The Data Management toolbox contains tools that are used to develop, manage, and maintain feature classes, datasets, layers, and raster data structures.
| Toolset | Description |
|---|---|
The Attachments toolset contains tools for managing geodatabase attachments. The attachments functionality provides a way to associate nongeographic data with geographic information. With these tools, you can incorporate attachments into your workflows and automate the process of adding and removing attachments. | |
The Catalog Dataset toolset contains tools for creating, maintaining, and updating catalog datasets. A catalog dataset is visualized as a catalog layer, which is used to explore and organize disparate content from one centrally managed source. | |
The Data Comparison toolset contains tools to compare one dataset with another dataset to report similarities and differences. You can use these tools to identify changes made to a dataset. | |
|
The Feature Class toolset contains tools that perform basic feature class management. | |
|
The Features toolset contains tools to create and manage feature-based GIS data, transform features from one geometry type to another, find and correct issues with feature geometry, and record feature geometry measurements and coordinates as attributes. | |
The Fields toolset contains tools to create and modify fields. A field is a column in a table; each field contains the values for a single attribute. Any number of fields can be included in a table. Settings can be specified for fields, such as the field type and the maximum size of the data that can be stored in it. | |
|
The General toolset contains tools for performing general data management operations. The toolset contains tools for combining feature classes or tables; renaming, copying, or deleting datasets; finding or deleting duplicate or identical records; sorting records; and uploading files to a portal. | |
|
The Generalization toolset contains tools for dissolving or eliminating features. | |
Tools in the Joins and Relates toolset create a join or a relate between a layer and a table view. Joins made with the Add Join tool or relates made with the Add Relate tool are temporary and do not permanently transfer the fields between tables. If you need to preserve the join or relate between sessions, you can create a relationship using the tools in the Relationship Classes toolset. | |
|
The Layers and Table Views toolset contains tools for creating and manipulating layers, layer files, and table views. | |
The Package toolset contains tools to consolidate, package, and share layers, maps, projects, address locators, and geoprocessing results. | |
The Photos toolset contains tools for analyzing and managing digital photograph files. The toolset includes tools for creating a point feature class from geotagged photo files (photos that were captured from a GPS camera device or a smartphone) and matching photo files to features or table rows based on the time stamp of the photo. | |
The Projections and Transformations toolset contains tools for converting geographic data between coordinate systems. There are additional tools for transforming raster datasets, such as shift, rescale, and rotate. | |
The Raster toolset in the Data Management toolbox contains tools that perform raster data management and raster processing. These tools allow you to work with raster dataset properties and create and process raster data. | |
The Sampling toolset contains tools that create features used either as sampling locations or as aggregation areas. | |
The Table toolset contains tools that perform basic table management. | |
The Toolbox toolset contains tools for analyzing the contents of toolboxes (model and script tools) for use with different versions of ArcGIS software. | |
|
The Workspace toolset contains tools to create the data storage structures used by ArcGIS. |
