Python with Labeling and Calculate Field, Field Calculator (Module 5 of 9)

This video lesson, provided by the GeoTech Center, is from the fifth module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled Python with Labeling and Calculate Field. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

In the video, Vince DiNoto, director of the GeoTech Center, discusses using Python to assist with making decisions using the calculate field tool in ArcGIS Pro. Looking at six fields, DiNoto provides instructions for creating a script utilizing looping statements to decide the value of a new record in a certain field. This process is subsequently repeated for every row that is in the attribute table.

The video runs 10:04 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
