Advanced Guide to ArcGIS 10.6
This Advanced online ArcGIS course follows on from the GIS247 Mastering and Intermediate courses. It is also suitable for experienced ArcGIS users who wish to learn more about some of the functions they may use regularly whilst discovering new functions they might not have used. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the advanced functions (such as geodatabases, remote data access, advanced attribute expressions, label expressions and annotation). Advanced functions for working with spatial features are also explored, such as spatial joins and geoprocessing analysis.
NOTE: the presentations for this course are taken from the Advanced Guide to ArcGIS 10.7 course.
The bulk of functionality targeted in this course is identical in both 10.6 and 10.7.
