Questions and CORRECT Answers
An ArcGIS user chooses a mobile device to perform a field survey of road damage in an area.
The user must obtain various types of information on the damage including surface type,
damage, location, and an image of damage to the surface. Which ArcGIS platform application
should be used for this task? - CORRECT ANSWER - Collector for ArcGIS
What is the default metadata style used by ArcGIS Pro? - CORRECT ANSWER - Item
Description
An ArcGIS user is editing a parcel layer to reflect the addition of a new subdivision. Which data
format will the user be able to edit? - CORRECT ANSWER - Shapefiles
An ArcGIS user has been tasked with creating a feature class of sidewalk centerlines in an
existing geodatabase. The sidewalk feature class must use the same spatial reference as the data
in the organization.
How should the Create Feature Class geoprocessing tool be used to get the correct spatial
reference? - CORRECT ANSWER - Import the spatial reference from an existing dataset
in the coordinate system parameter.
Where can an ArcMap user find the use limitations for a dataset? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Item Description

shared to the group.
How can the user efficiently achieve this in ArcMap? - CORRECT ANSWER - File >
ArcGIS Online > Sign In > Groups
