ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government

The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution offers a suite of capabilities that aid in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continuously improve the quality of data on addresses, 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 crews as well as address verification teams and other people responsible for collecting, storing and utilizing authoritative road centerlines and valid site addresses. It also includes a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to validate and maintain the integrity of address data.

Address data capture is the process of collecting site and postal address for all structures or structures, sites, and buildings that require an identification number. It is an essential step towards the creation of a reliable street and road network that ensures secure and efficient commerce and service delivery.


The Address Data Management task lets you create a brand new site address feature by following the steps of the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are specific to the structure they are used for or a specific area within the boundaries of a 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 could also be the point of contact for a service delivery location such as the fire station.

When you create a new website address, you can optionally join one or more distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses are used to identify a building or any other structure, and provide contact details for the owner or the person who occupies it. 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 current.

Imagine that you are a supervisor for an address authority and your team has been assigned to investigate an incorrect address report provided by an outside stakeholder. Utilizing the ArcGIS Workforce app, open the Address Field Inventory map and look up the address in the report in question. Select the missing address point and then click Edit. Enter the correct information for the address, including a street name and 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 give you access to a range of tools and features. A project can comprise of maps, scenes layers, layouts, and layers to display your data in the way you prefer. It may also include links to folders, databases and resources for importing and exporting data.

Each item in a Project is accompanied by metadata that describes it. The metadata of a project can help you to find items, assess and determine which ones are suitable for your current project. It can be used to document the contents of a project. An example of metadata would be the name and description of a scene or map. You can modify the metadata for each item within a project by clicking the Properties button on the toolbar or in the Details window.

ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the items in them (such as maps and scenes) can be transferred to other projects. Additionally project components (such as toolboxes and geodatabases) can be moved or changed from one location 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 start page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a newly completed project or create a brand new project by using templates. You can create a project by using the Map template. This opens a map with an topographic basemap.

You can save a project to the local computer or to a folder in your portal that is active. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you want to save your project in a folder you can check the Create folder for this project in the New Project dialog.

It is a good idea to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files on the same computer to reduce the time spent communicating. You might not be able to locate all these components on one computer or you may prefer sharing project files, data, and other files over networks.

Data Assistant Add-in

The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools placed into a Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create source-target configuration files, and load or replace data.

When used in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation solution they allow your organization staff to transform and load data sources into a community layer and then schedule automated updates to the layer on a regular basis. With these tools, you can set up the solution to meet the specific needs of your organization.

To utilize the Data Assistant Add-in, you must install it on every ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to migrate 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 has been downloaded. After installing, close all open ArcGIS applications prior to opening a new ArcGIS Pro session. Once the add-in is installed, you can start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar.

After the Data Assistant Add-in is launched it is possible to create an Data Mapping file by using the Configure Data Mapping dialog box. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and the settings of a source-target configuration. Once configured, this hyperlink will replace data in the target layer from the source layer in accordance with the settings you have selected. This tool also supports the ability to stage results in local databases and skip the final processing by replacing data only on a subset of records.

Data Management

Address data is vital for the majority of companies. It must be accurate and reliable, as well as standardized. This Webpage can have devastating effects, whether it's for routing mail or location services on a site or for marketing to customers and prospects.

A modern solution like PostGrid is CASS-certified that means it is able to connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This will save you time and improve the quality of your data.

This issue can be addressed by building an authoritative address repository that can meet the needs of a variety of information requirements and continually improving it by implementing data quality processes. This requires the creation of an address standard, enhancing processes for capturing and storing address information, establishing audit controls, assigning the responsibility for this set of information, and ensuring that it is available to all parties.

A good approach is to incorporate the process of collecting addresses into your organization's overall master data management strategy. MDM is an application that handles numerous types of vital business data, including address data. Integrating your address verification API with your MDM allows you to clean and update data in real time without manual effort.

To begin collecting and storing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add anyone responsible for verifying addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with a Mobile Worker role. They can then go out in the field to collect new addresses, and verify the data collected by crowdsourcing. After they've completed their task, they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment to have them marked as incorporated and incorporated in the authoritative layer of site addresses.
