What action should be taken when a map package preparation analyzer shows an error?

When a map package preparation analyzer shows an error, the appropriate action is to right-click the error and view possible solutions. This approach allows users to critically engage with the issue rather than simply dismissing it. By exploring the potential solutions presented, the user can identify the underlying problems causing the error and take informed steps to resolve them, ensuring that the map package is correctly prepared for use.

This process encourages a thorough understanding of the components of the map package, as well as adherence to best practices in GIS. It helps to maintain data integrity and ensures that any issues are dealt with before finalizing the map package, ultimately leading to more reliable and higher-quality outputs.

In contrast, ignoring the error could lead to unresolved problems that affect the final map product, while deleting the map package entirely would waste work and effort already invested in its creation. Restarting the application might reset some settings but would not address the root cause of the error. Therefore, actively seeking solutions is the best practice.
