ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a critical element of any customer data management plan. The process ensures the addresses in the database of a company match the proof of address documents such as tax stubs, pay stubs, or returns.
A centralized contact database is also helpful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards, and also for managing other personal projects. Here are some tips for collecting 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 offers an array of capabilities to assist in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continually improve address data quality and share authoritative addresses with external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification teams, and others responsible for the collection, maintenance and use of road centerlines that are authoritative and valid site addresses and the associated postal addresses. It also includes 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 the process of collecting postal and site addresses for all buildings or structures, sites, and buildings that require an identification number. This information is crucial for the creation of a road and street network that encourages secure and efficient commerce.
By following the steps of the Add Site Addresses Task you can build an entirely new feature within the Address Data Management task. Site addresses are unique to the structure they are serving or a specific area within a parcel. For example the site address could be the entry point for a driveway that serves one or more houses on the same parcel. The site address may also be an address for a service delivery location such as the fire station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to an address. Postal addresses are used to identify a structure, or any other structure, and provide contact information for the owner or occupant. The type of feature for site addresses and classification schema is based upon the status field that lets local governments categorize features into pending, temporary or current.
Imagine you are a supervisor within an address authority, and your team has been assigned to verify a incorrect address report supplied by an outside stakeholder. Using the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and search for the address in question. Select the address that is missing and then click Edit. Enter the correct address details including the street's name and municipality. Then, tap Submit (iOS) or the check mark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a space to organize your work, store files, and access a variety of tools and functionality. A project can be a combination of scenes, maps layers, layouts, and layers to display your data the way you want it. It may also include connections to databases, folders, and resources for importing or exporting data.
Every item in a project includes a set of metadata that describes it. The metadata of a project can assist you find items, analyze and decide which ones are best for your current project. It can also be used to document the project's contents. An example of metadata would be the name and description of a map or scene. You can edit the metadata for each item within an application by clicking the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window.
ArcGIS Pro is reusable. The project's components (such as scenes and maps) can be incorporated into other projects. 링크모음 (such tools or geodatabases), can also be moved from one location to another. Many of the items can be accessed via connections without the need to store them in the project file.
The Project tab is located on the home page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a recently completed project or create a completely new project by using a template. For instance, you could create a new project by using the Map template which opens with a map view showing a topographic basemap.
You can save a project to a location on your local computer or to a folder in your active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you wish to save your project in an appropriate folder, you can look up the Create folder for this project on the New Project dialog.
If you can, it's a good practice to locate your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to cut down on round-trip time for communication. You may not be able to locate all these components on a single computer or you might prefer sharing data, project files and other resources over networks.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools placed in a Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create sources and target configuration files, as well as load and replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, allow staff to transform and load data sources into a layer for a community and automate updates on a regular base. These tools allow you to modify the solution to fit your particular organization.
Install the Data Assistant add-in on each ArcGIS Pro computer that will be used to migrate data to one or more layers of community. To download the add-in, go to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click on the Data Assistant item.
Follow the steps for installation after the add-in is downloaded. After installation, you must close any open ArcGIS applications prior to opening the new ArcGIS Pro session. Once you have installed the add-in, you can launch 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 when the Data Assistant Addin has been launched. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and settings of the source-target configuration. Once configured the Replace Data tool will replace data in the dataset target from the source layer based on the settings that you select. This tool allows you to stage results locally and skip final processing if you just replace data on a subset records.
Data Management
Address data is vital for most companies. It must be accurate and reliable, as well as standardized. It doesn't matter if it's for routing mail, offering location services on a site or for marketing to prospects and customers poor data can be disastrous. It is essential that companies implement an address management system.
An address management system is a procedure for maintaining a standardized and verified set of addresses. It allows you to manage your address database easily and ensure that it is in line with the guidelines of the national postal authority of your country. It also lets you verify and correct inaccurate 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 it is able to connect to the official USPS database to verify an address instantly. This will save time and increase accuracy of data.
The solution to this problem is to create an authoritative address repository that can meet various information needs and to continuously improve it through data quality processes. To achieve this goal it is necessary to develop an address standard, optimize processes to store and capture information, develop audit controls, and assign ownership over this information, and ensure that it is accessible to all parties.
An effective approach is to integrate the process of collecting addresses in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM is an instrument that manages many different types of critical business data, including address information. By integrating your address verification API with your MDM it is possible to update and cleanse the data in real-time, without manual effort.
To begin collecting and storing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add anyone responsible for checking addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with the Mobile Worker role. They can then go out into the field to collect new addresses, and verify crowdsourced data. Once they are completed, they can upload addresses to the office assigned to them in the office to get them added to the authoritative layer of site addresses and marked incorporated.
