Having more information is often better. However, too much information can be overwhelming. Furthermore, isolating data to within your project area make a difference in your analysis.

The purpose of this workshop is to examine the methods to reduce the amount of data displayed to only the information important..

For example …

• What parcels are within 500 feet?
• Where are burglaries
• How many people live within ... ?
