ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection

Address collection is an essential element of any management plan for customer data. The process makes sure that the addresses in the database of a company match the proof of address records, such as pay stubs or tax returns.


A central database for contacts can be used to manage personal projects like sending holiday cards or wedding invitations. Here are some ideas 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 solution offers an array of capabilities to aid in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continuously improve the quality of data on addresses, and share authoritative addresses with external and internal stakeholders. The solution includes an application for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping crews and address verification teams and other personnel responsible for collecting, maintaining, and using authoritative road centerlines as well as valid address data for sites. It also includes a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used for validating, maintaining, and improving the accuracy of address information.

Address data capture is a process that involves the collection of postal and site addresses for all buildings, structures and sites that require a unique identification number. This information is crucial for the creation of a road and street network that facilitates secure and efficient commerce.

By following the steps of the Add Site Addresses Task You can create a new feature within the Address Data Management task. Site addresses are unique for the specific structure or location they serve within the parcel. For instance, a site address may be an entry point for a driveway serving one or more houses on one parcel. The address of the site could also serve as a contact point for a service location, such an emergency response station.

You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to an address. Postal addresses serve to identify a building or any other structure, and provide contact information for the owner or the person who occupies it. The type of feature for site addresses and classification schema is based upon a status field that lets local governments categorize features into temporary, pending or current.

Assume you are a supervisor of an address authority and your team is assigned to verify an incorrect address report provided by an external stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select  링크모음  missing address point and then click Edit. Enter the correct details for the address, including a street name and a municipality. Tap Submit (iOS), or the checkmark (Android).

ArcGIS Pro Project

ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and save your work. They also offer access to a range of tools and functions. A project could be a combination of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts to display your data the way you want it. It may also include connections to databases, folders and other resources to import or export data.

Each item in a Project includes a set of metadata that describes it. A project's metadata can help you find items, evaluate them, and determine which ones are best to use for the task at hand. It can also be used to document the project's contents. One example of metadata would be the description and name of a map or scene. By clicking the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window, allows you to modify the metadata of each item in the Project.

ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the objects in 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 place to another. Additionally, many items can be accessed via connections without having to be stored within the project file.

The Project tab is located on the main page of ArcGIS Pro. You can select to open a recently completed project or create a completely new project by using templates. You can create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map with the topographic basemap.

You can save your project to a location on your local computer or to a folder in your portal that is active. The default location for your project is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you want to save the project to a folder, you can 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 computer to speed up round-trip communication. In some instances however, it's impossible to find these components on the same computer, or you might prefer to share your data, project files and other resources on networks.

Data Assistant Add-in

The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools placed in the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools allow you to create the source and target configuration files, as well as load and replace data.

When utilized in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation solution, these tools allow employees of the organization to transform and load data sources into a community layer, and schedule automated updates of that layer regularly. These tools allow you to modify the solution to fit 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.

After the add-in has been downloaded Follow the installation instructions to install it. It is essential to close all open ArcGIS apps before you can start a new ArcGIS Pro. Once you have installed the add-in you can start the add-in by clicking the Data Assistant icon in the ArcGIS Pro toolbar.

Once the Data Assistant Add-in has been launched and you are able to create the Data Mapping file by using the Configure Data Mapping dialog box. This will enable you to define field mappings and settings for a chosen source-target configuration file. Once you have it set, you can run the Replace Data tool to replace the data in the target layer from the source layer according to the settings you have selected. 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 the majority of businesses. It should be precise and reliable, as well as standardized. Whether it is for routing mail, offering location services on a website, or marketing to potential customers and clients, bad data can be devastating. Therefore, it is crucial that businesses implement an address management system.

An address management system is a method to maintain a standard and verified set of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up-to date and ensures that it is in line with the national guidelines, for instance the ones provided by your country's postal authority. It lets you validate or correct any incorrect information about addresses submitted by external or internal stakeholders.

For example, the USPS maintains a list of verified addresses and offers the certification CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). An advanced solution like PostGrid is certified by CASS that means it can connect to the official USPS database to verify an address instantly. This will help you save time and improve data quality.

The solution to this problem is to establish an authoritative address repository that meets diverse information needs and continuously improve it by implementing data quality processes. To accomplish this it is necessary to develop an address standard, optimize processes to capture and store data, establish audit controls, and assign the responsibility for this information, and make sure that it is accessible to all stakeholders.

A good approach is to incorporate the address collection process into your organization's overall master data management strategy. MDM is an instrument that manages various types of crucial business information, including address data. Integrating your address verification API with your MDM allows you to update and cleanse data in real-time, without any manual effort.

You can begin collecting and managing addresses by creating an ArcGIS Work Assignment and adding anyone responsible for verifying address information in the field with a Mobile Worker Role to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce Project. They can then go into the field to gather new addresses, and verify crowdsourced data. When they're completed, they can upload addresses to the office assigned to them at the office to have them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked incorporated.
