ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a crucial aspect of any plan for customer data management. The process makes sure that the addresses on the database of a company match the proof 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 for managing other personal projects. Here are some suggestions for collecting and organizing contact information in the most efficient way you can.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set capabilities that help maintain a repository of authoritative addresses, enhance the quality of address data and share authoritative address information with both external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with a project for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams as well as address verification teams and other people responsible for collecting, storing, and using authoritative road centerlines as well as valid site addresses. It also comes with a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to verify and maintain the accuracy of address data.
Address data capture is the process of capturing site and postal address for all buildings, sites, and structures that require an identification number. This information is essential for the development of a street and road network that encourages secure and efficient commerce.
The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique for the location or structure they serve within a parcel. A site address may be the entrance to a driveway that is used by one or more houses on a parcel. The site address can also be used as a contact point for a service point like a fire station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to an address. Postal addresses are used to identify a building, 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, which allows local governments categorize features into temporary, pending or current.
Imagine you are a supervisor within an authority for addressing and your team is given the task of confirming an incorrect address report submitted by an outside stakeholder. Utilizing the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and look up the address in question. Select the address that is missing and then click Edit. Enter the correct address information including the street's name and the municipality. Then tap Submit (iOS) or the check mark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a location to organize your work, save files, and use many tools and functionality. A project could be an array of maps, scenes, layouts, layers, and layers that display your data as you want to view it. It may also include connections to folders, databases, and resources to import or export data.
Every item in a project is accompanied by metadata that describes the item. The metadata of a project can help you to find items, assess and determine which ones are suitable for your current project. It can be used to record a project's content. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or an entire scene. Clicking the Properties button in the toolbar, or the Details window, allows you to modify the metadata of every item in the Project.
ArcGIS Pro is reusable. The project's components (such as maps and scenes) can be incorporated into other projects. Also project components (such as geodatabases and toolboxes) can be moved or renamed from one location to another. Many items can also be accessed via connections, without having to save them in the project file.
When you start ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab will be displayed on the start page with options to open a recent project or create a new project from a template. It is possible to create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has the topographic basemap.
You can save a project to an area on your local computer or to a folder on your portal that is active. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you would like to save your project in an appropriate folder, you can look up the Create folder for this project in the New Project dialog.
It's a good idea keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files all on the same computer to cut down on the amount of communication. It's possible to locate all of these components on one computer or you might prefer sharing data, project files and other resources over a network.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of targeted tools arranged on the Data Assistant toolbar. These tools allow you to create source-target configuration file and load or replace data.
When utilized in conjunction 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 to the layer on a regular basis. These tools allow you to personalize the solution for your particular organization.
Install the Data Assistant add-in on each ArcGIS Pro computer that will be used for data migration to one or more layers of community. To download the add-in, navigate to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item.
Once the add-in is downloaded Follow the installation instructions to install it. After installation, you must close all open ArcGIS applications before opening a new ArcGIS Pro session. After the add-in has been installed, you can start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar.
You can create an Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box once the Data Assistant Addin is launched. This lets you define the mapping of fields and settings for a selected source-target configuration file. Once it is configured the Replace Data tool will replace data in the dataset target from the source layer according to the settings you have selected. This tool lets you stage results locally and skip the final processing if you are only replacing data in a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is essential to most businesses and needs to be reliable, accurate, and standardized. Bad data can have disastrous effects, whether it's for routing mail or the ability to locate a site or for marketing to clients and potential customers. This is the reason it's vital to ensure that all businesses have an effective address management system.
An address management system is a method to maintain a uniform and verified set of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up to date and ensure that it complies with the national guidelines, for instance those provided by the national postal authority of your country. It lets you validate or correct any incorrect information about addresses provided by internal or external stakeholders.
For example the USPS maintains a list of verified addresses, and also provides a certification called CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). An advanced solution like PostGrid is certified by CASS that means it can connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This can speed up the process and improve accuracy of data.
The solution to this problem is to create an authoritative address repository that meets various information needs and to continuously improve it through data quality processes. Achieving this goal requires the creation of an address standard, enhancing processes to collect and store address data, developing audit controls, establishing the responsibility for this set of information and ensuring it is accessible to all stakeholders.
It is recommended to incorporate the address collection into your organization's master data management strategy. MDM is an instrument that manages various types of crucial business data, including address information. By connecting your address verification API into your MDM, you can cleanse and update the data in real time, without the need for manual intervention.
To begin collecting and managing their website To begin, you must create an ArcGIS work assignment and add any person who is responsible for verifying addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with a Mobile Worker role. Then, they can be out in the field and use the app to collect new addresses as well as verify crowdsourced information. Once they are done, they can upload the addresses back to the work assignment in the office to have them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked as incorporated.
