Any time you add datasets to the map, you will see them listed in the Data dialog. The Data dialog provides a list of all the operational (i.e. non-base map) data in the map, shown by the display name defined on the Definition tab of the Properties window. The Data dialog also provides several high-level features for managing the appearance of datasets. The dialog's features are described in detail below.
