ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an important element of any strategy to manage customer data. It ensures that the addresses in the company's database match those on customers documents that prove address, such as pay statements and tax returns.
A central database of contacts can also be useful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards and also for managing other personal projects. Here are some ideas on how to collect and organize contact information in the most efficient way 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 both internal and external stakeholders. The solution comes with a project for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams as well as address verification teams and other personnel who are responsible for collecting, maintaining and utilizing authoritative road centerlines and valid address data for sites. It also comes with a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to validate and maintain the accuracy of address data.
Address data capture is a method 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 development of a street and road network that promotes secure and efficient commerce.
The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the structure they are used for or a specific location within the parcel. A site address could be the entrance to a driveway that serves one or more houses on a parcel. The address of the site can also be used as a point of contact for a service point, such an emergency response station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to an address. Postal addresses are used to identify a structure, or other structure and provide contact information for the owner or the occupant. The site address feature type and classification schema is based on a status field, which lets local authorities to categorize their features into temporary, pending or current.
Assume you are a supervisor for an addressing authority and your team is assigned to verify an incorrect address report received from an external stakeholder. Using the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and search for the address in question. Select the missing address and then click 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
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a place for you to organize your work, save files, and use a variety of tools and functionality. A project can be a combination of scenes, maps, layouts, layers, and layers which display your data the way you want to view it. It may include hyperlinks to databases, folders and other resources for importing and exporting data.
Each item in a project is accompanied by a set or attributes that describe it, or its metadata. A project's metadata can help you identify items, assess them, and determine which ones are the best to use for the task at hand. It can also be used to record the project's contents. 링크모음 of metadata would be the description and name of a scene or map. You can edit the metadata for each item within a project by clicking on 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 transferred to other projects. Project components (such a geodatabases or toolboxes) can also be moved from one location to another. Additionally, many of the items can be accessed using connections without being stored in the project file itself.
When you launch ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab appears on the start page with the option to open a previous project or create a brand new project from a template. It is possible to create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has a topographic basemap.
You can save your project to the local computer or to the active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you wish to save your project in a folder you can check the Create folder for this project from the New Project dialog.
If you can, it's a recommended to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to speed up round-trip communication. It's possible to find all of these components on a single computer or you might prefer to share project files, data, and other resources over a network.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of focused tools organized on a Data Assistant toolbar. These tools allow you to create source-target configuration files and load or replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction the Community Data Aggregation Solution, enable staff to transform and load sources of data into an aggregated layer for community use and automate updates on a regular base. These tools let you personalize the solution for your company.
Install the Data Assistant add-in on each ArcGIS Pro computer that will be used for data migration 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.
Follow the installation instructions after the add-in is downloaded. Close all open ArcGIS applications before you start a new ArcGIS Pro. Once installed, you can launch the add-in by clicking the Data Assistant icon in the ArcGIS Pro toolbar.
You can create a Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box once the Data Assistant Addin has been started. This lets you define the mapping of fields and settings for a chosen source-target configuration file. Once the configuration file is set you can use the Replace Data tool to replace data in the target dataset from the source layer based on the settings you have selected. This tool also supports the ability to stage results in local databases and skip the final process by replacing data only on a small subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is critical for most businesses and has to be accurate, reliable and standardized. Unreliable data can cause disastrous consequences, whether for routing mail, location services on a website, or marketing to clients and prospects. This is why it's crucial to ensure that all businesses have an effective system for managing addresses.
An address management system is a process to maintain a standard and verified list of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up-to current and ensures that it complies with national guidelines, such as the ones provided by your country's postal authority. It also allows you to verify and correct inaccurate addresses provided by external or internal stakeholders.
USPS for instance maintains a database of verified addresses. It also offers the certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). CASS-certified solutions such as PostGrid can directly connect to the official USPS database and instantly verify an address. This will save time and increase accuracy of data.
The solution to this issue is to create an authoritative address repository that can meet diverse information needs and continuously improve it through data quality processes. Achieving this goal requires the creation of an address standard, enhancing processes to collect and store address data, creating audit controls, assigning ownership over this information set and ensuring it is available 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 a tool that deals with various types of crucial business information, including address data. By connecting your address verification API into your MDM it is possible to update and cleanse 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 accountable for verifying address in the field using a mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. Then, they'll travel out into the field and use the application to collect new addresses and verify the information collected from crowdsourced sources. When they're completed, they can upload the addresses back to the work assignment in the office to have them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked incorporated.
