Labeling Features in ArcGIS Pro

4 GISP Credit Hours

Intended Audience

This course is intended for students who have some knowledge of ArcGIS Pro, and are looking to expand their knowledge of various labeling techniques for vector layers. Students should have some prior working experience with ArcGIS Pro and/or have taken our Learning ArcGIS Pro 1 class.

Software and Licenses

Students will need to have ArcGIS Pro (any license level) installed on their computers and have a valid login. This should be verified prior to the start of class.

Course Modules
  • Module 1: Introduction to Labeling in ArcGIS Pro
  • Module 2: Advanced Labeling Properties
  • Module 3: Labeling Properties at the Map Level
  • Module 4: Creating and Using Label Classes
Summary

The new ArcGIS Pro Shorts Series is a series of short, 4 hour (1/2 day) classes designed with a focus on a specific ArcGIS Pro topic. These classes provide a more focused, deep-dive study into a variety of topics.

Labeling can be defined as the process of automatically generating and placing descriptive text for features in maps.  A label is a piece of text on the map that is dynamically placed and whose text string is derived from one or more feature attributes.

In this class you’ll learn basic and advanced techniques for labeling vector feature classes using the ArcGIS Pro Maplex Labeling Engine. In the first half of the class you’ll learn basic labeling tasks including how to apply label symbols and define label properties as well as place labels relative to features. You’ll also learn how to control label visibility with scale ranges.

In the second half of the class you’ll learn how to define dynamic label expressions using the Arcade programming language, limit feature labeling with SQL clauses, and use advanced Maplex functionality to control label position, fitting strategy, and conflict resolution.

I strongly and highly recommend it

Matt Gubitosa, U.S. EPA

I really enjoyed the Python/ArcGIS course. For me the right balance between detail and overview. Good work!

Pal Herman Sund

I thought the course was very organized. The style of presentation and the lesson format worked well together. It made the information easy to understand. -

Class was well organized, well paced and I learned a lot.

Aleeta Zeller, Chattanooga RPA

These courses are great. I am so pressed for time this is the only way I can acquire extra skills these days. Thank you Eric for all your hard work!

Chris Hickin, NYC Fire Dept.

I have attended a number of instructor lead training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it.

Jason Warzinik, Boone County, MO

Really good course material. Very relevant subject matter.

Michael Philp, City of Springville, UT

Definitely got me "over the hump" of being able to grasp Python.

Joseph Monti

Very informative and knowledgeable course. It help determine which direction I should take my further GIS and web programming skills.
