How do you use common GIS tools and functions?

4 Data Editing and Management

Another important step in any GIS project is to edit and manage the data using various tools and functions. You can use various GIS tools and functions to create and modify features, such as points, lines, polygons, or raster cells. You can also use various tools to edit and update the attributes and values of the features, such as adding, deleting, or renaming fields, or changing the data type or domain. You can also use various tools to organize and manage the data, such as creating and editing layers, groups, or bookmarks.

5 Data Sharing and Collaboration

One of the final steps in any GIS project is to share and collaborate the data and results with others using various tools and functions. You can use various GIS tools and functions to publish and share the data and maps online, such as using web maps, web apps, or web services. You can also use various tools to collaborate and communicate with other users, such as using groups, comments, or annotations. You can also use various tools to export and print the data and maps, such as using layouts, reports, or PDFs.

6 Data Automation and Scripting

One of the advanced steps in any GIS project is to automate and script the data and tasks using various tools and functions. You can use various GIS tools and functions to create and run workflows, models, or scripts that perform multiple steps and operations on the data. You can also use various programming languages and frameworks, such as Python, R, or ArcPy, to write and execute custom code and functions that extend the functionality and flexibility of the GIS software.
