ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection Address collection is a crucial element of any plan for managing customer data. This process ensures that the addresses on the database of a company are in line with the authenticity of address documents, such as tax stubs and pay returns. A centralized contact database can also be useful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards as well as managing other personal projects. Here are some suggestions on how to organize and collect contact information in the most efficient way possible. ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government offers a range of capabilities that allow you to keep a database of authoritative addresses as well as improve the quality of address data and share authoritative address information with external and internal stakeholders. The solution includes an application for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams and address verification teams and other people who are responsible for collecting, maintaining and utilizing authoritative road centerlines and valid address data for sites. It also includes preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used to verify maintaining, enhancing, and confirming the accuracy of address information. Address data capture is a process that consists of the collection of site and postal addresses for all structures, buildings and sites that require a unique identification number. This information is crucial for the creation of a road and street network that encourages secure and efficient commerce. The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new address for your site feature by following the steps of the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique for the location or structure they serve within the parcel. A site address may be the entrance to a driveway that serves one or more houses on the parcel. Site addresses can also be used as a point of contact for a service center, such a fire station. You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to a site address. Postal addresses serve to identify a building or any other structure, and provide contact details for the owner or the occupant. The site address feature classification and type schema is built on a status field which allows local governments to categorize features as pending, temporary or even current. Imagine that you are a supervisor within an authority for addressing and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report supplied by an outside stakeholder. By using the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and look up the address in question. Select the address that is not in the map and tap Edit. Enter the correct details for the address, including a street name and a municipality. Then, tap Submit (iOS) or the check mark (Android). ArcGIS Pro Project ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and store your work. They also offer access to a variety of tools and functionality. A project can comprise of maps, scenes layers, layouts, and layers to display your data in the way you would like it. It could also include hyperlinks to databases, folders as well as resources for importing or exporting data. Each item in a Project has a set or metadata that describes it. The metadata of a project can help you find items, analyze and decide which ones are suitable for your current task. It can also be used to record the contents of the project. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or an entire scene. The Properties button on the toolbar or the Details window, allows you to edit the metadata for each item in the Project. ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable—the elements within them (such as maps and scenes) can be copied to other projects. Project components (such a geodatabases or toolboxes), can also be moved from one location to another. A lot of items can be accessed via connections without having to save them in the project file. When you launch ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab will be displayed on the main page, with options to open a recent project or create a brand new project from a template. For example, you can create a new project using the Map template, which opens with a map view showing a topographic basemap. You can save your project either to the local computer, or to the portal that is active. The default project location is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you choose to save the project in an appropriate folder, you can choose the Create a Folder for this local project checkbox on the New Project dialog box. When possible, it's recommended to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to reduce round-trip communication time. In some cases however, you may not be able to locate these components on the same computer or you may want to share your data, project files and other resources on the network. Data Assistant Add-in The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of tools that are focused and arranged on a Data Assistant toolbar. These tools let you create source and target configuration files and load or replace data. These tools, when used in conjunction 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. in the know let you modify the solution to fit your particular 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, navigate to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item. Follow the instructions for installation after the add-in is downloaded. You must close all open ArcGIS applications before you start an entirely new ArcGIS Pro. Once the add-in is installed, you are able to start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar. After the Data Assistant Add-in is launched, you can create the Data Mapping file by using the Configure Data Mapping dialog box. This dialog box allows you to define the field mapping and settings for the source-target configuration. Once it is configured the Replace Data tool will replace data in the target layer from the source layer according to 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 of records. Data Management Address data is crucial for all companies. It has to be accurate and reliable as well as standardized. Whether it is for routing mail, offering location services on a site or for marketing to potential customers and clients, bad data can be devastating. Therefore, it is crucial to implement an address management system. An address management system is a procedure to maintain a standard and verified set of addresses. It lets you manage your address database easily and ensure it adheres to the national guidelines provided by the postal authority of your country. It allows you to validate or correct incorrect address information submitted by external or internal stakeholders. USPS, for example maintains a database with verified addresses. It also provides a certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). Solutions that have been certified by CASS such as PostGrid can directly connect to the official USPS database and verify an address instantly. This can save time and increase accuracy of data. The solution to this problem is to establish an authoritative address repository that meets different information requirements and constantly improve it by implementing data quality processes. This requires the creation of an address standard, optimizing processes for capturing and storing address data, creating audit controls, establishing the responsibility for this set of information and ensuring it is available to all parties. An effective approach is to incorporate the address collection process in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM is a tool that deals with many different types of critical business data, including address information. Integrating your address verification API into your MDM allows you to update and cleanse data in real-time without the need for manual intervention. You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding the person responsible for verifying address information in the field with a Mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. Then, they can travel out into the field and use the app to collect new addresses as well as verify information from crowdsourced sources. Once they have completed their work they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment in order to have them marked as incorporated and added to the authoritative layer of address information on a website.
