Sometimes drawing a layer simply does not provide sufficient information about the items in the layer. In many cases, it is very useful to provide context information about the area around the project in some layers.

By using the enrich layer tool, you can add columns to the form. Data can be selected from demographic, commercial, and Policy collection. Each dataset has multiple variables and can be added to the form to help you understand the surrounding area of the position.

If you want to add data to an existing column, you must select the original data column to overwrite.

By default, data within one mile of each location is returned. You can change other distance values or use the driving time area. Click "edit.
