This is Introduction to ArcGIS Pro, I'm Janet Reyes, the Geospatial Information Librarian here at UC Riverside. Happy to have you with us today for an hour of taking a look at this tool for GIS, that's becoming increasingly important to learn if you're going to be using GIS in most settings. So this is part of a workshop I used to do a two hour workshop where we had GIS basics, basic terminology, all that kinda thing; and then the section that we're seeing here today, which is more of like this particular tool and how you get to do some of the basic things. So hopefully this, this split will have worked out well for you all. I'm going to launch a poll in a little bit regarding what your experience is with GIS up-to-date. And we'll see if I'm able to, you know, have to linger on some of the parts of the workshop, or skip over them if everybody's up to speed on certain aspects. So anyway, welcome. This is being recorded. And if you've attended some of my workshops in the past, you'll know that I will be sending you the slides, which will have active links. I'll also be sending you a handout, which has a few additional links that are not in the slides. You'll be getting those. And also this is being recorded. It'll be available on the UCR Library YouTube channel in about a couple of weeks. So, if you ever want to watch this again, you'll have that ability to do so. Just real quick, I wanted to look at the UCR land acknowledgement. We respectfully acknowledge our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of the land, water, and air that UCR resides on. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands when we can. We hope to be back on campus at some point in the future, hopefully this year. We miss it. But, you can see at the bottom of the slide I have a link to a map that will show you the native lands throughout much of North America. So if you are curious about whose native lands you are currently finding yourself on, when you get the slides, you're welcome to click on that link and learn more. And let's see, this is what we'll cover today. And I want to end the slideshow real quick and, launch the poll I have going. Here it is. So I just wanted to know what your experience has been with ArcGIS Pro in particular, or with any tools. And this will help me understand, again, how much to linger on, or skip over in today's workshop. And I think rather than flipping back and forth, I'll just give this poll a minute before I switch back to the slides, because I don't think I can see them at the same time. Haven't figured that one out yet. Okay, so what I'm seeing mostly is that people don't have any experience with GIS, or have a little, know a little bit about it, but haven't used it. It's, it's really split among all these categories pretty well. So, I'll try to split the difference on all of this, so thank you for, for giving me those answers. That helps me understand. I'm going to end the polling now. And let me get back to my--- screen sharing--- slide, there it is. Okay, alright, here we go. So, we are going to cover most of these things. The things in blue are just going to be from the slides and me talking pretty much; but you see some things in black, and those are videos I've recorded that show me doing certain things in ArcGIS Pro. And you'll have the option of, assistant Margarita, who's going to put links in the chat. So if it's a bad experience for watching the video from my Zoom to your computer, you might be able to watch the videos directly from the link that's gonna be supplied. So just watch out for that, and hopefully this all works out well. And we'll try to keep on time and not go over two, over three o'clock, or whatever, as best we can. So, GIS fundamentals. Real quick, wanted to look at the definition of a GIS. It's a system that's designed to do all of these things. It's quite complex as you probably heard or have understood. And I think you're really smart today to take the time to just take a look at it with me in this workshop before signing up for say a, a class or a, you know, some kind of tutorial that's going to cost you money, or something like that, just, just to get a feel for what it's like, and, and determine whether this is something you would like to get into further. But lots of aspects to it: it is complicated; there is a steep learning curve; there's just no way around that. But hopefully this will be a nice little introduction at least today. And we need to talk real quickly, I was gonna leave these out, but I think it is important to touch on the types of data that's in a GIS. So there's two basic types: there's spatial data and there's tabular data. And for spatial data, there's two types of spatial data that can be in a GIS. The first type, and this is the type I think most people will be using, is a vector data. And this is basically points, lines, and polygons. So if you think back to geometry, and the Cartesian coordinate system, and the X-Y axis and, all that good stuff, where you could talk about the location of something based on what the coordinates were on the X and Y axis. Well, that's pretty much mapping. If you think about it, that's, that's how we convey where things are on a map. And so that's what vector geometry is all about. The other type of spatial data is raster data. And we're all pretty much familiar with this too. Because of screens and images and monitors and things like that. It's an array of cells or pixels, all of which have the same size, and they all have a value assigned to them. So raster data is really good for continuous data, like it can be imagery, it could be a sensor from a satellite, say that's doing a scan of temperature, or reflectance, or presence of some chemical in the atmosphere, you know, something like that. So that's, that's what raster is. It mostly comes into play in the natural sciences. But vector data is used pretty much everywhere. And then we have tabular data, right? So you've got the spatial stuff, which is what you can see on your screen, and then we have tabular data, which is what's behind the elements that you see on your screen. So there's a table called an attribute table. Every row corresponds to a feature on the map. Every column presents a different type of information about that feature on the map. And you can have, you can see from this example, it could be words, it could be numbers, it could be, you know, percentages any, anything you want in there. Hyperlinks. So that's the really cool part about GIS because you have all the power of a spreadsheet or a database behind it, and you can do all kinds of analyses and things in addition to seeing how things are represented on the map. And there's an ID number in the, in the attribute table that links to the file that controls how the spatial elements appear. And they both have the same ID number, that's how they get connected. All right, we'll take a quick look at GIS software options. So this is my- kind of way that I look at the GIS software landscape. Commercial is, you know, companies that make it. And ArcGIS is what we're looking at today and that's from a company called ESRI, we'll talk about them a little bit more in just a second. There are softwares that are free up to a point and then to get better functionality, you have to pay more; and Carto is an example of that. We have open source software, which is free, and all you could do is download it and you're ready to go. And QGIS and Grass are examples of that. And then there's this other category, I wasn't really sure where to put these things, but Google Earth is one. You can create maps using R, PostGIS, and other things. So that's the basic rundown. But we're talking today about a commercial product produced ESRI, which is a company that is just 15 miles away from UCR. And they are the market leader for sure. I don't know if they have more of the market than the rest put together, but it's, it's something similar to that if it, if it isn't that. So they, they really do dominate there. What is the difference between commercial ArcGIS and free QGIS? So, I do have another workshop that goes into that in more detail, but basically, QGIS does a lot of the same stuff that ArcGIS can do. It doesn't quite have all the different permutations and things, but it is really handy, and one good thing about QGIS is that it will work on a Mac. Whereas ArcGIS is designed for Windows only. And that's a big stumbling block right there. So I can talk to you more later if you're interested in more of that, those distinctions. But,- you're welcome. So here's something I copied off of the ESRI website. And you can see I've got a big arrow pointed to ArcGIS Pro, which is the application, or the product we're going to be talking about today. There's a skinnier arrow slightly above Pro and that's talking about that's pointing to ArcGIS Online, which is something you kinda need to know if you're going to use Pro. So we'll look, take a look about that, and talk a little bit about that as well. And then there's a faded arrow over to the left and that's pointing to ArcGIS Desktop, and I will explain in just a minute why that's a faded arrow. So this is ArcGIS Online. I don't know, I think a few of you at least have said, said in the poll that you have used it. Obviously by the name it allows you to make maps that can be shared online. And it has, it's pretty robust, but it doesn't have all the functionality of ArcGIS Pro. But it, because it has that online component, it is something that we do use when we install or access some of the things that you can do with ArcGIS Pro. So it is important to know about. This is ArcMap or ArcGIS desktop, and we'll talk a little bit more about the contrast with this and ArcGIS Pro in just a minute. But you can see across the top there's a lot of little icons that are, represent tools and then those are on toolbars, and there's plenty more toolbars that you could add if you wanted to-- in a, in a desktop session and stuff, so. But here is ArcGIS Pro. So now you see those, all those little icons, and- for tools are not up there. It's more like a Microsoft kind of setup where you have a, a ribbon with tabs and each tab has a collection of tools. Kind of a cleaner look to it. You see that you can have multiple views of the same project, including 3D views. So it's, it's got a lot of functionality that ArcGIS for desktop, or ArcMap, did not have. And you might be asking yourself, should I learn ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro? You may have heard people talking about ArcMap, and then there's this Pro thing, and what's the difference, and where should I go, and what should I do? Well ArcMap is the primary tool that ESRI has made available since 2000. And so that's, if people have learned GIS in the last 20 years, they've learned ArcMap for the most part. However, ESRI is transitioning it to mature support. They're only giving it five more years, and then that's it. They are not putting it anymore development, attention to ArcMap. And ArcMap will run on most Windows computers. And I've given you a couple of ways that you can access ArcMap at UCR. One is through a virtual machine called Apporto, and we'll be taking a look at that today. Or you can request a site license, a license from ITS at 'sitelicense.ucr.edu', and that would enable you to install it on your very own computer. ArcGIS Pro, on the other hand, was just released in 2015, which I guess is six years ago now. And it is in the process of taking the place of ArcMap. ESRI was pushing this pretty hard, and they've run into some resistance. And, one of the reasons it's- there's some resistance, is because you need a robust computer to run it well. You need a lot of graphics capability, a lot of memory. So I've included a couple links here for, they look kinda funky, but they really are okay to use. And what it'll do is kinda look at your computer system and come up with an answer on whether you've got enough power to run ArcGIS Pro well on your computer. That's something you can investigate. But say the answer turns out, no I can't. The solution there is to use, again, the virtual machines that we have available at UCR, which are called Apporto. And you can download ArcGIS Pro from, or by virtue of having created an ArcGIS online account, which is pretty easy to do. You don't need me or anybody else to help you with that. And so, if your, if your computer's capable of running Pro, that's another way you can go. So the basic layout of ArcGIS Pro. We'll just run through this quick because you're pretty much gonna see this in some of the demonstrations. At the top there, like I said, there are ribbon tabs, and which each contain a set of tools. And there's also what's called the Quick Access Toolbar, which is a nice feature that ArcMap did not have, I don't think. So if you've got a workflow on a project and you keep using the same tools over and over again, but they're on different tabs, you can pile them all onto the Quick Access Toolbar, and that way, when you're doing your project, you don't have to keep flipping back and forth between all the different tabs just to search out that one particular thing that you need all the time. So that's kinda nice. And then when you're looking at Pro, on the left-hand side, you'll see what's called the Contents Pane, that'll show you what layers you have in your map. And there's different ways that the contents pane can convey what's in there. Drawing order is the default, but there are other options as well, and we'll look at one of those other options later on. In the center is the 'Map Pane', and your project can have more than one map. We saw that in that example a few slides ago where we had the 3D view and everything, but this example is another way that you can just have the different maps in tabs. I don't know if you can see my cursor, but there's little tabs up here, so you can flip between the different maps that you've got associated with your project that way. And then to the right, it's the 'Catalog Pane' will show up, and then other panes as well. And we are gonna talk a little bit about what those are as we go. So data management terms. This is a little dry and it can be confusing, but I do think I have to run through this because you can get mixed up in a hurry if you at least don't have some idea of what some of the terminology is in this area. So with ArcGIS Pro, the big overall container for what you're working on is called a project, and this is something different from ArcMap. Again, if you're familiar with ArcMap, there was not a thing called a project, specifically, but here there is. It's a collection of related items with two types of content. It's all, got all the files that you create, and it's also got connections to folder servers, data repositories, etcetera that you use to make the files. And I've given you the project extension there, so if, if you see something and it's got a dot a-p-r-x, this is an ArcGIS Pro project. Now this slide should look familiar to anybody who has used ArcMap. Cause there's, within a project you can have a geodatabase, which may contain feature datasets, and will contain feature classes. And so this graphic kind of shows what that's like. The geodatabase is the big container. A feature dataset is kind of an intermediary organization thing that you can have, it's not necessary. But if you've got lots and lots of the lowest level, which is the feature classes, and you just need to organize them into groupings to make them easier to find, or manipulator, or whatever. You can create a feature dataset and pop some of those feature classes into them. So the feature classes themself, you can see the examples here are all polygons, like land use polygon parcels, city limits, county boundary, etcetera. These are all polygons, so if you had say, linear features, like maybe you have streets center lines, or streams, or something like that, they would have to be in a separate feature class, each one to itself, and same with points. If you had point features like banks, or here's my sampling locations, or any kind of point feature, they would be in their own little feature class. So it's specific to one type of geometry and one category of data. And a geodatabase can also contain things like annotation, and a raster dataset you see there, and even like a table that you just brought in to help you build some of the other layers there. So that's the basic idea between all of these things. Now this part really gets me because I think the terminology is misleading. But they didn't ask me when they need these things. I would have taught them to do something different but they didn't, so here we are. You'll see mention of a shapefile. Which is a vector data format, and it's like a feature class. So if somebody has done some mapping and they created a layer of water bodies, and they wanted to share it with you, what they're gonna do is send it to you in a shapefile. That's what it's called, and it's gonna be a zip file, and within that zip file there are several other files. And you might think, well, I only asked for a shapefile, what am I doing with all these other little files? You will need all of them. Even, there's one in there that's gonna have a suffix, an extension dot s-h-p, but there's gonna be ones with other extensions. You're gonna need all of them. So that's confusing right there, right? Then there's a layer. You've heard me use that term a couple of times already. And that's if you have a feature class, and you've loaded it into your GIS to view it on a map, we refer to it at that point as a layer. Now a layer file, this is what I think they should have called the shapefile, but a layer file is something different. A layer file stores the path to the source dataset and properties, including symbology, so it's pretty much everything that makes the layer look the way it does on the map, but it's not the data itself. I've had a couple of consultations with people who said, somebody sent me a layer file and I can't see the data. Well, it's because it doesn't contain the data. It's got everything else about how you make the data look on the map. So that's confusing, I agree. But in, in ArcGIS Pro, the file extension there is l-y-r-x. If it was from an ArcMap session, it would have been just, without the x on the end; dot l- y-r. So yeah, again, confusing but just had to fill you in on this. And then, if you're gonna manage data, which of course you'll have to, in an ArcGIS Pro session. I wanted to start pointing out what tabs the things are on, and what they basically can do. And there's two different types of data management approaches that you can use. So for basic data management, if you're working just on a project, it's probably okay just to go to the view tab and work with a catalog pane. That will enable you to make folder connections. If you needed to start mapping from scratch, you could create a new geodatabase and the feature sets in it, feature datasets in it, and the feature classes in it. You can search within what you've got in the catalog pane just by typing keywords. And it's possible for you to click on something in the catalog pane and drag it to the map and it'll show up on your map, which is kinda nice. For richer data management, so if you've got many projects which you, and you want to deal with the data from all of them at, you know, kind of in one session, you would wanna go to catalog view. So you can do all the things you can do with the catalog pane, plus, like I said, you can work with data outside the current project. You can edit metadata, which is, if that's a term you haven't heard before, it's information about the data. It tells somebody else, who may not know what's in your file, about what date it was collected, what the procedures were, what type of data it has, all that kinda thing. And you can see a visualization of the data, if, if you downloaded it from somewhere else and you're not really sure what it's gonna look like, catalog view will let you do a little preview of what this looks like before you add it to your map. So what? The reason I'm bringing this up is that it's important in ArcGIS when you're, you want to copy, move, rename, or delete spatial datasets that you do it from within catalog rather than in Windows, or something like that. It's, it's a little more dangerous to do it in Windows, so it's safer to do it within ArcGIS Pro. Alright, well here's the first recording. So Margarita, if you want to pop that link into the chat for the recording in case this is not gonna work well for you guys. Let's do that. And otherwise, let's see if I can get this to work. Okay so, what I need to do is,- to do a couple of things here with.-- Share sound. Okay, so we're gonna look at how we use Apporto. I have gone to UCR dot apporto dot com. I've got this landing page. I'm going to click the login button. So if I hadn't already signed in with my net ID and password elsewhere, I would have had to do that at this point. But luckily it, it realized I had already done that for other applications. So I get right to this screen. And the one that you want to pick for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro is this guy on the left, the GPU apps. So when I click launch,-- we wait. And because I had been in here before, it's gonna have some information I've already loaded, uploaded to this machine, that I keep coming back to my same old virtual machine, which is kind of nice. Okay, so we see, several folders over here. Now before we go further into showing you about Pro and things, I want, just to show you what to do when you're all done. Down here in the lower left corner, I have two of those Windows buttons. To get out of Apporto, the one I want to click is the one that's not at the very, very, bottom of my screen, but this guy. And then I would click the power button, and then disconnect. And that would end up getting me out of my Apporto session and making this screen kind of blank. And you would just close this tab. But there's still, there'll still be the other Apporto window open. So you'll want go to that tab. And when you go to your name over here, you can click on the dropdown, and log out. So hopefully that makes sense to you. That's what you do when you're all done. But for now, I am not all done, I'm just starting. I am not gonna do this. And let me click on File Explorer here. And you'll see there's an ArcGIS window, or window. It's a folder. That's a folder that's what that is. I am going to double-click on that. And I see some choices with all these different Arc applications. So ArcGIS Pro is what we're using today. So I am going to click on that, to open it. Okay, and this is what you'll see. See if I can scoot this a little bit, yeah. This is what it looks like when you open Pro. And in this case, I want to start brand spanking new, with a whole new theme. So I'm gonna click new. Under new, I'm gonna click map. If you had a project you had worked on before, you might see it showing up over here under recent projects and you can just click on the name of that project and it'll take you right there. If it's one that you haven't used in awhile, you'll see this option down here for open another one. And that, that might be one that you worked on two weeks ago, or a month ago, or something like that. So, yeah. But right now I am going to click on map. And I have to create a project name. So let's call it,-- [inaudible] August, 2020. And I'll click okay. So I think this is taking a little bit longer than, than it was when I first tried. I think it's maybe the conditions we're in right now or something. It's a little bit laggy, and performance is not the best here. However, now what I want to do is, I want to add data to my session, I'm going to make this a little bigger as well. Maybe a lot bigger, let's see. That's better. Better. Okay. I'll go over here to the map tab at the top. And I'm gonna go to add data. And I'll click on data. This'll let me navigate to the folders that are, are here. In this case, this just happens to be where I put data for this demonstration. So I am going to just highlight these three. I'm going to click on the first guy and then, I don't know if you know this trick that you hold down the shift key and you click on the last one, and that will get all three from top to bottom that you want. If I didn't want the middle guy, what you can do instead is, instead of hitting the shift key, hit the control key and just click on each of the ones that you want. It'll pick them up that way. So I've got three layers, these are all coming from the UCR campus map, the interactive campus map so it is a web map. I'm gonna click ok. Now you see a couple things have changed. I've got things over here in the contents pane, listed the three layers I picked. And I've got some, looks like points mostly, on my map. What we wanna do now is zoom into main campus. The reason that there's a point out here is this represents a facility at Palm Desert, but most of our, our campus information is right here around Riverside. So I'm gonna click the explorer tool here. And that's gonna enable me to zoom in, using my mouse wheel. So we're, we're on our way. We've got something that looks sort of like some map data and that's all good. One thing I want to point out here is that, over here in our contents pane, the drawing order matters. So think of it as a layer and what's ever's on top might, or will, obscure whatever is down below it. So in this case, let's take a look. Having the destinations, the point features on top is a good idea. Because if they were underneath either of our polygon layers, we wouldn't be able to see them because the polygons would cover up the points. However, I do want to drag the campus boundary down below the parking lots because, there are parking lots within the campus, but the campus boundary right now is obliterating those parking lots so we can't see them. So let's go ahead and drag this down. And now you see we have different shapes appearing that we couldn't see before and those are the parking lots. One last thing before we end this little clip is I would like to have a basemap because I don't know where in the world I am. I don't know what's behind this. So I can go back up here to the map tab and find basemap. No basemaps available. Okay, I have to fix that one. So stay tuned on that. Okay, so I figured out what I should have done in the first place. And that was when I was here, I needed to go to the project tab. See this one that's lit up in blue over here? And it would take me to this kind of menu. And what we have to do is establish a portal connection so we have a connection to all the basemaps that are available. So what I'm going to do now is click this word portals over here on the left-hand side. And I'm gonna see a screen like this. I'm gonna click the add portal button. And it asks me for the URL of your portal. And you might be saying to yourself, well, how would I know what the URL is? Luckily, they give you some examples of what it probably is. So we are going to use the UCR ArcGIS online organization. And by connecting to that here right now, that will give us access to basemaps and all kinds of other things that we could bring in from ArcGIS online. So they give you the example of what that URL would look like down here. h-t-t-p-s colon slash slash your org, which in our case is UCR, dot maps, dart, dot arcgis, dot com. So that's what I'm gonna type in right now. h-t-t-p-s colon slash slash, and I'm gonna go UCR dot maps. arcgis, dot com. And go 'OK'. And now I see that this portal is available to me. So if I go back to my map now, and I click on the basemap dropdown, like I did before. Now I see my choices hooray. So yes, that's just something we have to remember to do before we can get going too far because base maps are, are important. I mean, you really have no idea where you are in space looking at these shapes on there, on your screen. and you don't have to draw like the city of Riverside in the background. There's plenty of basemaps that will do that for you. And you can see there's a lot of choices. Every time I come on here, it seems like they've added another choice or two. And you have to pick the one that thinks, that you think will serve your purpose the best. So, I don't want oceans. We're not dealing with oceans today, for instance. There's a light grey canvas, or a dark grey canvas, but there's not a whole lotta detail on those basemaps. So that's not gonna serve my purpose either. So I think something like streets, or topographic, would be good. I don't really want imagery at this point. That might just be too much information, more than I need right now. So, let me go ahead and put in topographic, and we can always change it later if we decide that's not the basemap for us. So topographic has kind of a nice combination of terrain features, plus street networks. And so now we can see where we are. And as we zoom in on the amount of detail available to us, will increase. So you can see that there is some building shapes and things like that. So now we're good to go and we'll, we'll talk a little bit more about some other features of GIS, and then we'll get going on doing some other demos on selection, and labeling, and symbology. Okay, so hopefully that helped and you can see what we did with just getting started. And here are some slides that go over what we just saw. I'll just run through these real quick since we just saw them. But yeah, if you're looking at this later, this will help refresh your memory on, on what we demonstrated there. And the drawing order matters. How to add a base map and what you have to do the very first time to get that to work. So now we're gonna talk about tools and selection. I have two more videos to go. I'm not sure we're going to have time for both, so I'm thinking maybe we'll do the selection one, but I'll, I'll skip the third one; but just show you the slides that go along with that, when we get to that point. So tools, those of you who are interested in doing analysis are probably really curious about where do I find all the tools that help me do all those really cool analysis things. So, luckily enough, you would go to a tab that's called analysis and you'll find a little toolbox on there. And that, this is one way, there's many, multiple ways to get to tools as in other systems, you're probably familiar with that. There's more than one way to do this. But, this seems to be pretty straightforward. So you click on tools, and then in the geoprocessing pane that comes up you can click on the toolboxes little tab there that I've got circled. And then it's gonna give you a collapsible menu of all the different tools. I think there's over 200, so there's a lot. And you can try to figure out what basic toolbox you want to look in and then open that up. And then there's even subcategories of tools within it. And if you're curious about what a particular tool does, you can just hover over its name, and it'll give me a little bit of a description on what that tool does. And since, you know, there's just so many, yeah, we can't really go into detail anymore than that, at this point. So selection is important. It's signified by that kind of light aqua color. You'll find the selection tools on the map tab. They're grouped together, In a little section called selection, and what selection allows you to do is to edit the selected features. You can assess the attributes of only the selected features, or you can see which features have particular attributes. So here is another video. It's going to be about nine minutes long. And yeah, we'll see how this goes, see if I can get this. So now we're gonna take a look at selection. Okay. This is a pretty basic thing. It's really helpful in a lot of ways, and we'll take a look at why that is. So here we are. We're still on the map tab and we have our selection tools on the map tab and that's what we're going to be using. First though, I'd like to call your attention to the contents pane, and the default version of the contents pane that comes in is by drawing order. So that's what we talked about, you know, a little while ago where what's on top matters it covers up what's down below. But there's other ways that we might want to organize our contents and one of them is if we go over to two icons away, list by selection. Let's put that on and see what that looks like. So this allows us to make a layer selectable or not., and sometimes it's a good idea not to have a layer selectable. Sometimes you just don't want to mess with that, even by accident. And in this case, what I'm going to do is, I don't want the campus boundary selectable because I want to select some destination points. And, but unless I'm super-duper careful, I'm also going to end up selecting the polygon that's down below them. I'm not, I just don't wanna do that. I don't want to hassle with that. So what I can do is, come on over here to List by Selection and uncheck Campus Boundary. And that'll mean that no matter what I do, I'm not going to be able to select it until I toggle this back on again. So let me go back to list by drawing order, cause that's, it's what the default is in everything. And now I'm going to use the selection tool, they give you lots of choices on how to select it. I think rectangle's the default, but there's other ways you could select. And let's go over here and just select a few points, destination points. So let me choose these two. And now you can see they turn that color. And what we can do now is go over to the destinations layer and right-click on it. And one of the many things that comes up, up here towards the top is attribute table. So if I click on that, it shows up down here, all the, the different attributes for all the different points. And I can start scrolling. And the ones that I have selected, oops, there's one, will show up in the same color. So that tells me what has, what I have selected. And here's the second one. And sometimes you want to know what features are and what their, their attributes are and all that, but scrolling through the attribute table is, is kind of a pain. There's a, there's one way around it is down here, we can toggle the option to only show the selected layers. So now we have them both together. But another thing we can do is go back up here to the, our selection grouping up here on this tab, and here's attributes. So if I click on that, look to your right where it now has the catalog pane. What's gonna show up now is something about attributes. And I have those same two attributes showing up, and I can just scroll through and look at, look at their attributes one at a time, over here. That's a little bit easier than panning back and forth through the attribute table. So I'm gonna close the attribute table now. And I'm gonna clear my selection. So we're back to nothing is selected right now. And the next thing I'm gonna do is show you a couple of other ways that you can select features. And one is by attributes. So we, right up here next to the tool I just used, we have select by attributes. If I click on that, again, look over to your right. And it's taking a bit of time, but something is going to happen really fast, really fast. Yeah, not surprised. And this, this is like the first time in this map, so it's taking longer than it would, once you get going and try it again. Okay, so this allows us to say, I just want to see all the features in this layer that's have a particular attribute. And in this case, I am thinking of UCR destinations, and I want to know where all the ATMs are on campus, because I think that's a useful thing to know. So, let's go ahead and for selection type, I want a new selection. Sometimes what you can do is make a selection and then do another selection from that selection. So that's, that's why we have choices there, but right now we're starting with a new selection. And I'm gonna click new expression here. So this gives us a little expression builder. And what I wanna do is I happen to know the ATMs are one of the, attributes that we find under service underscore t - y, for service type. So I'm gonna say I wanna selection where service type, is, that works for me. I think that says is equal to, yes. And now it's going to, it knows all the attributes that are in that column. And luckily, ATM starts with and A, so it's alphabetical and it starts pretty much close to the top. So that's my, that's my expression. And now I'm gonna click run, down here at the bottom. And it's done. It would tell me if there's any problems with what I just did. But I see some points are lit up. And if I want to [verify], oops, verify that it did it correctly, I can go back over here to destinations. I'm right-clicking. I can pick attribute table, and I can scroll down. And look, there's an ATM, and there's an ATM. And there are three more. So I could go again over to this option, and just look at the ones I have selected and every single one is an ATM. So that's how that works. Pretty handy tool. I'm going to close this. And I'm going to clear my selection. Now I'm going to show you a different way to select to features. And we did it by attributes so we knew what kind of, of option, or attributes we wanted. But maybe sometimes we want to select by location and not have to do it manually by going around and picking off things on the map, and I'll show you how that works. So if I click on the select by location here. Now I have a different geoprocessing pane open. And what I, this has changed from the way it was done in ArcMap. And it's a little bit of an improvement, but I still find it confusing. So don't, don't feel bad if you find it confusing because I've been doing this for years and I still find this process confusing. My input features here are going to be UCR destinations. So luckily that came up the way I wanted it to, but I have the option of changing it to one of my other layers. And I'm looking at, what I'm gonna try to do is find all the destination points that are within the campus boundary. As you can see, there are a few that are considered UCR destinations, but they're outside the campus boundary. So let me just get the ones that are all within this boundary. So, the relationship here I'm after isn't really intersect, and they give you all kinds of options. And I am going to go with completely within. Okay. Now they use the selecting features term, which, that's one of the confusing parts to me. But what I wanna do is get all the UCR destinations that are completely within the campus boundary. So I have that option when I click the dropdown, and I'm gonna pick that. Not setting any kind of search distance, it's going to be a new selection. And so I'll just go ahead and run this. And now you can see a bunch of points are lit up, and you can see that the ones outside of this boundary, are not lit up. So that's how select by location goes. Okay. So hopefully that was, understandable enough. And the, again, these slides just kind of run through what we just saw. I'm gonna go quickly because we only have ten minutes left, and you've already kind of seen this. So now I'll just talk about editing and symbology real quick. Because I wanna make sure we get enough time for questions at the end. So those of you who might be creating data from scratch, like you're gonna be creating a map, instead of pulling in data from other sources. What you would want to focus on is the edit tab. And that's where you'll find things like, I hope you can see my cursor here. Create is when you're ready to start creating points, lines, or polygons. If you've drawn something, especially like a polygon shape or a line and you don't like the way it looks, maybe it's two angular or something, there's a tool called modify which allows you to reshape it. We have tools over here for moving, which is sometimes something that I have used in the past; if I didn't drop my point in exactly the right location and I, I realized that later I, you've got the ability to move your feature with that tool. And there's something called snapping. So for instance, if you want something to be exactly coincident with another feature on the map, for instance, maybe you're mapping pipe, pipes and pipe fittings, and you want those pipe fittings to be exactly were pipes intersect. You could do something like snapping, and it doesn't leave it to chance that you will get it absolutely perfect when, when you click there. So if, if that makes sense, so that's what you can do. Some of the tools that you can use when you're mapping, creating the data from [yourself], by yourself. And symbology. So I don't know if you noticed in those videos, but I wasn't really fond of the way features were symbolized as they were first appearing on the map. Both in color and sometimes in shape. So they give you defaults, but then you're not stuck with those defaults. You have the ability to change the symbology. Whether it's points, lines, or polygons, you have lots of options. And we, I'll just, instead of going to the recording, although, you know, Margarita you could put the link in the, in the chat just for people to use. Thank you. I'll just kind of talk through it real quick on the slides here. So, like for instance, that campus boundary, it was a solid polygon, but maybe we just really want it hollowed out and only to see the perimeter of all those polygons. So we would follow these steps in order to do that. There's a format polygon symbol window, and then you choose the properties tab on it. For some reason it shows up, at least the first time I did, it shows up with part of the, the features that you need to work with obscured, and I had to figure out that I had to pull this down, and then I was able to see, oh here's where I can change the color, and the outline width, and all that kinda thing. So that might trip you up as well. And then you can go through those things, like selecting whether it's got no color in the middle or some other color, and how fat the line width should be for the boundary. And you can see the result there. I changed the campus boundary polygons to just hollow outlines with a blue linear boundary. And then for labeling polygons. So this time I picked on the parking lots and I thought maybe I want to see which lots are represented here. And so you would, again, click on parking lots in the contents pane, you get this context tab for feature layer, and one of them has labeling. And then you can go ahead and pick which field - remember all those columns in the attribute table? You can pick which column, or field you want the labels to be drawn from. And then you can of course change the, the font and whether it's bold, and what color it is, all that good stuff. And then one thing I find a little curious, is I go through all this work, but it's, the labels aren't gonna show up unless you opt in over here where it says number five. You have to click that for the labels to show up. And then of course you can toggle it off for the labels to go away. So I find that a little, little challenging, but I guess I understand the reason why they, they do it that way. And that's the result, of getting the parking lots labeled. Okay, so I really wanted to make sure we got time to look at these slides. I copied these off of the ESRI website and the link for this is at the top. So they offer a whole bunch of tutorials to get you going further and better than what I just offered. And these quick-start tutorials can take you anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, and they, they include a short preview video. And so I encourage you to explore some of these if you're interested in learning more about Pro. They, they really are nice, I have to hand it to them. They have created some really good tutorials where you can go step-by-step. It is pretty clear. So this would be a good way to get more practice with ArcGIS Pro. And then on the next slide, there's more tutorials. Now these aren't the quick-start ones; these get into a little more depth. So again, depending on what your interest is, you could maybe find, find one of these that will work for you. And then at the very bottom of the slide, again, there's the Learn ArcGIS site and there's lots of guided lessons there. And then, ESRI Academy has a lot of resources too. Of course, you guys are probably familiar with being able to find things, do an internet search and find videos that show people doing particular things, in particular tools. That's always an option for you as well. I do think though, that ESRI does a pretty good job of, with their learning materials, which was not always the case. So I think they have really improved what they offer as far as people getting more familiar with their products. And yes, it's time for questions and we have just a couple minutes. I did want to be respectful of everybody's time. So I see one question on the screen, is Pro faster than ArcMap and desktop? The answer is yes. Yes it is. However, of course, there was always a however, right? So say in Apporto, if everybody's using Apporto at once to do an ArcGIS Pro project, it can get laggy. I've been warned about that and yeah, some faculty members who are using it in their classes this term have expressed that there was another class using Pro at the same time as their class and it, it kept blowing their students out, or really getting slow. So there are those kind of cautions. And if your computer is not as fully up to speed as far as graphics and memory and things, Pro can be laggy that way. But otherwise, if you've got the right equipment, and no competition, Pro can work faster than, than ArcMap does. Here's my contact information real quick. But let me get out of sharing these slides, and I can, I know there was other questions that went by during the presentation, and I'm sorry I blew past them, but I was trying to get them off the screen because I didn't really want them captured in the video. It's like I never know what's gonna show up, that's showing up on my screen, and what's going to be captured on the video. So yeah, I wasn't trying to say that, that wasn't a good question or anything like that. So let me see if there's anything else I missed. I know there was at least one. So would selection, be able to show where data is located on the map? Yeah, I think, Andrea, I think that's a direct question to me. Let's talk about that a little bit later on so I can fully get understanding of what your question is. We talked about the difference between commercial ArcGIS and free QGIS. Yeah. So that's it. I am sorry it was a little bit rushed. You always try to get the timing right, but I do want to respect everybody's time rather than making you guys stay later to get all the content. Please do know again that the workshop will be recorded. You can view it again in a couple weeks. I will, I will be sending you the slides and the handout. Hopefully that will get you further along in your learning curve on ArcGIS Pro. And yeah, I'm willing to stay on the line and answer other questions. Again, if Margarita put a link in the chat for our assessments, and I do encourage you to do those. They, they help us very, very much to understand whether what we offered met your needs; how we might improve for the next time around. Anything like that would, sometimes the question is, what else would you like to see the Library offer? So if you haven't followed one of those links before, it's a survey, and there's three questions that you just, just get to pick one. Pick whichever one you feel like answering. It just takes a couple minutes. But again, that information really helps us a lot. So I do appreciate you taking a moment or two to do that at some point. So anyway, thanks, and yeah, I'll stay on a little bit longer and be happy to chat with anybody. But otherwise have a good rest of your day. I know it's midterms, so good luck with all that. Okay, somebody's asking about the free tools. I have a workshop on QGIS, which is the, the one that most people use of all the free tools. When did I offer that? It was October I think. And so that's, that recording is on the library website, on the library Youtube channel rather. So that might help and I, and I can follow up with you later and send you some more resources that might help you learn QGIS. But again, the nice thing about that is that you just download it and you can go with it. And there's, their support is getting better. But it's, it's not a company that's getting, where workers are getting paid to do the work. So it's kind of volunteers and developers and they do the best they can. But sometimes the support documentation is written by developers and they can't think any other way other than being a developer. So it, it can be a little technical sometimes I have found. But I, again, I think they're, they're doing better with that. And yeah, Margarita shared the link to the QGIS recording in the chat, so that's good. But yeah, happy to follow up with you later on any further questions you have on that. QGIS is off, is used quite a bit by other people at, at UCR, and one of the nice things about it is, if shapefiles are created in QGIS, they'll go into ArcGIS just fine and vice versa. So there's not a barrier as far as what file types you can use or anything like that in one versus the other. Okay, you're welcome. I'm, I'm glad this was helpful, at least a little bit, I hope. And I think I'll stop recording.
