After creating the catalog, you load raster datasets into it.
When you create a raster catalog, a table is created that lists each raster. You can display the table by selecting the
catalog in the Catalog tree, selecting the Preview tab, and clicking the Table option at the bottom of the window. You
can add fields to the table (such as source, creation date, and so on) to track the rasters. Right-click the catalog, click
Properties, and select the Fields tab. Then enter the additional fields as you would for any other table (see Creating
feature classes and tables earlier in this chapter).
You can also perform searches to query the raster catalog. You might do this to find only rasters of a specific date or
having a low percentage of cloud cover on an image. You can search by geography to view only those rasters that
coincide with your area of interest. (See Searching for data and maps earlier in this chapter.)
