ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a critical element of any plan for managing customer data. It ensures that the addresses in the company's database are in line with those on the customers documents that prove address like pay stubs and tax returns.
A centralized contact database can be used to send out wedding invitations and holiday cards, as well as managing other personal projects. Here are some tips for collecting and organizing contact information in the most efficient method possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set of capabilities that can help keep a database of authoritative addresses as well as enhance the quality of address data and share authoritative address information with both external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with an application for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams and address verification teams and other personnel responsible for collecting, maintaining and utilizing authoritative road centerlines and valid site 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 the process of capturing postal and site addresses for all buildings, sites, and structures that require an identification number. Capturing this information is a necessary step in the development of a reliable street and road network that enables secure and efficient trade 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 unique to the structure they are serving or a specific location within a parcel. A site address could be the entry point to a driveway that is used by one or more houses on a parcel. Site addresses could also serve as a point of contact for a service point like an emergency response station.
When adding a new site address, you may also connect one or more distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses serve to identify a building, or any other structure, and provide contact details for the owner or occupant. The type of feature for site addresses and classification schema is based upon a status field, which allows local authorities to categorize their features into pending, temporary or current.
Imagine you are a supervisor within an address authority, and your team is given the task of confirming an incorrect address report that was supplied by an outside stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select the missing address point and tap Edit. Enter the correct details for the address, which includes a street 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 many tools and features. A project could be the combination of maps, scenes, layouts, layers, and layers that present your data in the way you want to view it. It can include links to folders, databases as well as resources for importing or exporting data.
Each item in a Project is accompanied by metadata that describes the item. The metadata of a project can help you identify items, evaluate them, and determine which ones are the best to use for your current task. It can also be used to record the contents of the project. An example of metadata would be the description and name of a scene or map. You can modify the metadata for each item in a project by clicking on the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the elements within them (such as maps and scenes) can be copied to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases) can also be moved from one place to another. In addition, many items can be accessed using connections without being stored in the project file.
When you start ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab appears on the start page with options to open a recent project or create a new project from templates. You can create a new project by using the Map template. This opens a map with an topographic basemap.
You can save your project to an area on your local computer or to a folder on your portal of choice. 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 on the New Project dialog.
When possible, it's good practice to locate your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to reduce round-trip communication time. You might not be able to locate all of these components on one computer or you may prefer to share files, data, and other resources via a network.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are organized in the Data Assistant Toolbar. 링크모음 allow you to create the source and target configuration files, as well as load or replace data.
When utilized in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation solution they allow your organization staff to transform and load data sources into a community layer and schedule automatic updates to that layer on a regular basis. These tools let you modify the solution to fit your company.
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, navigate to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item.
After the add-in has been downloaded and installed, follow the installation steps to install it. Close all open ArcGIS apps before you can start a new ArcGIS Pro. After the add-in has been installed, you can start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar.
Once the Data Assistant Add-in has been launched, you can create the Data Mapping file by using the Configure Data Mapping dialog box. This allows you to define the mapping of fields and settings for a specific source-target configuration file. Once set, the Replace Data tool will replace data in the dataset target from the source layer in accordance with the settings you have selected. This tool also provides the capability to store results in a local database and avoid the final process by replacing data only on a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is crucial for all companies. It has to be accurate, reliable and standardized. For example, whether it's routing mail, offering location services on a site or promoting to customers and prospects bad data could be devastating. It is essential that companies implement an address management system.
A system for managing addresses is a method to maintain a standard and verified list of addresses. It helps you easily keep your address database up to date and ensures that it complies with the national guidelines, for instance those provided 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 for instance, the USPS maintains a list of verified addresses, and also provides an official certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). A modern solution like PostGrid is CASS-certified that means it is able to connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This can save time and improve data accuracy.
This issue can be resolved by building an authoritative address repository that can meet the needs of a variety of information requirements and continually improving it by implementing data quality processes. To achieve this goal it is necessary to develop an address standard, optimize processes for capturing and storing data, create audit controls, and assign the right to this information and ensure that it is available to all stakeholders.
An effective approach is to incorporate the address collection process in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM handles a range of different critical business data types including address data. Integrating your address verification API into your MDM allows you to clean and update data in real-time, without any manual effort.
You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding any person who is accountable for verifying address in the field with a Mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. They can then go out into the field to collect new addresses and verify the data collected by crowdsourcing. After they're done, they can send addresses to the office assigned to them in the office to get them added to the authoritative site address layer and marked incorporated.
