If you are new to Sweet you may ask: What is Sweet for ArcGIS? The following sections might help answer this.

Sweet is a spatial data editor

Sweet is a simple to use spatial data editor for maintaining and collecting geospatial data held in the ArcGIS System. It provides a rich set of out-of-the-box editing capabilities.

Sweet is an application builder

An application builder provides a means of building an application for a group of users that is tailored to their specific workflow / task / job / activity. A purpose configured application is simpler for end users (as unnecessary functionality is removed), and focussed (as specific business processes are highlighted). Sweet is such an application builder, where:

  • capabilities can be added and removed.
  • an application can be themed, meaning it can be made to match the look and feel of the organisation that the app is being built for.
  • custom panels, commands, behaviours, shortcuts can all be added.

The Sweet Builder allows creators to build and configure one or more Sweet apps for different purposes and/or users. The users then use these apps in the Sweet Client to collect and edit spatial data.

Sweet is a rules-based editor

Data is collected and maintained in accordance with rules. Rules cover individual datasets and the relationships between data. Enforcing the rules means that data can be collected accurately without downstream time consuming QA processes.

Sweet allows spatial, attribute, and connectivity rules to be defined.
