ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an important component of any plan for customer data management. The process ensures the addresses on the database of a company are in line with the authenticity of address documents, such as tax stubs and pay returns.
A central database of contacts can also be useful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards as well as managing other personal projects. Here are some tips for storing and organizing contacts in the most efficient method possible.
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 the quality of address data and share authoritative addresses with internal and external stakeholders. The solution includes an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be used by mapping technicians, address verification crews and other staff responsible for the collection, maintenance, and use of authoritative road centerlines and valid site addresses and the associated postal addresses. It also comes with a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to confirm and maintain the accuracy of address data.
Address data capture is a procedure that involves the gathering of site and postal addresses for all buildings, structures and sites that require a unique identification number. The capture of this information is an essential step towards the creation of an authoritative road and street network that ensures efficient and safe trade and service delivery.
The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new address for your site feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the structure they are used for or a specific area within the boundaries of a parcel. For instance, a site address may be the entry point for a driveway serving one or more houses on a single parcel. The address of the site could also serve as a point of contact for a service location like an emergency response station.
When you create a new website address, you can optionally associate one or more, distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses serve to identify a structure, or any other structure, and provide contact details for the owner or the occupant. The feature type for addresses on the site and classification schema is based on a status field that lets local authorities to categorize their features into temporary, pending or current.
Imagine that you are a supervisor in an address authority, and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report submitted by an external stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select the missing address point and tap Edit. Enter the correct address details, including the street 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 use a variety of tools and functionality. A project could be a combination of scenes, maps layers, layouts, and layers to display your data the way you prefer. It can also include hyperlinks to databases, folders as well as resources for importing or exporting data.
Each item in a Project is accompanied by metadata that describes the item. The metadata of a project can help you identify items, assess them, and decide which ones are the best to use for the task at hand. It can be used to record a project's content. Metadata can be used to describe a map or a scene. Clicking the Properties button in the toolbar, or in the Details window, allows you to modify the metadata for each item in the Project.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the items in them (such as scenes and maps) can be transferred to other projects. Also project components (such as geodatabases and toolboxes) can be moved or renamed from one location to another. In addition, many items can be accessed using connections without having to be stored within the project file.
When you launch ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab appears on the home page. It offers options to open a new project or create a new project using an existing template. You can create a new project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has the topographic basemap.
You can save a project either to a location on your local computer or to a folder within your portal that is active. The default location for your project is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you decide to save the project to a folder, you can check the Create a folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.
It's a good idea to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files on the same computer to reduce the amount of communication. You might not be able to find all of these components on one machine or you may prefer to share files, data, and other resources over the internet.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of targeted tools arranged on a Data Assistant toolbar. These tools allow you to create the source and target configuration files as well as load or replace data.
When combined with the Community Data Aggregation solution they allow your organization staff to transform and load data sources into a community layer, and schedule automatic updates to that layer regularly. These tools allow you to customize the solution for your organization.
To utilize the Data Assistant Add-in you must install it on each ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to migrate data to one or more community layers. To download the add-in, browse to the Content section of your ArcGIS company and click on the Data Assistant item.
Follow the instructions for installation after the add-in has been downloaded. After installing, close all open ArcGIS applications prior to opening another ArcGIS Pro session. After 링크모음 can open the add-in using the Data Assistant icon in the ArcGIS Pro toolbar.
You can create an Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box when the Data Assistant Addin has been launched. This lets you define field mapping and settings for a specific source-target configuration file. Once configured you can use the Replace Data tool to replace data in the target dataset from the source layer according to the settings you have selected. This tool also supports the ability to stage results in a local database and skip the final process by replacing data only on a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is vital for all companies. It should be precise, reliable and standardized. Whether it is for routing mail, providing location services on a website or for marketing to customers and prospects poor data can be devastating. It is essential to implement an address management system.
A system to manage addresses is a method to maintain a standard and verified list of addresses. It lets you easily maintain your address database and ensure it adheres to the guidelines of the national postal authority of your country. It lets you verify or correct any incorrect information about addresses provided by internal or external stakeholders.
USPS for instance, maintains a database of verified addresses. It also offers an accreditation known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). An advanced solution like PostGrid is CASS-certified which means it can connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This can speed up the process and increase accuracy of data.
This issue can be addressed by creating an authoritative address repository that can support diverse information needs and continually improving it by implementing data quality processes. This requires the development of an address standard, optimizing processes to capture and store address data, creating audit controls, assigning ownership over this information set, and ensuring that it is accessible to all parties.
A good approach is to integrate the address collection process in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM manages a variety of critical business data types such as address data. By integrating your address verification API into your MDM, you can cleanse and update the data in real-time, without the need for manual intervention.
You can begin collecting and managing addresses by establishing an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding any person who is responsible for verifying address in the field using a mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. They will then be able to go out into the field to gather new addresses and verify crowdsourced data. After they've completed the task, they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment to have them added to the database and added to the authoritative site address layer.
