Overview of the Data Management toolsets

Provides a collection of toolsets that are used to develop, manage, and maintain the features within coverages and their attribute tables. These tools allow you to add fields (items) to tables, join tables, simplify lines, and build topology. There are also tools to create new coverages, manage coverage projections, append coverages, or convert features within a coverage from one feature class to another.

Toolset

Description

Aggregate

Contains the Append tool, which is used to combine coverages.

Composite Features

Contains tools to create or convert regions and routes within a coverage.

Generalization

Generalization tools derive coverages with less detail and complexity for analysis and representation at reduced scales or for special purposes.

Indexes

Contains tools that are used to add or remove coverage attribute indexes and INFO item indexes.

Items

Contains tools used to add or remove items (fields) in INFO tables.

Joins

Contains the Join Info Tables tool which is used to join INFO tables.

Projections

The Projections toolset contains tools to set a projection for, reproject, or transform a coverage. Properly projected data ensures accurate, reproducible representations and measurements with your GIS data.

Tables

Contains tools used for editing the feature attribute tables associated with each feature class within a coverage.

Tolerances

Contains a tool to adjust coverage-associated tolerances or resolution of coordinates in a coverage.

Topology

Contains tools used to develop the topologic relationship within a coverage.

Workspace Management

Contains the Create Coverage tool, which allows the creation of a new coverage using the tic, boundary, and projection files of another coverage or grid.
