ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an important aspect of any plan for managing customer data. This process ensures that addresses in the database of the company are in line with those on the customers' proof of address documents, such as pay tax returns and stubs.
A central contact database can be used to manage personal projects, like sending holiday cards or wedding invitations. Here are some tips to collect and organize contacts in the most efficient way possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set of capabilities that allow you to maintain a repository of authoritative addresses and improve the quality of address data, and share authoritative address 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 maintenance, collection, and use of authoritative road centerlines, valid site addresses, and related postal addresses. It also comes with a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used for validating, maintaining, and improving the accuracy of address information.
Address data capture is the process of collecting site and postal address for all structures, sites, and structures that require an identification number. This information is crucial for the creation of a street and road network that encourages secure and efficient commerce.
Following the steps of the Add Site Addresses Task You can create a new feature in the Address Data Management task. Site addresses are unique for the structure or location they serve within a parcel. For instance, a site address may be the entry point for a driveway which serves one or more homes on a single parcel. Site addresses can also be used as a contact point for a service point like the fire station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to a site address. Postal addresses are linked to a building or other structures and provide contact details for the owner or the its occupant. The feature type for addresses on the site and classification schema is based upon the status field that lets local authorities to categorize their features into temporary, pending or current.
Assume you are a supervisor of an address authority, and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report from an external stakeholder. By using the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and look up the address in the report in question. Select the address that is missing and then tap Edit. Enter the correct information for the address, which includes a street name and a municipality. Tap Submit (iOS) or the checkmark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a space to organize your work, save files, and access a variety of tools and functionality. A project could comprise of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts to display your data in the way you would like it. It may also include connections to databases, folders, and resources to import or export data.
Every item in a project is accompanied by metadata that describes it. Metadata for a project can help you locate items, assess them, and determine which ones are suitable to use for the task at hand. talks about it can be used to record the contents of a project. A good example of metadata could be the description and name of a scene or map. The Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window, allows you to edit the metadata of every item in a Project.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the objects in them (such as scenes and maps) can be transferred to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases) can also be moved from one location to another. In addition, many items can be accessed via connections without being stored within the project file.
The Project tab is located on the main page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a newly completed project or create a new project by using templates. You can create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has an topographic basemap.
You can save your project either to the local computer or to the active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you wish to save your project in a folder, you can search for the Create folder for this project from the New Project dialog.
If you can, it's a best practice to store your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same machine to cut down on round-trip time for communication. In some cases however, it's impossible to locate these components on the same machine, or you may prefer to share your project files, data and other resources over a network.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are organized in the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create sources and target configuration files as well as load or replace data.
When combined with the Community Data Aggregation solution, these tools allow personnel from the organization to transform and load data sources into a community layer and schedule automated updates of that layer regularly. These tools allow you to modify the solution to fit your organization.
Install the Data Assistant Addin on each ArcGIS Pro computer that will be used for data migration to one or more layers of community. To download the add in go to the Content section of ArcGIS 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 before opening another ArcGIS Pro session. After installation you can open the add-in by clicking on the Data Assistant icon in the ArcGIS Pro toolbar.
You can create a Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box when the Data Assistant Addin is launched. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and settings of the source-target configuration. Once the configuration file is set you can use the Replace Data tool to replace the data in the target layer from the source layer based on the setting you choose. This tool lets you stage results locally and skip the final processing if you only replace data in a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is crucial for all companies. It should be precise and reliable as well as standardized. Incorrect data can have devastating impacts, whether it's routing mail, location services on a site or for marketing to clients and prospects. This is why it's crucial that all businesses implement an effective address management system.
An address management system is a procedure to maintain a uniform and verified set of addresses. It allows you to manage your address database easily and ensure that it is in line with the national guidelines provided by the national postal authority of your country. It also allows you to verify and correct inaccurate address information submitted by internal or external stakeholders.
USPS for instance maintains a database of verified addresses. It also provides a certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). CASS-certified solutions like PostGrid can connect directly to the official USPS database and verify an address instantly. This can save you time and improve data quality.
The solution to this problem is to establish an authoritative address repository that can meet different information requirements and constantly improve it through data quality processes. To achieve this goal, you must development of an address standard, enhancing processes for capturing and storing address information, establishing audit controls, establishing the ownership of this data set and ensuring it is accessible to all stakeholders.
A good idea is to integrate the process of collecting addresses into your overall master data management strategy. MDM is a tool that deals with various types of crucial business information, including address data. By integrating your address verification API with your MDM you can update and cleanse the data in real time, without the need for manual work.
To begin collecting and managing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add the person responsible for verifying addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with a Mobile Worker role. Then, they'll be out in the field and use the application to collect new addresses and verify information from crowdsourced sources. After they're completed, they can upload the addresses back to the office assigned to them in the office to get them added to the authoritative site address layer and marked as incorporated.
