ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a crucial component of any plan to manage customer data. This process ensures that the addresses on a company's database match proof of address documents, such as tax stubs and pay returns.
A central database of contacts is also helpful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards, as well as managing other personal projects. Here are some tips on how to organize and collect contact information in the simplest way possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set capabilities that allow you to keep a database of authoritative addresses, enhance the quality of the data on addresses and share authoritative address information with external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification teams and other personnel 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, maintain, and improve 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 an identification number. Capturing this information is a necessary step in the development of a credible road and street network that supports efficient and safe trade and service delivery.
By 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 to the structure or location they serve within the parcel. A site address may be the entrance to a driveway that is used by one or more houses on the parcel. The address of the site can also be used as a point of contact for a service point like a fire station.
When you add a new site address, you may also associate one or more, distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses are used to identify a building, or other structure and provide contact information for the owner or occupant. The site address feature classification and type schema is dependent on a status field that permits local governments to categorize features as temporary, pending or current.
Assume you are a supervisor at an address authority and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report received from an external stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select the missing address 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
ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and save your work. They also give you access to a variety of tools and functionality. A project could consist of maps, scenes layers, layouts, and layers to display your data the way you would like it. It could also include connections to folders, databases, and resources to import or export data.
Each item in a Project is accompanied by metadata that describes it. Metadata for a project can help you find items, assess them, and determine which ones are best to use for the task at hand. It can be used to document a project's content. Metadata can be used to describe a map or an entire 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 is reusable. The items within the project (such as maps and scenes) can be copied into other projects. 링크모음 (such toolboxes or geodatabases) are also able to be transferred from one location to another. Many items can also be accessed via connections without having to save them in the project file.
The Project tab appears on the start page of ArcGIS Pro. You can select to open a recently completed project or create a completely new project by using a template. For instance, you can create a new project using the Map template, which opens with a map that shows an elevation basemap.
You can save your project to the local computer or to a folder on your active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you decide to save the project in an appropriate folder, you can choose the Create a Folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.
It's a good idea keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files all on the same computer to cut down on the time spent communicating. It's possible to locate all these components on one machine or you might prefer sharing project files, data, and other resources via 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 files, and load or replace data.
These tools, when utilized in combination with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, enable staff to transform and load sources of data into a layer that can be used by a community and schedule automated updates on a regular base. Utilizing these tools, you can set up the solution to meet the specific needs of 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 for free, go to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click the Data Assistant item.
After the add-in has been downloaded and installed, follow the installation steps to install it. It is essential to close all open ArcGIS applications before you start the new ArcGIS Pro. Once you have installed the add-in you can open the add-in by clicking on the Data Assistant icon 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 will enable you to 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 target layer from the source layer based on the settings that you select. 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 the majority of 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 website or for marketing to clients and potential customers. It is therefore vital to 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 national guidelines provided by the national postal authority of your country. It also lets you validate and correct erroneous address information provided by internal or external stakeholders.
USPS, for example, 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 that it is able to connect to the official USPS database to verify an address instantly. This will save you time and increase the quality of data.
The solution to this issue is to establish an authoritative address repository that can meet diverse information needs and continuously improve it with data quality processes. To achieve this goal, you must development of an address standard, enhancing processes to capture and store address information, establishing audit controls, assigning ownership over this information set and ensuring it is available to all stakeholders.
An effective approach is to integrate the address collection process in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM is an application that handles various types of crucial business data, including address data. By connecting your address verification API into your MDM it is possible to cleanse and update the data in real time, without the need for manual effort.
You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating 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 can then go out in the field and use the app to collect new addresses and verify the information collected from crowdsourced sources. Once they've completed their work they can add their addresses to the office work assignment to get them added to the database and added to the authoritative layer of site addresses.
