ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an essential aspect of any plan for customer data management. The process ensures that addresses in the database of the company match those on customers documents that prove address like pay stubs and tax returns.
A central contact database can be used to send out wedding invitations and holiday cards and also for managing other personal projects. Here are some suggestions on how to organize and collect contact information in the most straightforward method possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set of capabilities that help maintain a repository of authoritative addresses as well as enhance the quality of address data and share authoritative addresses with both external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be used by mapping technicians, address verification crews and other personnel responsible for the maintenance, collection, and use of authoritative road centerlines as well as valid site addresses and associated postal 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 a process that consists of the collection of postal and site addresses for all structures, buildings, and sites that require a unique identification number. This information is crucial for the development of a road and street network that facilitates secure and efficient commerce.
The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new site address feature by following the steps of the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the structure they are serving or a specific area within a parcel. A site address could be the entrance to a driveway that serves one or more houses on the parcel. Site addresses could also serve as a contact point for a service location, such an emergency response station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to an address. Postal addresses are used to identify a building or other structure and provide contact information for the owner or the occupant. The site address feature classification and type schema is based on a status field that permits local authorities to classify features as temporary, pending or current.
Imagine you are a supervisor for an address authority, and your team is given the task of confirming an incorrect address report provided by an outside stakeholder. Utilizing the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and search for the address in question. Select the missing address and then tap Edit. Enter the correct address information 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 place for you to organize your work, save files, and access many tools and functions. A project could be the combination of scenes, maps, layers, and layouts that present your data in the way you prefer to view it. It can also include connections to folders, databases and other resources to import or export data.
Each item in a project is accompanied by a set or attributes that describe it, or its metadata. Metadata for a project can help you locate items, assess them, and decide which ones are best to use for your current task. It can also be used to document the contents of the project. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or a scene. By clicking the Properties button on the toolbar or the Details window, allows you to modify the metadata of every item in a Project.
ArcGIS Pro is reusable. The items within the project (such as maps and scenes) can be transferred to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases) are also able to be moved from one location to another. In addition, many items can be accessed using connections without being stored in the project file itself.
The Project tab is on the home page of ArcGIS Pro. jujojula can choose to open a newly completed project or create a new project by using templates. You can create a new project by using the Map template. This opens a map with an topographic basemap.
You can save a project to an area on your local computer or to a folder on your active portal. The default project location 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 on the New Project dialog.
It is a good idea to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files all on the same computer to cut down on the time spent communicating. You may not be able to find all of these components on a single computer or you might prefer sharing data, project files and other resources over the internet.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are placed in the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create source-target configuration file and load or replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, allow staff to transform and load data sources into an aggregated layer for community use and schedule automated updates on a regular base. Using these tools, you can set up the solution to meet the specific requirements of your business.
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 for free, go to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click on the Data Assistant item.
Follow the instructions for installation once the add-in has been downloaded. It is essential to close all open ArcGIS applications before you start the new ArcGIS Pro. After the add-in has been installed, you can open 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 activated. This allows you to define field mapping and settings for a selected source-target configuration file. Once it is configured the Replace Data tool will replace the data in the target layer from the source layer in accordance with the settings that you select. This tool lets you stage results locally and skip the final processing if you are only replacing data on a subset records.
Data Management
Address data is critical for most businesses and has to be accurate, reliable and standardized. Incorrect data can have devastating impacts, whether it's routing mail or location services on a site or for marketing to clients and potential customers. This is the reason it's vital that all businesses implement an effective address management system.
An address management system is a method for maintaining a standardized and verified list of addresses. It allows you to effortlessly manage your address database and ensure that it is in line with the guidelines set by the national postal authority of your country. It also lets you verify and correct incorrect address information provided by external or internal stakeholders.
For instance, the USPS maintains a list of verified addresses and offers an official certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). An advanced solution like PostGrid is certified by CASS, which means that it is able to connect to the official USPS database to verify an address instantly. This will save time and increase accuracy of data.
This problem can be solved by building an authoritative address repository that can accommodate a variety of information needs and continuously improving its data quality through processes. To achieve this goal it is necessary to establish an address standard, optimize processes to capture and store data, establish audit controls, and assign the responsibility for this information, and ensure that it is accessible to all parties.
A good idea is to integrate the process of collecting addresses into your overall master data management strategy. MDM is an application that handles various types of crucial business data, including address information. Integrating your address verification API with your MDM allows you to update and cleanse data in real-time without any manual effort.
To begin collecting and storing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add the person responsible for checking addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with the Mobile Worker role. They can then go into the field to collect new addresses, and verify crowdsourced data. After they've completed the task they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment in order to have them added to the database and incorporated in the authoritative layer of site addresses.
