First Data-to-Map Workflow

This workflow establishes the habit Tamaat is designed around: verify the data first, then use it in a map with a clear purpose.

1. Find or bring in the source. Open Files if you need to locate an uploaded source asset. If the data already exists as a managed dataset, continue in Data Store.
2. Inspect the managed dataset. Confirm expected fields, representative values, usable geometry, and downstream readiness before styling.
3. Open your project. Return to Maps, open the project you created, and confirm its name matches the workflow.
4. Add and organize the layer. Add the verified data, give the layer a clear name, place it in a group if needed, and set visibility.
5. Inspect the result. Navigate to a representative area, select a feature, and compare geometry and attributes with Data Store.
6. Make the map communicative. Apply labels or symbols only when they make the intended pattern easier to understand. Keep the first map simple.

Outcome

You now have a project that connects a verified managed dataset to a purposeful map layer.
