Difficulties

• Difficulties were encountered while
  integrating new codes with codes learned from
  class, and modifying these new codes to make them
  behave as needed.

10
Methodology

• Develop form containing Checkbox for selecting
  Landuse Planning attributes and tools for zooming
  and panning
• I used the form creation process from class, and
  combined codes and procedures from class
  exercises with codes that ESRI shares on the ESRI
  Developer Network
• I tested and assessed any bugs that surfaced
  during development, and fixed accordingly.

11
Time Table

• Day 1-2 Brainstorm and research any
• necessary new codes to build new custom form for
  selecting Landuse Planning attribute types. Have
  tools function together seamlessly.
• Day 3-6 Create form and code with new codes
• and familiar codes. Test bugs and fix bugs
  during development.
• Day 7 Finalizing testing under various
• scenarios and fix any unwanted outcomes.

12
Results

• A bug free form tool that allowa me to
• Select Landuse planning attribute types located
  within the San Francisco Enterprise Zone.
• Upon selection the tool allows me to zoom in/out
  and pan in all directions at current or full
  extent scale.

Potential Benefits

• Allow a user interested in the benefits of the
  San Francisco Enterprise zone to obtain business
  opportunity information, both qualitative and
  quantitative, quickly and efficiently.
