ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is a critical component of any customer data management plan. It ensures that the addresses on the company's database correspond to addresses on customers documents that prove address like pay tax returns and stubs.
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 ideas 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 solution offers a set of capabilities that assist in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continually improve address data quality and share authoritative addresses with internal and external stakeholders. The solution comes with a project for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams and address verification teams and other people responsible for collecting, storing, and using authoritative road centerlines and valid site addresses. It also comes with a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used to validate maintaining and improving the integrity of address information.
Address data capture is a procedure that involves the collection of postal and site addresses for all structures, buildings and sites that require a unique identification number. This information is essential to 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 in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are specific to the structure they are used for or a specific location within the boundaries of a parcel. A site address could be the entrance to a driveway that serves one or more houses on the parcel. The site address may also be the point of contact for a service delivery location such as a fire station.
When adding a new site address, you may also associate one or more, distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses are used to identify a building or other structure and provide contact details for the owner or occupant. The site address feature type and classification schema is based on the status field, which lets local governments to categorize features into temporary, pending or current.
Assume that you are a supervisor of an address authority, and your team is tasked to investigate an incorrect address report provided by an external stakeholder. By using 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 name and the city. 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 various tools and features. A project can comprise of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts to display your data in the way you prefer. It could also include links to folders, databases and other resources for importing and exporting data.
Each item in a particular project is accompanied by a set or attributes that define it or its metadata. The metadata of a project will help you find items, evaluate and decide which ones are suitable 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. The Properties button on the toolbar, or the Details window, allows you to modify the metadata of every item in a Project.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the elements within them (such as maps and scenes) can be transferred to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases) can also be moved from one place to another. Many of the items can be accessed via connections without having to store them in the project file.
The Project tab appears on the home page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a recently completed project or create a brand new project using a template. It is possible to create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has the topographic basemap.
You can save your project to either an individual folder on your local computer or to the portal that is active. The default location for your project is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you would like to save your project in a folder, you can search for the Create folder for this project in the New Project dialog.
When possible, it's best practice to store your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to cut down on round-trip time for communication. In some instances however, it's impossible to locate these components on the same machine, or you may prefer to share your project files, data, and other resources across networks.
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 sources and target configuration files and load or replace data.
These tools, when utilized in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, allow staff to transform and load data sources into a layer for a community and schedule automated updates on a regular basis. Using these tools, you can configure the solution to meet specific requirements of your company.
To use the Data Assistant Add-in, you must install it on every ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to transfer data to one or more community layers. To download the add-in for free, go to the Content section of your ArcGIS organization and click the Data Assistant item.
Follow the steps for installation once the add-in has been downloaded. It is essential to 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.
You can create an Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box when the Data Assistant Addin has been activated. This dialog box allows you to define the field mapping and settings of the source-target configuration. Once configured the Replace Data tool will replace data in the target layer from the source layer in accordance with the settings you have selected. This tool also provides the possibility of storing results in local databases and bypass the final process by replacing data only on a small subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is crucial for all businesses and requires to be reliable, accurate and standardized. Incorrect data can have devastating impacts, whether it's routing mail, location services on a website, or marketing to clients and potential customers.

USPS, for example maintains a database with verified addresses. 링크모음 provides a certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy System). A more sophisticated solution such as PostGrid is CASS-certified, which means that it can connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This will save you time and improve the quality of your data.
The solution to this issue is to build an authoritative address repository that can meet diverse information needs and continuously improve it with data quality processes. To achieve this goal you must establish an address standard, enhance processes to store and capture data, create audit controls, establish the right to this information and ensure that it is accessible to all stakeholders.
It is recommended to incorporate the address collection into your organization's master data management strategy. MDM manages a variety of business data types including address data. By integrating your address verification API into your MDM you can update and cleanse the data in real-time, without the need for manual work.
To begin collecting and storing address data To begin, you must create an ArcGIS work assignment and add anyone responsible for verifying addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with the Mobile Worker role. Then, they can be out in the field and use the app to gather new addresses and verify information from crowdsourced sources. When they're completed, they can upload addresses back to the office assigned to them in the office to have them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked incorporated.
