Start with the lightest tool that answers the question before opening heavier spatial workflows.
Measure
- Open the map toolbar measurement tools.
- Choose distance or area.
- Click the path or polygon you need to measure.
- Read the result in the measurement UI and clear when finished.
Use measurements for quick checks, not as a substitute for survey-grade field work.
Inspect features
- Select a feature on the map or from a spatial selection.
- Open the attribute / inspection panel.
- Confirm identifiers, key fields, and geometry context against your expectation.
For deeper row validation across an entire dataset, move to Data Store.
Layer summaries
When available, use layer analytics on the active data to summarize counts or numeric fields without exporting the layer.

FAQ
When should I use Data Store instead of map inspection?
When you need systematic field and row validation, schema checks, or downstream readiness — not a single feature glance.
