What is Data Driven and page Driven?

What is Data Driven and page Driven?

Data Driven Pages allow you to quickly and easily create a series of layout pages from a single map document. A feature layer, or index layer, divides the map into sections based on each index feature in the layer and generates one page per index feature. Data Driven Pages can be based on a regular grid of polygons.

What are Data Driven Pages?

“Data Driven Pages” is the term used to describe some new functionality in ArcGIS 10 that allows you to create a multi-page map series from a single map document. Data Driven Pages are available at the ArcView license level.

What is the difference between keyword driven and data driven framework?

In keyword driven testing, the keywords that are developed represent an action. The data driven framework revolves around the data (maintained in excel, csv or any other file) which is updated for individual test cases without making significant changes to the test script logic.

Which is the default index layer in data driven pages?

The default index layer is the topmost polygon layer of the active data frame. The index layer defines the geographic extent of the main data frame for each page in the Data Driven Pages series. Each feature in the index layer drives, or defines, each page in the Data Driven Pages series.

How to create a series of data driven pages?

To create a series of Data Driven Pages, select a data frame from the Data Frame drop-down menu. The default Data Frame for Data Driven Pages is the active data frame. Only a single data frame can be selected as the main data frame.

How is page name defined in data driven pages?

As Data Driven Pages iterates through the features in the index layer and each page is defined, the attribute value for the chosen name field is used as the page name. The page name can be displayed on the Data Driven Pages toolbar. This can also drive a dynamic text element in the layout.

How does map rotation work in data driven pages?

As Data Driven Pages iterates through each page, an appropriate map rotation is applied to the Detail Data Frame based on the values of this field. If the value is null, Data Driven Pages uses a value of 0. Map rotation moves in a counterclockwise direction. If the value is negative, the rotation is clockwise.
