00:01Welcome back! Welcome back, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the break.

00:06I'm John Calkins, and I will be your emcee for the next exciting session about exploring and discovering ArcGIS 10.

00:17What is a GIS? If you think about that question for a minute, a GIS is a geographic information system.

00:25And I want to put the focus on the last word, a system.

00:29A system, by its very definition, is many parts that all make up a whole; they're interconnected.

00:36A system has structure, behaviors, and it all has to work together. For the next 90 minutes, we're going to focus on the system.

00:47But before we start, I want to do a quick, informal survey.

00:50Raise your hand if you consider yourself an ArcGIS Desktop user.

00:56Okay. Now raise your hand if you're a server user.

01:01Okay. Now raise your hand if you're a mobile user. And that's three hands, I know; probably one too many. I got the idea.

01:10But I want to suggest to you that that question was totally inappropriate.

01:15Because in 2010, there will be no more desktop or server or mobile users, but everyone is going to be consuming the whole system.

01:24We're all going to use every part of the system.

01:28Two years ago, our director of research and development, Scott Morehouse, told us that GIS was going to become like music.

01:37Where do we listen to music? We listen on our iPod, we listen on our desk using iTunes, we listen at home...

01:45...we listen outside, we listen in the car, we listen everywhere.

01:49And the music is delivered to us through a system that's made up of hardware, software, and online content.

01:56Well, GIS is going to become just like music. In fact, GIS has already become just like music.

02:03And we're going to use a system that consists of all those pieces, and especially that online content part.

02:10Well, Scott told us that message two years ago, but for me, it actually really sunk in about two months ago.

02:17I was in the office, I was working on a map of Yosemite National Park, a beautiful map on my desk.

02:22My coworker was taking that map and publishing a Web application.

02:27But then I had to go home early that day, and she kept working, and she published it to the Amazon cloud.

02:33And then she sent me an e-mail that says, well, that's now available on ArcGIS Online.

02:38So I was at home, and I was using my iPhone, and I was doing the thumb thing on my iPhone, sitting on my sofa.

02:43And that was the moment that I realized, I am no longer a desktop user, which is what I thought of myself.

02:50I'm now using the whole system. And I liked it. Because it meant I could work anywhere.

02:55That one beautiful map that I was working on in the morning in the office I could work on at home on my phone.

03:01And that's when I think I truly caught up with Scott's vision that GIS is going to become just like music.

03:08We're going to have it everywhere, and it's going to be available to everyone.

03:13So what we want to do, is we're going to spend this morning, we're going to talk about where do you want to work?

03:17Some of you may want to come over here to your office, or my office, and work on our desktop computers.

03:22Or you may keep going, and you may go out into the field.

03:26You may want to work in the forests of New Zealand, collecting and analyzing information.

03:30And when you get tired, where do you go?

03:33Well, if you're like me, you head over here to Starbucks, and you want to get on the Wi-Fi, you want to stay connected.

03:41And with a little luck, we can have our Starbucks delivered.

03:47So we're going to try to have a little bit of fun over the next 90 minutes.

03:51We're going to show you a number of these big ideas as we walk through a series of live demonstrations.

03:57The first one is about productivity. How do we get started with productivity? With a map, the way we all get started.

04:04We're all making maps every day.

04:07We bring data together, we apply great cartography, now we want to make sure that map is current and up-to-date.

04:14You'll find with ArcGIS 10 hundreds of productivity enhancements to make those processes simpler.

04:20There's another big area, and that is how we create and update features.

04:25Close your eyes and imagine the editing process for a minute as it exists today.

04:29You say, Start editing. You create a point, a line, a polygon.

04:33You fill in the attributes. You change the symbology. And then you repeat the process.

04:37We're going to turn that all upside down.

04:40We're going to make the process as simple as choose the symbol on the legend and drop it onto a map.

04:47So I want you to watch in this next presentation for this new approach to editing...

04:52...amongst all the other hundreds of productivity enhancements we've made.

04:57To kick it off, I want to introduce Pat Dolan, who will be shortly followed by Katie Clift. Pat.

05:03Thanks, John. Good morning, everyone.

05:08As GIS professionals, we make maps every day.

05:10The challenge in making those maps is finding the right content that's up-to-date and looks professional.

05:16I'm excited to show you just some of the new enhancements in ArcGIS 10...

05:19...that'll make this process easier and you more productive.

05:23So to begin with, I have a map document that contains information.

05:26Now to understand what the information is on the map, I can hover over to the left-hand side...

05:30...and the table of contents automatically appears.

05:34This allows me to access the tools quickly when I need them and then disappear when I need to focus on the map.

05:41Now when I do an identify on a feature, I know exactly where the Identify window is going to appear...

05:47...and when it disappears, the map doesn't refresh.

05:51This is a longer demo if I don't get crowd applause. Thank you.

05:56So that little enhancement's already saved me a few seconds. Next, what I want to do is I need to find a basemap for the city.

06:04Traditionally, what I would do is I open up ArcCatalog to find content.

06:07But in ArcGIS 10, I can now access [Arc]Catalog directly from ArcMap.

06:12What I can do is now locate the facilities and add that to the map.

06:20Now that I've added the facilities to the map, the next challenge is I need to locate additional information.

06:26From the table of contents, I can see that I have the capital improvement projects for 2009...

06:32...but what I'm interested in is seeing the projects for 2010.

06:36I'm not sure where that information is located at, so what I can do is...

06:39...I can now use the new capability to search on features or content.

06:43So I'm going to type in capital, and what I can do now is filter based off of maps, data, or tools.

06:52Now, when I review the data, you'll notice, or the results, information about each layer appears.

06:57So I can now understand what is the right layer to add to the map.

07:01To narrow down my search, I'll type in 2010, and now I locate the information.

07:07And now I can see where it is on the system and add it to the map.

07:11Now that I've added it to the map, I need to update the symbology. Now it's not using the standard symbology for the map.

07:20To fix that, I can come in, open up the symbol locator, and use the new search capabilities to type in projects.

07:28Trust me, I like this one too.

07:32And now I can locate all of my symbols very quickly without having to spend thousands of hours looking for the right symbol.

07:44All right. Got my map. I'm ready to do some work. But before I do that, I want to make sure the map's going to perform.

07:51So as you'll notice as I pan, there's a slight delay in the redraw. It's not bad, but we can do better.

07:59One of the major enhancements in ArcGIS 10 is optimized map layers.

08:03So all I need to do is right-click, open up a new basemap layer, take my existing layers and drag them into this group.

08:11What's going on is it's going to take those layers and optimize how they're drawn on the map.

08:16So that now when I go, I can now go out and continuously pan and zoom through my entire database without having it to refresh.

08:31All right. Got the content, map's performing. Now I need to update the map.

08:35Now this is my favorite enhancement to ArcGIS 10 is the new editing environment.

08:41What I have here is a work packet outlining a new sewer line extension.

08:46Now those of you who've worked in utilities, you know how long it takes to add this level of detail to the map.

08:51Well, in ArcGIS 10, we've reengineered how we do editing to streamline the common ways we add features.

08:57So simply coming in and starting an edit session...

09:01...I'm going to be presented with an edit template with all the features I can add to the map.

09:05So all I need to do is select a feature and add it to the map.

09:11Now as I add the sewer line, you'll notice that it starts giving me feedback. It's snapping to features.

09:18So it's honoring the connectivity rules that I've established in the database.

09:22Now as I add my lateral lines, you'll notice that there's a small Construction toolbar that follows me when I add the features.

09:29This Construction toolbar allows me to have access to common editing methods when creating features.

09:34So when I add this last lateral, I can pick Parallel to the lot line to make sure that the line that I add is straight.

09:42Now I'm going to add just a few more details to the design.

09:51So what enabled me to add 15 features in 30 seconds?

09:54If we take a look at the properties of a feature, you'll notice that the construction has already been defined...

09:59...or the way we construct the tool has already been defined.

10:03More importantly, I have all the attributes predefined, so now I can literally click and go.

10:07I can select the feature on the map and add it.

10:13So, as a part of this design, I need to go ahead and add an 8-inch sewer line just north of the new extension.

10:22You'll notice from the edit template that I don't have that feature. Well, the templates can be easily configured as well.

10:28All I can do, well one example is I can simply copy an existing feature, open up the Properties page...

10:34...now we'll go ahead and name that. We'll go with 8 inch PVC, then I can just simply come in...

10:42...change the properties to make sure it's an 8 inch for the diameter...

10:49...and now add it to the map.

10:52So it's really that easy. I can quickly access the template, update it, and move on.

10:58So I've finished at least the sewer line extension. Now I need to go ahead and now update this lot.

11:04Another major enhancement to the editing environment is the Parcel Editing toolbar.

11:10The new Parcel Editing toolbar streamlines the way in which we manage and create parcels.

11:15So what I need to do is simply select this lot, determine what task I want to do...

11:23...in this case, we want to do a parcel division...

11:26...and what I want to do is subdivide it into five parcels, proportional to one another, starting from the east boundary.

11:33Now it's going ahead and constructing that new lot into five parcels and prompts me to update the lot names.

11:41Now we're going to start with a lot name of 31 since the last one was 30.

11:47So in just a few clicks, I was able to construct a whole new subdivision.

11:57Now more importantly, you notice when I zoomed in, you can see the measurements have been automatically labeled.

12:02So we've already calculated the measurements for you and labeled it automatically.

12:06So you no longer have to do that manually.

12:10All right. We've got the map up-to-date. Now I need to validate the content before I make the map.

12:17To do that, I'm going to use a new extension in ArcGIS 10 called Data Reviewer.

12:22Data Reviewer has built-in QA/QC procedures to make sure the information on my map is valid.

12:28So what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up an existing configuration of rules that I can set up.

12:33And what we're going to check for is diameter, length of pipe, fields that are null, and the parcel area.

12:41I'm going to run this on the entire database, and if it finds any errors, it reports them to a table.

12:47I can now review these 11 records by opening up the table.

12:52I can now see a description of each of the errors, and as I go through each of the issues that I find...

12:59...I can select any one of them and zoom to the location.

13:03Here's an example where we have a 12-inch diameter that doesn't match the main's diameter that it's attached to.

13:09So I've been able to update the map and validate the map. Now I'm ready to create the map.

13:15So what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and zoom out to the full extent of the map, to the city extent.

13:24Now, when I think about making a map or a map book, I think about making individual maps based off of a map grid.

13:32However, what I want to do is I want to make a map book that's based off the location of these individual projects.

13:39In ArcGIS 10, you can now design your own map book with just a few steps.

13:44To do that, I'm going to use the new Data Driven Pages toolbar, where I can come in...

13:51...select the project area that will define the extent.

13:54Also I can figure out, define what fields I want it to automatically label on the map.

14:00I can even set the rotation for each of the map sheets and apply. So now, in just a few steps, I have now a map book.

14:09And as I cycle through each of the map sheets, you'll notice the extent goes to each individual project...

14:14...and is updated with the name and the estimated completion date.

14:20So in just a few steps, I've been able to create my entire map book based off of the extent that I wanted to do.

14:33So these are just some of the new enhancements that will make the process of updating and creating and generating maps easier for you. John?

14:42Thanks, Pat. I think you did a fantastic job. They all think you did a fantastic job.

14:49Okay. I think you did a fantastic job too.

14:54But there's a little problem. I told everybody this was about the whole system.

14:59You showed all the productivity enhancements, or at least some of the productivity enhancements, on the desktop.

15:04But you didn't really engage the entire system. So I want to give you a new challenge.

15:09Your coworker Katie Clift is going to come out in a couple of minutes, and she's going to work in the field.

15:13Let's assume she works for the parks and recreation department, she's never used a GIS...

15:17...and you need to help her learn how to collect information about the park in the field and anywhere she wants to work.

15:24So show us how you can help her with that.

15:27Now?

15:28Now.

15:29Okay. Well, the reason I asked John "now?" is because my basemap doesn't contain city facilities.

15:36I'm not sure what they look like, how to map them, or actually how to organize them.

15:40But this is where I want to leverage the system and go online and see if a best practice has been determined by the community.

15:47So to do that, I'm going to go in to ArcGIS Online, and now I can search on parks.

15:55What it does, it goes out and brings back all maps that relate to parks...

16:00...and I can review the details of these maps and determine which one is appropriate for the exercise.

16:06In this case, I found the map that looks like it fits what I need. I can download that map to my desktop.

16:13Once it downloads it to my desktop, it automatically opens up the template.

16:17So it gives me the opportunity to quickly come in, configure it for my city requirements.

16:23So I can set the fields and begin to add features.

16:26So I can see from the imagery where the baseball park is, where the parking lot is, and so on.

16:32But that's only part of the challenge. John asked me to make sure I enable it for everyone.

16:37So I need to take this same map so that people can access it outside of the office or in the field.

16:43To make it accessible in the field, what I'm going to do is use the new Mobile Project Center that allows me to package the map and the app...

16:50...so that my colleagues in the field can download it and begin to collect information in the field.

16:54So, I'm going to go ahead and collect, or excuse me, I'm going to go ahead and continue to add information to my map here.

16:59And I'm going to ask my colleague Katie to go ahead and download the same map...

17:02...and start collecting information in the field. Katie?

17:05Thanks, Pat. As Pat mentioned, the ready-to-deploy ArcGIS Mobile application allows me to collect parks data in the field.

17:13To get started, I download the project by clicking the project name.

17:18Big buttons make it easy to use this application on a touch-enabled Tablet PC.

17:24And the application walks me through key things that I need to do to run the project.

17:29First, would you like to download data now?

17:35Next, which layers would you like to download data for?

17:38These are the same layers that are coming from the map that Pat configured on the desktop.

17:44And finally, I'll get data for the default extent.

17:47Keep in mind, I only have to walk through that sequence of steps when I download a new project.

17:56Notice the map looks identical to what Pat configured on the desktop.

18:01I'll zoom in to the area where I'm working...

18:05Let's try that again.

18:12And the application walks me through the process of collecting parks data.

18:16Notice these are the same symbols. It's the same map template coming from what Pat configured on the desktop.

18:24And the workflow is straightforward.

18:26I choose the symbol that I want, I want to collect the location using the map, and I place the point.

18:34I have the option to review attribute information, most of which was automatically populated by the map layer.

18:40And I can add additional notes if necessary or override any of the default values.

18:49Here I have a choice. Do I want to collect another picnic table or choose a different symbol from the map template?

18:54I'll collect another picnic table.

19:02And as I collect data in the field, I can view progress on the map.

19:06Since this is a task-based workflow, field-workers can be immediately productive with very little training.

19:13Thanks, Patrick. So now I get to head over to Starbucks. I don't think I actually get a latte, but I sure would like one.

19:20And I can keep working here. So far, Pat and I have been collaborating on the same map.

19:25He authored the map in [ArcGIS] Desktop and added some data.

19:28I took the map to the field to ensure accuracy and add additional content.

19:33But I can also edit the same map, now using a Web browser, which means that I can work anywhere, even here.

19:41Using this configurable Web application; in this case, it's the Flex viewer...

19:45...it's easy to validate the data that I collected in the field.

19:48Here we see the picnic tables, and I can click to access details.

19:53But more importantly, intuitive Web editing tools allow me to simply keep editing this same map.

19:59Again, here we see the same map template, the same symbols coming from the map that Pat configured on the desktop.

20:05And the workflow is straightforward. I choose the symbol that I want, and I place it on the map.

20:11Here I've added a playground, and I also want to indicate a parks project under construction in this area...

20:18...so I'll sketch that in and add project details, such as a description and estimated costs.

20:29Now while I was busy collecting data in the field and on the Web, Pat was back in the office editing the same map.

20:36So I not only see all the work that I've done, but I can access all of the data that he's collected too.

20:43John introduced ArcGIS 10 as a system.

20:46This system allows us to edit the same map anywhere, anytime...

20:51...to increase collaboration and productivity throughout the organization. John?

20:56Thanks, Pat. Thanks, Katie.

21:03I think we can best summarize what you did by saying one map document, one set of layers and cartography...

21:10...one set of editing rules, that template that you could use anywhere you wanted to work...

21:16...and also, you saw them working at the same time.

21:18They were collaborating together; both were capturing information from the office and the field concurrently.

21:24So thanks again, you guys.
