Why do you need or want to edit data in a GIS? For some the answer may seem obvious. But take a quick moment to think about it. One of my favorite questions that normally comes from managers or elected officials is “When will our GIS be done?”, as if a GIS is a house or a car. That is has a specific end or construction date. GIS is ever evolving and changing because the real world features it represents are always changing. Parcels are being merged, divided, bought and sold. New waterlines are being placed in service while others are removed. As long as the world we represent in our GIS is changing, we will need to update our GIS to reflect all those changes.

So what kind of data can we edit in our GIS? Again this may seem self evident but take some time to think that through as well. At a basic level there are two types of data we can edit with GIS, spatial and tabular. The spatial data may be raster or vector. The tabular data maybe attributes associated with points, lines or polygons or stand-alone tables. Then we can get more specialized and look at specific data formats such as shapefiles and geodatabases.

As mentioned before, we live in a world that is changing constantly. New features are being built, old ones are destroyed or retired, existing ones are sold or transformed. All of this needs to be reflected in our GIS. There are various ways you can create new data, such as:

• Digitize the data from existing paper maps or plans
• Use web resources
• Develop the data through the use of field data collection
• Import data from other digital formats such as AutoCAD drawing or excel spreadsheets

You will also find a need to update and edit existing data so that it shows the current condition or state of features. ArcGIS Pro allows you to do this as well.

You can:

• Add to or remove features from existing data
• Alter or modify existing feature shapes and locations
• Update attributes
• Add new data fields

In this course you will learn how to use ArcGIS Pro to perform spatial and attribute edits.

What to bring with you: Students will need to be assigned an ArcGIS Pro 3.x Basic or higher license from their organization prior to class. This should be verified prior to the start of class. If either requirement is a hardship for you, please contact KAM to discuss options for borrowing a device.

Cost: $370 if paying by check / $380 if paying by credit card | Minimum enrollment of 10 students by October 7, 2025

This full-day course takes you through the process of building a highly dynamic application utilizing sections and views, related tables, trigger and actions, attribute and spatial queries, editing, and more. Our introductory course was created to help instill muscle memory for navigating the Experience Builder interface, which is quite different from any of ESRI’s other application builders. With this new course, we take you through the steps necessary to build a high-level application that will impress your managers, users, and clients.

Course exercises will give you the hands-on experience you need to create interactive and dynamic functionality that provides flexibility for your users and information-rich applications.

Intended Audience: This course is intended for students who have some knowledge of ArcGIS Online and have already taken Introduction to Experience Builder or have been working in the application builder a little and want to take their skills to the next level. No scripting skills necessary.

What to bring with you: Students need to have their own computer hardware, an ArcGIS Online Creator user-type or higher, and a role of Publisher or higher assigned to their Creator user-type. Students will need to log into their organization’s AGOL account, so they need to have their AGOL URL and valid login available at the start of class. If either requirement is a hardship for you, please contact KAM to discuss options for borrowing a device.

Cost: $370 if paying by check / $380 if paying by credit card  | Minimum enrollment of 10 students by October 7, 2025
