Feature Class Datasets

Feature Classes

Feature classes are a way of defining features (points, lines, polygons) that share attribute fields and a style. Feature classes help you standardize your data collection. The attribute fields included in a feature class are sometimes referred to as forms. Feature classes are housed inside of Feature Class Datasets.

Feature classes are available in the 'Add Feature' menu. You can manage feature classes and feature class datasets via the Options menu.

Feature Class Datasets

A feature class dataset is a group of feature classes and can include point, line, and polygon types. Feature class datasets allow you to group related feature classes for field use.
