## ABOUT 

This ArcGIS Pro project is created for the purpose of 
HabiTrak (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/habitrak/Default.aspx) program parcels editing 
by the participating agencies - City of Carlsbad, 
City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego 
- that are required to submit their annual HabiTrak changes data 
to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (https://wildlife.ca.gov/) 
for processing to output annual reports.

The GIS data editing work flow is laid out using the 
ArcGIS Pro Tasks (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/tasks/whatistask.htm) concept,
guiding the users through a step-by-step process 
to perform specific task associated with specific tools 
(custom Python scripts or built-in ArcGIS Desktop tools) 
to edit the Gain and Loss records in their Habitrak parcels.

## BASIC STEPS

1. Open the Pro project file (habitrakedit.aprx)
2. If not already opened, double click on the 'Habitrak Edit' task 
 under the Task item in the Catalog pane.
3. Follow the steps outlined in the Task pane. 
  * Import the local Habitrak feature dataset from your agency. 
    Do not directly edit on your enterprise data. Always have a backup. 
  * Edit the conservation records and parcel polygons. 
  * Save the new Projects feature class, Gain and Loss tables, 
    in the habitrak.gdb file geodatabase local to the APRX file folder.
  * Send the file geodatabase to CDFW.

## WHAT YOU WILL NEED

* ArcGIS Pro, current version 2.4.3
* The map project, which includes the entire folder called habitrakedit 
that includes this README file, the Pro project file (habitrakedit.aprx), 
the habitrak.tbx toolbox, the habitask subdirectory that contains 
the custom Python scripts used by the Habitrak Edit Tasks 
in the map project.
