# 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.](/files/-Ll4uEOlR4PPewu-jdZ8)

## **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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.touchgis.app/feature-class-manager/feature-class-datasets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
