A

data schema

Data Dictionary is another term for describing the ___ ___ - the feature and field names and types.

18
Q

While Conceptual Data Model, Training Course, and Metadata all describe the data - none of them…

A

specifically describe the feature and field names and types.

19
Q

Fix Type

EPE

PDOP

Correction Age

Overall Positional Accuracy

Time Since Differential Received

Horizontal and Vertical Accuracy

2D, 3D, DGPS

A

Fix Type > 2D, 3D, DGPS

EPE > Horizontal and Vertical Accuracy

PDOP > Overall Positional Accuracy

20
Q

It’s a good practice to always use this coordinate system when collecting field data.

A

WGS 1984 Geographic Coordinate System It’s a good practice to always use WGS 1984 Geographic Coordinate System (GCS). WGS 1984 GCS is an unprojected spherical coordinate system in latitude and longitude coordinates and degrees, minutes, and seconds units. It’s one of the most basic coordinate systems and available in every GPS receiver and smartphone app. If you always collect data in WGS 1984 GCS, then you don’t have to remember what coordinate system you collected the data. Also, it’s very easy to transform WGS 1984 GCS into whichever coordinate system you might be using for your project.

21
Q

T or F: A map appears in Collector if you created it or if you are a member of a group with which the map is shared in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. The map must also be enabled for use in Collector.

A

True

22
Q

Review the settings in the following ArcGIS Pro Share As Web Layer geoprocessing tool used to publish the Hydrants Web Layer. Which option enables users to perform edits to the Web Layer without being connected to ArcGIS Online via the Internet?

A

Enable Sync allows disconnecting editing while not logged into ArcGIS Online via the Internet. Enable editing allows features to be added, deleted, and updated. Export Data allows users to export all the features in the Web Layer. Allow geometry updates without m-value allows you to add features without updating the m-value for feature classes with measures.

23
Q

How can you tell if you can edit the Hydrant web layer features in this ArcGIS Online web map, Collector for ArcGIS, and ArcGIS Pro?

A

Yes you can edit the features. Here are some clues: (1) the Edit button is visible; (2) click they Hydrants layer More Options… button to see that you can Disable/Enable Editing; (3) click a hydrant feature and note the option to Edit the attributes. If you can edit the features in an ArcGIS Online web map, it also means you can edit the feature in Collector for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.

24
Q

When adding a hydrant feature, which of the following is NOT a value included in the Coded Value Domain assigned to the Manufacturer field? American Darling British Engineering Clow Corporation Corey

A

The coded value domain assigned to the Manufacturer field includes all the values listed in the dropdown box when adding or updating the attribute. British Engineering is not included in the list of possible values.

25
Q

Which scale of data automation is best for automating tasks for one to thousands of users 24x7x365?

Cloud-based Automation

26
Q

What automation is good at automating tasks for a single or small number of users on a single desktop/laptop?

A

Desktop automation automating tasks for a single or small number of users on a single desktop/laptop

27
Q

What automation is focused on automating tasks within a department and/or across an entire organization on multiple systems.

A

Enterprise Automation is focused on automating tasks within a department and/or across an entire organization on multiple systems.

28
Q

In ArcGIS Pro, a geoprocess CANNOT be initiated via which of the following?

A Tool

A Model

A Script

A View

A

In ArcGIS Pro, a geoprocess CANNOT be initiated by a View.

29
Q

____, ____, and ____ are all part of the geoprocessing framework from which you can initiate geoprocesses.

A

Tools, Models, and Scripts

____, ____, and ____ are all part of the geoprocessing framework from which you can initiate geoprocesses.

30
Q

True or False: While a model can automate geoprocessing by iterating through a collection of input layers; a tool can only run a geoprocess on one input layer at a time.

A

False

You can batch a geoprocessing tool and run it on multiple input layers by right-clicking the tool in Toolboxes and selecting Batch.

31
Q

Which of the following ArcGIS Pro data automation tools is best described as preconfigured steps that guide you through a process.

A

Task

Which of the following ArcGIS Pro data automation tools is best described as preconfigured steps that guide you through a process.

32
Q

Which of the following describes an advantage of ArcGIS Pro Models over Tasks?
