Browsing Existing Data

As a reminder, in the Intro to GIS Data Management tutorial, we imported the feature classes of interest into our project geodatabase. 

1. In the Catalog pane, under the Folders section, click the arrow to expand the Databases section.
2. Click the arrow to expand the Intro.gdb geodatabase.

Adding Data to a Map

1. expand Folders > PlayMapping. You will notice there is no data in the folder. Over the next few steps, we will import the data we downloaded from the Downloads folder to our Project Folder.

Connecting to a Folder

1. In the Catalog pane, right-click Folders and select Add Folder Connection.
2. In the left column, click My Computer. In the right column, click C:/ > Users > gistrain.ADRICE and single click on Downloads. Click OK.
3. In the Catalog pane, expand Downloads.
4. Fully expand all folders and geodatabases in the Downloads folder
5. Right-click the Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood feature class and select Add To Current Map.
6. An alternative method of adding data to a map is to click and hold the Major_Roads feature class and drag and drop it into the Super Neighborhoods map view.
