• This video GIS tutorial will demonstrate how to add free form text descriptors to your feature labels in Simple GIS Client

• Auto labeling features in Simple GIS Client
• Adding free form text as descriptors before and/or after your field labels.​

• This video GIS tutorial will demonstrate adding derived geometry fields as calculated fields in a feature layer's attribute table.  Derived geometry fields allows the user to display specific characteristics (x & y coordinate, length, perimeter, and area)  for each records feature within the attribute table.

• Adding calculated fields to a table
• Types of derived geometry fields based upon feature layers' geometry type (point, polyline, polygon)
• Setting the units of measurement for your derived geometry fields.

• This video GIS tutorial will demonstrate creating calculated fields in a feature layer's attribute table using the Calculated Field Expression builder.  

• Creating Drive Time Rings with Census Data
• Adding a calculated field to normalize field values
• Using the Data Explorer to visualize results
