CViz Pro Tool Functions

Tool Purpose
Allocator Allocates future growth, housing, jobs, or other values across parcels or geographic areas based on user-defined rules and capacity.
Assumptions Creates variables that represent planning assumptions, scenarios, or user inputs used throughout an analysis.
Attributes Creates calculated fields and formulas to summarize, classify, or derive new information from your data.
Build-Out Estimates future development potential by calculating how land could be developed under existing or proposed zoning and planning rules.
Charts Visualizes analysis results using interactive charts to compare scenarios, trends, and key performance indicators.
Compare Scenarios Compares two or more planning scenarios side-by-side to quickly identify differences in results and performance.
Data Manages the data sources used in an analysis, including feature classes, tables, joins, and data connections.
Dynamic Data Connects analysis components so calculations automatically update when assumptions, scenarios, or underlying data change.
Indicators Measures and tracks performance metrics such as population, housing, jobs, acreage, fiscal impacts, or custom calculations.
Land Use Designer Creates and edits land use plans by assigning land use types, development characteristics, and planning rules across an area.
Layers Controls how datasets appear in the map, including visibility, drawing order, symbology, and analysis behavior.
Paint Quickly edits map features by painting or applying values, land uses, or classifications directly onto the map.
Saved Views Saves map extents, layer visibility, and display settings so users can quickly return to important map views.
Scenarios Creates, manages, and switches between multiple planning scenarios to evaluate different alternatives without modifying the original data.
Suitability Identifies the best locations for development or conservation by scoring and ranking land based on weighted planning criteria.
Templates Saves reusable analysis configurations so they can be applied consistently across projects.
3D View Visualizes planning scenarios in three dimensions to better understand development patterns, building heights, and terrain relationships.
Alerts Monitors planning conditions and notifies users when defined thresholds or analysis criteria have been met.
Help Opens the CommunityViz knowledge base, documentation, and in-product help resources.
