ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a critical element of any customer data management plan. It ensures that the addresses in the database of the company match those on customers documents that prove address, such as pay tax returns and stubs.
A central contact database is also helpful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards as well as for managing other personal projects. Here are some ideas on how to gather and organize contact information in the most straightforward way you can.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution delivers a set of capabilities that assist in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continually improve the quality of data on addresses and share authoritative addresses with external and internal stakeholders. The solution includes an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification crews and other personnel responsible for the gathering, maintenance and use of authoritative road centerlines as well as valid site addresses and related postal addresses. It also comes with a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to verify and maintain the integrity of address information.
Address data capture is the process of capturing site and postal address for all structures as well as structures, sites and structures that require an identification number. Capturing this information is an essential step in the development of a credible road and street network that enables secure and efficient commerce and service delivery.
Following the steps of the Add Site Addresses Task You can create a new feature in the Address Data Management task. Site addresses are specific to the structure they are serving or a specific area within the boundaries of a parcel. For example an address on a site could be an entry point for a driveway which serves one or more homes on one parcel. The address could also be a point of contact for a delivery point, such as an emergency response station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to a site address. Postal addresses are associated with a building or other structures and provide contact information for the owner or its occupant. The site address feature type and classification schema is based upon the status field that lets local governments to categorize features into pending, temporary or current.
Assume you are a supervisor for an address authority and your team has been assigned to verify an incorrect address report from an external stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select 링크모음 missing point of address and then click Edit. Enter the correct information for the address, which includes a street name and municipality. Then, tap Submit (iOS) or the check mark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and save your work. They also provide access to a range of tools and functions. A project could be a combination of maps, scenes layers, layouts, and layers to display your data the way you want it. It could also include links to folders, databases and other resources for importing and exporting data.
Every item in a project has a set or metadata that describes the item. The metadata of a project can assist you to find items, evaluate and decide which ones are appropriate for your current project. It can be used to record the contents of a project. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or a scene. You can modify the metadata for each item in a project by clicking the Properties button on the toolbar or in the Details window.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the objects in them (such as maps and scenes) can be transferred to other projects. Project components (such a geodatabases or toolboxes), can also be moved from one place to another. Many of the items can be accessed via connections without having to save them in the project file.
The Project tab is on the main page of ArcGIS Pro. You can select to open a recently completed project or create a new project by using a template. For instance, you could create a new project using the Map template, which opens with a map that shows a topographic basemap.
You can save your project to either 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 into a folder you can check the Create folder for this project from the New Project dialog.
When possible, it's recommended to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to speed up round-trip communication. It's possible to locate all these components on a single computer or you may prefer to share data, project files and other files over networks.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of focused tools organized on the Data Assistant toolbar. These tools allow you to create source-target configuration file and load or replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction the Community Data Aggregation Solution, permit staff to transform and load data sources into a layer for a community and schedule automated updates on a regular base. 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 each ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to transfer data to one or more layer in the community. To download the add-in, browse to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click on the Data Assistant item.
Once the add-in is downloaded, follow the installation instructions to install it. After installing, close all open ArcGIS applications before opening another ArcGIS Pro session. Once installed, you can launch the add-in by clicking 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 activated. This dialog box allows you to define the field mapping and settings for the source-target configuration. Once configured you can then run the Replace Data tool to replace the data in the target layer from the source layer based on the setting you choose. This tool also provides the possibility of storing results in local databases and bypass the final process by replacing data only on a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is essential for most businesses and has to be accurate, reliable and standardized. Bad data can have disastrous effects, whether it's for routing mail, location services on a website or for marketing to customers and prospects. It is therefore vital that companies implement an address management system.
An address management system is a process to maintain a standard and validated set of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up to date and ensures that it adheres to the national guidelines, for instance those set by the country's postal authority. It also lets you verify and correct inaccurate addresses provided by internal or external stakeholders.
For instance the USPS maintains a database of verified addresses and provides the certification CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). Solutions that have been certified by CASS like PostGrid can directly connect 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 issue is to build an authoritative address repository that can meet diverse information needs and continuously improve it with data quality processes. Achieving this goal requires the creation of an address standard, enhancing processes to collect and store address data, developing audit controls, assigning ownership over this information set, and ensuring that it is available to all parties.
It is a good idea to integrate the address collection into your company's master data management strategy. MDM is an instrument that manages many different types of critical business data, including address data. By connecting your address verification API into your MDM it is possible to update and cleanse the data in real time, without manual work.
You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding anyone responsible for verifying address information in the field using a mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. Then, they can be out in the field and use the application to collect new addresses as well as verify the information collected from crowdsourced sources. Once they are done, they can send addresses back to the assignment in the office to get them added to the authoritative layer of site addresses and marked incorporated.
