This layer contains features that define the extent of the main data frame for each page in the series. Using this index layer, Data Driven Pages generates one page per index feature from a single layout. The index layer contains the \u201cdata\u201d that \u201cdrives\u201d the creation of the pages in the series \u2013 hence the name \u201cData Driven Pages\u201d. The index layer can also be used to define a number of other things that can be added to the maps, including the page name, page number, map scale, rotation angle of the data frame, and coordinate system. The index layer is often a rectangular grid, but other variations include extents for linear areas in a strip map series, or irregular shaped polygons that identify the areas of interest to map (e.g., ecological study areas, counties, states etc\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>To work with Data Driven Pages, there is a special toolbar that can be enabled by clicking Customize on the top bar menu, then clicking Toolbars, and then clicking Data Driven Pages.

Dynamic text has tags to automatically identify document properties such as the pathname and the time the .mxd was saved. In fact, any attribute for features in the index layer can be used for dynamic text and updated automatically with Data Driven Pages.

One of my goals when I was creating the template was to showcase Data Driven Pages and to help you become more familiar with their use. A second goal was to showcase how Data Driven Pages can help you create great cartographic products. This template is worth exploring if you are involved in map series production and you want to learn about a new faster and easier way to make attractive map books with ArcGIS.<\/p>\n<p>These are five interesting features in this template:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>This templates shows you how Data Driven Pages can be used to automatically update map elements, such as the bar scale, scale text and page number, and text, such as the title or page number, as the pages change.<\/li>\n<li>This template shows you how to label using a Page Definition Query so that only certain features appear on the appropriate Data Driven Page.<\/li>\n<li>This template shows you how to relate information in two different data frames (in this case, the keymap updates as the map extent for each Data Driven Page updates).<\/li>\n<li>This template shows you how to position a keymap (an inset map that shows an overview of the mapped location) in the optimal position on the layout depending on the extent of the data on each page.<\/li>\n<li>This template shows how an entire map book can be created and collated in ArcGIS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at each of these in a little more detail.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1: Automatic Updating of Map Elements and Dynamic Text:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I added a page name, bar scale, and scale text to the map surrounds that update with each Data Driven Page. The page name (that indicates the district number) is an example of dynamic text. The bar scale is worth noting because it is a normal map element that now updates with each Data Driven Page. The scale text is interesting because it can be inserted as a map element or dynamic text and in either case will update with each Data Driven Page. In this template, I inserted it as dynamic text to showcase this new option.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2: Use of Page Definition Query:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0At the larger scales this template shows the road and street network. For the legislative district atlas, only the street names that bound the districts need be identified.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads2.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Jan11Images\/ddp_street.png\" alt=\"DDP labeling\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 6: Smart labeling with Page Definition Queries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Using the new\u00a0<a title=\"ArcGIS Online Help: Using Page Definition Queries \" href=\"http:\/\/help.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgisdesktop\/10.0\/help\/index.html#\/\/00sr00000004000000.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Page Definition Query<\/a>\u00a0functionality available with ArcGIS 10, this template shows how you can achieve smarter labeling. Similar to other definition queries, Page Definition Queries allow you to specify with a SQL query which features or labels of a layer are drawn, but the difference is that they dynamically update for each page. With this functionality it is possible to restrict labeling, in this case, to the district shown on each Data Driven Page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads2.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Jan11Images\/ddp_page_def_query.png\" alt=\"DDP page definition query\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 7: Page Definition Query<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3: Relating Information from Different Pages:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0The keymap also updates to highlight the same district as the main map; this link between the main map and the keymap was set up through a Page Definition Query that was mentioned above. This new functionality brings added intelligence to the map by providing connections among data frames.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads2.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Jan11Images\/ddp_keymap_PDQ.png\" alt=\"DDP keymap PDQ\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 8: Keymap and Main Map in Sync<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>4: Determining the Optimal Keymap Position:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0The map template shows each legislative district for Massachusetts on a different page. I first designed the layout so that the keymap was placed in the top left corner of each page. Consequently, sometimes it overlapped the main map information. In order to maximize the space for the main map, an arcpy script was written to determine the extent of the mapped district and move the keymap to a corner where it did not cover any vital information. This customizable script is provided in the template.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads2.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Jan11Images\/ddp_keymap_move.png\" alt=\"DDP keymap\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 9: Optimal Keymap Locations<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5: Creating and Collating a Map Book:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This template shows a real world example of how to create a map book entirely in ArcMap.

For example, I made the cover page for the map book in ArcMap using graphic as well as data elements, and arcpy was used to collate the book into a single PDF document.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads2.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Jan11Images\/ddp_atlas.png\" alt=\"DDP atlas\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 10: Collating the Legislative District Atlas<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Data Driven Pages are definitely worth exploring if you are involved with any map book or map series projects.
