This is a self-paced learning path consisting of 11 courses that go through the bare basics of getting started with ArcGIS Pro and CrescentLink, working through the tools that you will use to create a digital record of your physical network, and ultimately run through various scenarios for reporting and troubleshooting issues within your network. You will have 6 months to complete and pass all 11 courses and earn a Certificate of Completion for this learning path.  Upon purchase you will automatically be enrolled in Lesson 1, while enrollment in each subsequent course will automatically occur upon completion of the previous course. Lesson 1:  Introduction to ArcGIS Pro & CrescentLink Lesson 2:  Work Order Management Lesson 3:  Fiber Cable Management Lesson 4:  Splice Points & Connectivity Lesson 5:  Managing Network Equipment Lesson 6:  Cable Counts & Esri Labeling Lesson 7:  Path Network Management Lesson 8:  Additional Cable Management (risers & slack) Lesson 9:  Build Your Own Network Lesson 10:  Project Estimates & Staking in Project Planner Lesson 11:  Outage Management & Troubleshooting You can download the materials used throughout this learning path <HERE>. If you prefer that GEOGRAPH invoice your organization instead of paying via credit card through the store, please reach out to your GEOGRAPH account representative to begin that process.  A coupon code will be provided, which will allow you to "purchase" the learning path for free.

Introduction: This course provides a practical, editor-focused overview of the ArcGIS Pro Contents pane and its six primary organizational tabs, emphasizing how each can be used to improve efficiency, accuracy, and map readability during day-to-day workflows. While underlying data is managed by administrators through the geodatabase, the Contents pane offers powerful tools that allow users to control layer visibility, drawing order, selection behavior, editability, snapping, and labeling without altering the data itself. Through a combination of conceptual explanations and hands-on walkthroughs, learners gain a clear understanding of how each tab presents the same layers through a different functional lens, enabling better control over complex maps, reducing errors during editing, and streamlining common tasks such as feature creation, QA/QC, and visual review.   Topics Covered: Contents pane overview and activation In-depth overview of how to utilize each contents pane tab Read more

Introduction: This course provides a practical introduction to attribute rules in ArcGIS Pro, covering how they can be used to automate data entry, enforce business logic, and improve overall data quality within a GIS database. Learners will explore the three primary rule types — calculation, constraint, and validation — and will be guided through hands-on walkthroughs configuring real-world examples relevant to telecommunications GIS workflows. Topics include automatically generating formatted identifiers, counting related records for use in feature labels, enforcing spatial proximity constraints, working with the Arcade expression builder, and understanding trigger configurations. The course also emphasizes best practices such as adding comments to expressions, saving edits before entering the Attribute Rules window, and leveraging AI tools and search engines to build expressions without prior coding experience. By the end of this course, learners will have the foundational knowledge and hands-on experience needed to begin incorporating attribute rules into their own geodatabase environments. The data for this course can be downloaded <HERE>.  Once downloaded, unzip the file to extract the contents before beginning the course.  Topics Covered: Configuring calculation rules to automate field population Building, importing, and validating Arcade expressions Configuring constraint rules to enforce editing conditions Understanding and configuring rule triggers and triggering fields Best practices for working with attribute rules Read more

Introduction: This course walks you through the process of configuring custom keyboard shortcuts in ArcGIS Pro to streamline your day-to-day GIS workflows.  You will learn how to navigate the Keyboard Shortcuts Configuration window, search for existing shortcuts to avoid conflicts, and assign new shortcuts to frequently used tools — specific tools including the Select by Rectangle, Network Manager, Connector, and Splice Analysis tools. By the end of this course, you will be able to execute common tasks without leaving the map environment, reducing mouse movement and improving overall efficiency.  This course is recommended for any CrescentLink user looking to work faster and more consistently within ArcGIS Pro. Topics Covered: Opening the Keyboard Shortcuts window Managing custom keyboard shortcuts Read more

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. The data for this course can be downloaded <HERE>.  Once downloaded, unzip the file to extract the contents before beginning the course.  Topics Covered: Editor-level vs. schema-level field configurations Controlling field visibility Designating fields as read-only Reordering fields Applying field highlights Configuring number formatting Project-level storage behavior and its implications Read more

Introduction: This course provides a comprehensive overview of the interface customization options available within ArcGIS Pro, with a focus on improving workflow efficiency through thoughtful tool organization.  Learners will explore two primary customization methods — the Quick Access Toolbar and custom ribbon tabs — and will be guided through hands-on walkthroughs covering how to add individual tools, existing tool groups, and custom tool groups to both.  The course also covers important nuances such as managing tool placement, resolving duplicate tools, understanding the behavioral differences between persistent and contextual tabs, and knowing when an application restart is required for changes to take effect.  Additionally, learners will learn how to export and import customization configuration files, enabling consistent tool layouts to be shared and applied across an entire organization.  By the end of this course, learners will have the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to build a personalized ArcGIS Pro environment that reduces ribbon navigation, minimizes workflow interruptions, and supports a more efficient day-to-day working experience. No special downloads or project files are required for this course. Toolbar configuration settings are stored locally within your ArcGIS Pro installation rather than within individual project files, meaning any existing ArcGIS Pro project can be used to follow along with the hands-on portions of this course. Topics Covered:  Managing the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) Creating custom ribbon tabs Adding Individual tools to a custom tab Adding existing tool groups to a custom tab Creating your own custom tool groups Importing/Exporting configuration files Read more
