Creating a New Data Bind

Now, you can create a data bind by associating the non-spatial table with the spatial one. To create a new data bind:

  1. Open the Data Binding page.
  2. Click on the Create New button.
    The New Data Binding page appears.
    Option Description

The Select a Folder dialog box opens. Click on the New Folder button to create a new folder or you can select an existing folder from the list.

    You can view the folders in Tree view or List view. The Search option is availabe in the List View.
