I need to create a data dictionary in Pathfinder Office and then load it onto a Trimble unit. I will need to record dozens of species associated with one point feature, so I am wondering if it is possible to have only one drop down that contains all possible species, and design the data dictionary so that the Trimble operator can choose a species from the drop down, have it added to list, and then return to the same drop down to choose the next species, which would get added to the same list. What I am trying to avoid is having dozens of drop downs within my data dictionary. As I understand it now, it is only possible to have one drop down for each text selection (in my case species), so my data dictionary is congested with dozens of drop downs, making field data collection very inefficient. Additionally, there are literally 100's of possible species from which to choose in these drop down lists. Is it possible to program some kind of autofill in the Trimble units using Pathfinder? It would save time in the field if technicians could simply enter in the few first letters of a species and have it pop up, as opposed to scrolling through a list of several hundred species using the Trimble stylus. Thanks for any information.

I am creating file geodatabases for a team of 4 people. I am trying to figure out the best way to set up the databases so that when any team member uploads data, the file is updated for all team members. Kind of like a dropbox for ArcMap. Is ArcGIS online the best way to accomplish this?

I have an excel file that has a long list of field observations. For each field observation, I have an easting and northing UTM coordinate. I am looking to create a feature class that: 1) will use the data I have in the excel file to populate it's attribute table 2) is editable in Arcmap. When I simply try to add XY data, I cannot edit that layer. 3) display each field observation on my map. I need to be able to reference the attribute table for each data point. 4) is a part of an existing geodatabase. What is the proper way to do this? I did as crafty762 suggested, and utilized the "make XY event layer" tool, and that did create a layer that had an attribute table and displayed the points on the map...but I'd like to know how to add data to an existing point file feature class(a part of a geodatabase and not a shapefile)from an excel spreadsheet and have those points be visible and editable in Arcmap, as well as have the corresponding data within an accessible attribute table in Arcmap. Thanks Brian When you add your point feature class to an ArcGIS session it should automatically display each point as a point with a color. Is your point feature class a shapefile or from a geodatabase? Or are you talking that YOU just have a table with x,y coordinates on it? QUOTE=leobriant;366370]Hi, I'm new to GIS and I am having a problem with getting my point feature class to display the data points on the map. I have a point feature class with an attribute table that contains UTM coordinate columns. How do I get each point to display on the map? Thanks Brian

I'm looking to create a map that has a large area in the background, and then a magnified portion of that area within the same map. I have found the magnify tool in data view, but cannot create this type of graphic in layout view. any ideas? Thanks Brian
