ArcGIS Pro: Layer Field Configuration

Introduction:

This course provides an introduction to editor-level field configuration options available within ArcGIS Pro, covering the modifications that day-to-day editors can make within the Fields view without requiring elevated geodatabase permissions. Learners will explore how to control field visibility, editability, display order, field highlights, and number formatting, and will gain a clear understanding of how these changes affect the editing interface without impacting the underlying geodatabase schema or the experience of other users. Through a guided walkthrough and an independent practice exercise, learners will apply these skills hands-on using a telecommunications dataset, leaving the course with the knowledge needed to tailor their own projects to better reflect their specific workflows and data review needs.
