ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution delivers a suite of capabilities that aid in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continuously improve address data quality and share authoritative addresses with internal and external stakeholders. The solution includes an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification crews and other staff responsible for the gathering, maintenance, and use of authoritative road centerlines, valid site addresses, and related postal addresses. It also comes with a set of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to confirm and maintain the accuracy of address data.
Address data capture is the process of collecting the postal and site addresses for all structures as well as structures, sites and structures that require an identification number. The capture of this information is an essential step in the development of a credible street and road network that ensures secure and efficient commerce and service delivery.
The Address Data Management task lets you create a new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the specific structure or location they serve within a parcel. For instance the site address could be the entry point for a driveway that serves one or more houses on a single parcel. The address could also be the point of contact for a delivery point like a fire station.
When you create a new website address, you are able to connect one or more distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses are linked to the structure of a building or other and provide contact details for the owner or its occupant. The type of feature for site addresses and classification schema is based upon a status field that lets local authorities to categorize their features into temporary, pending or current.
Imagine you are a supervisor for an addressing authority and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report that was provided by an external stakeholder. Utilizing the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and look up the address in the report in question. Select the missing address point and then tap Edit. Enter the correct address information including the street's name and the city. Tap Submit (iOS) or the checkmark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a space to organize your work, store files, and access a variety of tools and functions. A project could comprise of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts to display your data the way you would like it. It can include links to databases, folders as well as resources for importing or exporting data.
Each item in a Project has a set or metadata that describes it. The metadata of a project can help you to find items, assess and determine which ones are suitable for your current task. It can also be used to record the contents of the project. Metadata can be used to describe a map or a scene. The Properties button on the toolbar or the Details window, enables you to edit the metadata of each item in a Project.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the objects in them (such as scenes and maps) can be copied to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases) are also able to be moved from one location to another. In addition, many items can be accessed using connections without having to be stored in the project file itself.
The Project tab is located on the home page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a recently completed project or create a new project using a template. For example, you can create a new project using the Map template that opens with a map view showing an elevation basemap.
You can save a project to the local computer or to a folder on your portal of choice. The default location for your project is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you want to save the project to an appropriate folder, you can choose the Create a Folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.
It is a good idea to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files on the same computer to cut down on communication time. You might not be able to locate all of these components on one machine or you might prefer to share data, project files and other resources via the internet.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are organized into the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create source-target configuration files, and load or replace data.
These tools, when utilized in combination with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, allow staff to transform and load sources of data into an aggregated layer for community use and automate updates on a regular basis. Utilizing these tools, you can configure the solution to meet specific needs of your organization.
To use the Data Assistant Add-in you must install it on every ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to transfer data to one or more layers of the community. To download the add-in, browse to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click on the Data Assistant item.
After the add-in has been downloaded Follow the installation instructions to install it. After installing, close all open ArcGIS applications prior to opening a new ArcGIS Pro session. Once the add-in is installed, you can start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar.
click through the up coming page can create an Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box when the Data Assistant Addin has been activated. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and settings of a source-target configuration. Once the configuration file is set, you can run the Replace Data tool to replace data in the target dataset from the source layer according to the selected setting. This tool allows you to stage results locally and avoid final processing if you only replace data on a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is vital for all businesses. It has to be accurate and reliable as well as standardized. Bad data can have disastrous impacts, whether it's routing mail or location services on a website, or marketing to clients and prospects. It is essential that companies implement an address management system.
A system for managing addresses is a way to maintain a consistent and verified list of addresses. It enables you to manage your address database easily and ensure that it conforms to the guidelines set by the postal authority of your country. It lets you verify or correct incorrect address information submitted by external or internal stakeholders.
For example, the USPS maintains a database of verified addresses and provides an official certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). CASS-certified solutions like PostGrid can connect directly to the official USPS database and verify an address instantly. This can speed up the process and increase accuracy of data.
The solution to this problem is to establish an authoritative address repository that meets different information requirements and constantly improve it by implementing data quality processes. To achieve this, you will need to develop an address standard, optimize processes to capture and store information, develop audit controls, and assign ownership over this information, and ensure that it is accessible to all parties.
It is a good idea to integrate the address collection into your organization's master data management strategy. MDM is an application that handles many different types of critical business data, including address information. By integrating your address verification API with your MDM it is possible to update and cleanse the data in real-time, without manual intervention.
You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding the person responsible for verifying address information in the field by granting them a Mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. They can then travel out into the field and use the application to collect new addresses and verify information from crowdsourced sources. Once they have completed the task, they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment to get them added to the database and incorporated in the authoritative site address layer.
