Video overview

This video was created by the ArcGIS Pro development teams and the product support teams to highlight new functionality in this release.

Highlights

The Highlights section includes featured new functionality.

Generate a schema report

The schema of a geodatabase is made up of its datasets and their properties, relationships, and rules. The schema includes feature classes, tables, fields, domains, contingent values, attribute rules, and other geodatabase behavior. It can be thought of as your data model.

You can generate a schema report of your geodatabase in Excel, JSON, HTML or PDF format. Hyperlinks allow you to browse to and explore the elements of your schema, such as tables and feature classes, as well as their fields, properties, and behavior. The schema report comprehensively documents your data model and can serve many purposes. You can use it to plan and collaborate on schema updates, gather stakeholder support for the data model, assist in data migration workflows, keep historical records, and serve as a data dictionary.

Choose and edit a single workspace

You can set edit session options to require editing to be enabled manually and either let ArcGIS Pro manage workspace edit sessions or specify that a workspace be selected manually. Explicitly starting editing is also available as a system administrator setting.

If you choose the option to use single workspace edit sessions, when you start editing in a non-versioned enterprise geodatabase workspace, you can manually save and discard edits on the Edit tab of the ribbon.

Keyboard shortcuts environment

A customizable environment for working with keyboard shortcuts is available on the new Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. You can search for default shortcuts, modify existing shortcuts, and add new ones. You can display all shortcuts or just those that work in the current application state—for example, when a map view is active. Warnings are given if the same shortcut is assigned to commands that potentially conflict with each other.

Feature	Description
	Search for shortcuts by command name or keystroke.
	Browse to commands for which you want to add shortcuts.
	Assign different keystrokes to existing shortcuts.
	Turn off shortcuts to deactivate them. You can also delete shortcuts. All modifications can be reset to default values.

Thematic map series

You can now create thematic map series. In contrast to other map series types, in a thematic map series, the map frame on each page keeps the same extent, and the map data updates instead. Each page of the map series shows a different layer or group of layers in the map. The map series is built by iterating through all the features in a radio group layer, creating a page for each layer. Only one layer from the radio group is visible for each page; the other layers in the group are not visible. Layers outside the radio group are visible on each page in the map series.

New field data types

Four new field data types are available:

• Big integer—Supports 64-bit data. Stores whole numbers that exceed the range of -2.14 billion to 2.14 billion.
• Timestamp offset—Stores date and time values and can include a coordinated universal time (UTC) offset, such as 5/16/2023 10:00:00 AM -07:00.
• Date only—Stores a date value only, such as 2023-04-12.
• Time only—Stores a time value only, such as 10:00 AM.

You can add these field data types when you create feature classes or tables, when you modify tables in the Fields view, or when you use geoprocessing tools such as Add Field.

In addition, you can migrate Object ID fields to 64-bit for geodatabase feature classes or tables that need to store more than 2.14 billion records. You can also migrate date fields to high-precision format to store time in milliseconds.

On the left, the Field Type parameter on the Add Field geoprocessing tool shows the new data types. On the right, a Date field in a table is migrated to high precision.

Oriented imagery

You can manage, visualize, and explore collections of oriented imagery on a map. Oriented imagery includes oblique drone imagery, close-range inspection images, and street-level images taken by mobile devices.

Once an image collection is assembled in an oriented imagery dataset, it can be viewed on a map as an oriented imagery layer (with an optional footprint layer). The oriented imagery layer is an extended point feature layer that records the geographic location in which an image was acquired, the path to the image, and key metadata. The footprint layer is a visual reference showing the map locations that correspond to each image's field of view.

When you click a map location, the Oriented Imagery Viewer pane displays the best available image of that location. The best image for the location is based on the distance of the camera from the selected location, the camera heading (direction), and the obliquity (camera pitch). As you pan and zoom the image, its footprint updates dynamically on the map. You can use the Navigation tool and Image Gallery tool to explore additional images of the location.

Oriented imagery layers can be shared to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 portals.

3D basemaps

In local and global scenes, you can now add a 3D basemap when your active portal is set to ArcGIS Online. 3D basemaps enhance your scene with OpenStreetMap content that includes 3D buildings, trees, and labels. 3D basemaps are available for commonly used vector tile basemap types such as Topographic, Navigation, and Navigation (Dark).

Save items to a style

You can save all the style items in a project to a style. This takes all the symbols, colors, label placements, and layout items used in any map, scene, layout, or other project item and organizes them into one style. The style items are categorized by their associated project item, such as a layer or layout.

You can allow duplicates in the style—for example, there can be two versions of the same color, one used for labels in a map and another for the title of a layout. Optionally, you can streamline the style by saving only one instance of each duplicate.

Unless otherwise specified, the style has the same name as the project and is stored in the home folder. It is automatically added to the current project, where you can manage the style to edit style item names, tags, and other properties.

Performance and productivity

Performance and productivity have been improved in ArcGIS Pro 3.2. Some examples are listed below; you can find more throughout the topic and elsewhere in the help.

Analysis and geoprocessing

General

• When a geoprocessing tool input has a selection, highlight, or filter, you can use the toggle button to process all input records or a subset.

  

• Many geoprocessing tools with a Field Type parameter that supports the Long field type now also support the Big integer (64-bit integer) field type. Similarly, many tools that support the Date field type support the Date only, Time only, and Timestamp offset field types. See New field data types in the Highlights section.
• The field map parameter—used by Append, Merge, Export Features, and other geoprocessing tools—was redesigned for improved productivity and functionality. (The ArcPy fieldmap object did not change.) For example, the following enhancements were made:
  • The Field Properties window can be opened and resized to provide more space and increase the visibility of all field map capabilities.
  • The merge rules in the user interface are now referred to as actions.
• The processing extent control was redesigned and enhanced with new features. Processing extent is a parameter on some geoprocessing tools and is found in the environment settings for projects and geoprocessing tools.

  

  In the tool environment settings, you can specify the extent using the current display, a map layer, a specified dataset, or the intersection or union of inputs.

• Geoprocessing tools honor highlighted records in a selection, which can be used to process a subset of the selected records.
• The geoprocessing application options include choices for displaying additional information messages when you run tools. The message categories include geographic transformations, command syntax, and diagnostic messages.
• Multifile feature connection (MFC) datasets that use Parquet source files can be visualized in maps and used as input for most geoprocessing tools.
• You can customize the icon and description for models and script tools displayed on the ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar by clicking the icon on the General tab of the Tool Properties dialog box.
