ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an important component of any plan for customer data management. It ensures that the addresses in the database of the company are in line with those on the customers documents that show proof of address, such as pay stubs and tax returns.
A central database of contacts is also helpful for sending out wedding invitations and holiday cards, and also for managing other personal projects. Here are some tips on how to organize and collect contact information in the simplest way possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution delivers a set of capabilities that assist in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continually improve the quality of address data and share authoritative addresses with internal and external stakeholders. The solution comes with an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification teams and other staff responsible for the collection, maintenance and use of authoritative road centerlines and valid site addresses and associated postal addresses. It also includes a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used for validating, maintaining, and improving the integrity of address information.
Address data capture is the process of collecting the postal and site addresses for all structures 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 safe and efficient commerce.
The Address Data Management task lets you create a brand new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the structure or location they serve within the boundaries of a parcel. For instance the site address could be the entry point for a driveway serving one or more homes on the same parcel. The address of the site could also be the point of contact for a location to deliver services, such as an emergency response station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to a site address. Postal addresses are associated with the structure of a building or other and provide contact information for the owner or its occupant. The feature type for addresses on the site and classification schema is based on a status field that lets local authorities to categorize their features into pending, temporary or current.
Imagine that you are a supervisor within an authority for addressing, and your team has been assigned to investigate an incorrect address report that was provided by an external stakeholder. Utilizing the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and search for the address in question. Select the missing point of address and then click Edit. Enter the correct information for the address, which includes the name of the street and the 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 various tools and functionality. A project could consist of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts to display your data the way you prefer. It can also include connections to folders, databases and other resources for exporting or importing data.
Each item in a project is accompanied by a set or attributes that define it, or its metadata. home-page of a project can help you find items, assess and determine which ones are appropriate for your current project. It can also be used to document the contents of the project. Metadata can be used to describe a map or a scene. You can edit the metadata for each item in a project by clicking the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window.
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 place to another. In addition, many items can be accessed through connections without being stored in the project file itself.
The Project tab is on the start page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a newly completed project or create a new project by using templates. For instance, you could create a new project using the Map template that opens with a map that shows a topographic basemap.
You can save your project to either the local computer or to the portal that is active. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you want to save the project in an existing folder, select the Create a folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.
When possible, it's best practice to store your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same machine to reduce round-trip communication time. You might not be able to find all of these components on one computer or you might prefer to share files, data, and other files over the internet.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are organized in the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools allow you to create source-target configuration files and load or replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, enable staff to transform and load data sources into a layer that can be used by a community and schedule automated updates on a regular basis. These tools allow you to personalize the solution for your organization.
Install the Data Assistant Addin 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.
Follow the installation instructions after the add-in has been downloaded. After installation, you must close all open ArcGIS applications prior to opening a new ArcGIS Pro session. Once installed you can start the add-in using 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 is activated. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and the settings of the source-target configuration. Once configured, you can run 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 has the ability to stage results in local databases and avoid the final processing by replacing data only on a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is critical for all businesses and requires to be reliable, accurate and standardized. Whether it is for routing mail, offering location services on a website or promoting to customers and prospects poor data can be disastrous. It is therefore vital that businesses implement an address management system.
A system to manage addresses is a method to maintain a consistent and verified list of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up-to date and ensure that it adheres to national guidelines, like the ones provided by your national postal authority of your country. It lets you validate or correct inaccurate address information submitted by external or internal stakeholders.
USPS for instance maintains a database with verified addresses. It also provides the certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). Solutions that are CASS-certified like PostGrid can connect directly to the official USPS database and verify an address instantly. This can save time and improve data accuracy.
The solution to this issue is to establish an authoritative address repository that supports different information requirements and constantly improve it through data quality processes. To achieve this goal, you must development of an address standard, enhancing processes for capturing and storing address information, establishing audit controls, assigning the ownership of this data set, and ensuring that it is available to all parties.
It is an ideal idea to incorporate the address collection into your organization's master data management strategy. MDM handles a range of different critical business data types including address data. By integrating your address verification API into your MDM you can cleanse and update the data in real-time without the need for manual work.
To begin collecting and managing address data You must create an ArcGIS work assignment and add anyone responsible for checking addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with a Mobile Worker role. Then, they'll travel out into the field and use the app to gather new addresses and verify crowdsourced information. When they're done, they can send addresses back to the office assigned to them in the office to get them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked as incorporated.
