Overview of this book

ArcGIS is Esri's catalog of GIS applications with powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. ArcGIS makes use of the modern ribbon interface and 64-bit processing to increase the speed and efficiency of using GIS. It allows users to create amazing maps in both 2D and 3D quickly and easily. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of the various data formats that can be used in ArcGIS Pro and shared via ArcGIS Online, then this book is for you. Beginning with a refresher on ArcGIS Pro and how to work with projects, this book will quickly take you through recipes about using various data formats supported by the tool. You will learn the limits of each format, such as Shapefiles, Geodatabase, and CAD files, and learn how to link tables from outside sources to existing GIS data to expand the amount of data that can be used in ArcGIS. You'll learn methods for editing 2D and 3D data using ArcGIS Pro and how topology can be used to ensure data integrity. Lastly the book will show you how data and maps can be shared via ArcGIS Online and used with web and mobile applications.

Creating and using a Relate


A Join is just one of the basic methods you can use in ArcGIS Pro to link data together. Another method is a Relate. A Relate links two tables together, but unlike a Join, which adds information to the primary table, the two tables remain separate when related. This allows you to see all the related records in the linked table.

A Relate works best when you have one record in your primary table which matches to multiple records in the linked table, or when you have multiple records in the primary that match multiple records in the linked table. In these situations, a Join would not work as well because it would have multiple records which match.   

In this recipe, you will create a Relate between the Parcels and a land sales table. The land sales table contains all parcels sales which have occurred over the last several years. This table also comes from the County’s CAMA system, like the Owners table did. Once you relate the two tables, you will see how you can view...
