An overview of the Data Management toolset

The Data Management toolset is provided for various general usage tools. Currently this toolset includes twelve tools that will allow you to create convex hulls, new personal or file geodatabases, fishnets, random sampling points, export/import data to/from KML/KMZ format, export data to GeoRSS, extract maps and also rename multiple datasets.

The following table lists the tools available in the Data Management toolset and provides a brief description of each.
