]give you the surface to representing the density
[00:48:03.040]of the crime.
[00:48:07.280]As you can see, if you zoom in,
[00:48:08.520]you can see it's pixelated.
[00:48:10.960]So when a pixel has darker color,
[00:48:14.080]it means it has a higher density of crime.
[00:48:23.510]So if we change the search radius to say two kilometers,
[00:48:31.510]and we'll run again with different parameters,
[00:48:33.530]we'll get slightly different outputs.
[00:48:49.920]I click around and let me drag it to the top
[00:48:56.220]so that we can see.
[00:48:57.340]And now you can see it generalized the patterns
[00:49:06.060]at higher levels, instead of like showing
[00:49:08.940]the smaller clusters.
[00:49:12.220]So here is more generalized and showing
[00:49:14.720]that the biggest cluster is here in the downtown area
[00:49:19.700]of Lincoln, of course with the higher density
[00:49:21.880]and the more commercial activities.
[00:49:29.480]And note that if I disable here,
[00:49:33.830]this is also where the average,
[00:49:40.490]the medium household income levels
[00:49:43.010]tend to be lower in these neighborhoods.
[00:49:48.150]And the welfare neighborhoods
[00:49:49.430]have fewer crime cases reported.
[00:49:58.640]So if I want, so now that I have done my analysis,
[00:50:02.720]now is the time for me to create a map.
[00:50:07.420]So let's start with insert a layout.
[00:50:10.720]We already did this and let's do that again
[00:50:13.840]to just practice.
[00:50:15.820]So insert the layout, and this will be the canvas
[00:50:19.560]for us to design a map and publish it.
[00:50:24.750]So right now it's blank.
[00:50:26.050]So we need to insert, click the insert button again,
[00:50:30.110]and we need to insert a new map frame.
[00:50:35.390]So I choose this one so that we'll automatically
[00:50:40.790]decide on the scale, the map scale,
[00:50:45.330]and shows the map I just created here.
[00:50:50.070]You can see that once I draw that polygon here,
[00:50:54.110]it creates a data frame and shows the map.
[00:51:00.760]I can adjust the data, I can adjust the map frame
[00:51:04.180]so that it fits the canvas better.
[00:51:16.530]And if you want to adjust the map itself,
[00:51:23.430]for instance, if you want to move the content,
[00:51:26.730]if you just move this, if you just move this map frame.
[00:51:31.870]Instead, you need to click here,
[00:51:34.390]this new tab called map frame,
[00:51:36.390]since this object map frame is activated.
[00:51:41.010]Oh, sorry, no.
[00:51:42.850]So it's the layout.
[00:51:49.420]So go to layout tab, click activate.
[00:51:54.380]And now instead of moving this whole box,
[00:51:57.880]you get to kind of, let me do that again.
[00:52:05.800]So layout, activate.
[00:52:09.120]So now I need to, so I'm still in editing mode.
[00:52:15.060]So I'll just discard the edits.
[00:52:20.120]And I'll go to the layouts.
[00:52:26.150]I'm, right now I'm in the activation.
[00:52:33.050]So see that we got the cursor turns into a little hand
[00:52:36.890]and I can use this, my cursor to drag the map content
[00:52:42.030]to position it the way I like.
[00:52:46.010]And note that on the bottom, there are two lines here.
[00:52:51.630]So it's a little bit small.
[00:52:54.130]So let me make it a little bit bigger.
[00:52:57.230]So on this bottom left,
[00:53:01.010]let me show it here to make it bigger to 100%.
[00:53:04.890]You can see that this shows the data sources.
[00:53:08.110]This is the nice thing is it's automatically added
[00:53:11.410]based on the metadata of our data layers here.
[00:53:22.710]And you can add the different map elements
[00:53:26.110]like a legend, a scale, or a Norse arrow.
[00:53:30.390]To do that, the first close activation,
[00:53:34.330]again, map activation is, when it's activated,
[00:53:38.730]it allows us to adjust what's displayed
[00:53:42.130]within this map frame.
[00:53:44.890]I'll go to layout and close activation.
[00:53:48.910]And now when you move, it's just moving this map frame,
[00:53:54.530]this whole box.
[00:54:08.820]So with map frame here, this map frame,
[00:54:16.120]so this is one object in the layout,
[00:54:19.520]but also we want to add more objects,
[00:54:22.320]including a Norse arrow, for instance,
[00:54:25.120]we go to the layout tab, oh, sorry,
[00:54:29.480]we go to the insert here to insert more objects
[00:54:34.180]like a Norse arrow here, I click on it and drag.
[00:54:44.200]Okay, so I choose, as you can see that when you click here,
[00:54:48.520]you get to choose the different types of Norse arrow.
[00:54:54.240]I just click here, click and drag,
[00:54:57.840]and a Norse arrow shows here.
[00:54:59.920]It got added as you can see a different object.
[00:55:03.540]You can see on the left side,
[00:55:06.780]all the objects within this layout or the canvas,
[00:55:11.820]the map canvas are shown here,
[00:55:15.160]Norse arrow and this map frame showing the map.
[00:55:19.440]We may also want to create a legend here,
[00:55:24.000]just telling people what are all these layers.
[00:55:29.260]So again, I just drag, click and drag,
[00:55:32.580]I will automatically create a legend here
[00:55:36.920]and I can adjust the size.
[00:55:49.770]As you can see that now these red dots disappear.
[00:55:54.530]So again, if I make it really small,
[00:55:57.030]you can see this meaning that there are more content
[00:56:00.190]to be displayed in the legend
[00:56:01.890]so that I drag it a little bit bigger
[00:56:03.890]so that everything will be displayed properly.
[00:56:13.620]And I can also insert a map title.
[00:56:26.550]So this is a little bit too big for me
[00:56:28.450]so I'll make the font a little bit smaller.
[00:56:33.550]Say I make it this big and I'll drag it here.
[00:56:43.010]I'll say Lincoln crime map
[00:56:52.920]and I'll adjust the position here.
[00:56:57.220]So okay, now I just save.
[00:56:59.380]So since this is a demonstration,
[00:57:01.860]this is far from perfect,
[00:57:03.500]but we can stop here
[00:57:08.220]and this will be our final output of the image map
[00:57:12.580]and we just save the project first.
[00:57:16.200]So right now, this is all temporary
[00:57:18.720]so I need to save the project as a permanent project file.
[00:57:23.960]I'll go to this folder, data folder to save the project
[00:57:27.820]and I name it as Lincoln crime project and save.
[00:57:36.260]So then now that this project has a name
[00:57:42.290]and this for this layout,
[00:57:45.050]if I want to export this as a map,
[00:57:49.350]I go to share tab
[00:57:53.010]and you can either print it out or export it
[00:57:56.830]as either a PDF or a geotiff or artboard
[00:58:02.830]or other formats.
[00:58:04.450]So I just click that button
[00:58:05.890]and you can see that it allows you to choose
[00:58:08.450]whether you want to export it as GPAD, PNG or PDF.
[00:58:13.530]It allows you to choose the quality of the image
[00:58:16.510]and you can just export it as an image.
[00:58:23.390]And now let's go to the folder where it is stored.
[00:58:46.660]So it's stored in the project folder
[00:58:50.000]so I need to go into this project
[00:58:52.360]and you can see that this layout one GPAD file,
[00:58:56.660]if you open it, this is a image map we just created.
[00:59:06.280]And another way to share it is just to publish it
[00:59:11.640]to the ArcGIS online, for instance,
[00:59:16.800]so that everyone online can see it.
[00:59:20.900]You can actually publish the entire project.
[00:59:26.840]So here, share this button,
[00:59:29.440]you can package all the data sets
[00:59:32.040]and all the project configuration you just did
[00:59:36.600]and into a portable file
[00:59:39.080]and that can be uploaded into the web.
[00:59:45.690]So this is how to load data, run analysis and create maps.
[00:59:52.250]So if you work in ArcMap before
[00:59:57.210]and if you have a project
[00:59:59.910]that have all the data sets already there
[01:00:05.370]and they're properly configured
[01:00:07.510]and you have your layout
[01:00:10.050]and you just want to open that old project,
[01:00:15.810]so you can just choose, go to the Insert tab
[01:00:22.520]and there is an option to import map.
[01:00:30.590]So this button here
[01:00:31.970]imports an existing map or a layout file
[01:00:37.730]that's created in ArcMap, the older ArcGIS software,
[01:00:44.350]older version of the software
[01:00:46.050]and you can use this button to import the project files
[01:00:50.210]into ArcGIS Pro.
[01:00:52.670]You will not be able to directly open it with ArcGIS Pro.
[01:00:56.870]That's one thing I want to mention.
[01:01:01.070]So that will be all for the introduction to ArcGIS Pro
[01:01:05.150]and hopefully you find this video helpful.
[01:01:07.930]Thank you.
