ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection
Address collection is an important component of any plan for customer data management. The process ensures the addresses on a company's database match proof of address documents such as tax stubs, pay stubs, or returns.
A central contact database can also be used to manage personal projects like sending out holiday cards and wedding invitations. Here are some suggestions for collecting and organizing contact information in the easiest way possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set capabilities that help keep a database of authoritative addresses and improve the quality of address data, and share authoritative address 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 personnel responsible for collecting, storing, and using authoritative road centerlines and valid address data for sites. It also includes a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used to validate maintaining, enhancing, and confirming the accuracy of address information.
Address data capture is a method that involves the collection of site and postal addresses for all buildings, structures, and sites that require an identification number. It is a necessary step towards the creation of a credible road and street network that supports safe and efficient trade and service delivery.
The Address Data Management task allows you to create a brand new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the location or structure they serve 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 could also be a point of contact for a location to deliver services such as an emergency response station.
When adding a new site address, you are able to associate one or more, distinct postal addresses with it. Postal addresses are linked to the structure of a building or other and provide contact details for its owner or its occupant. The site address feature classification and type schema is based on a status field that permits local governments to classify features as pending, temporary, or current.
Assume that you are a supervisor for an address authority, and your team is assigned to investigate an incorrect address report received from an external stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select the missing address and then click Edit. Enter the correct information for the address, which includes the name of the street and the municipality. Tap Submit (iOS), or the checkmark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
An ArcGIS Pro project provides a place for you to organize your work, store files, and access many tools and features. A project can be a combination of scenes, maps, layers, and layouts that present your data in the way you want to view it. It could include links to databases, folders as well as resources for importing or exporting data.
Each item in a Project is accompanied by metadata that describes the item. Metadata for a project can help you find items, evaluate them, and determine which ones are best to use for your current task. It can also be used to record the project's contents. An example of metadata would be the name and description of a scene or map. 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 project's components (such as maps and scenes) can be incorporated into other projects. Project components (such a geodatabases or toolboxes) can also be moved from one place to another. Many of the items can be accessed through connections without the need to store them in the project file.
When you launch ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab will be displayed on the start page with options to open a new project or create a brand new project from a template. For instance, you can create a new project by using the Map template which opens with a map that shows an elevation basemap.
You can save your project to either an individual folder on your local computer, or to the active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you want to save your project in an appropriate folder, you can look up the Create folder for this project on the New Project dialog.
If possible, it's a best practice to store your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same machine to speed up round-trip communication. In some cases however, you may not be able to locate these components on the same computer or you may prefer to share your data, project files, and other resources across a network.

The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools that are placed into the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create source and target configuration files, as well as load and replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, allow staff to transform and load sources of data into a layer for a community and schedule automated updates on a regular base. These tools let you customize the solution for your particular organization.
To use the Data Assistant Add-in, you must install it on each ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to transfer data to one or more layers of the community. To download the add in go to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item.
Once the add-in is downloaded Follow the installation instructions to install it. You must close all open ArcGIS applications before you start an entirely 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.
You can create a Data Mapping File by using the Configure Data Mapping Dialog Box after the Data Assistant Addin has been started. This allows you to define field mappings and settings for a selected source-target configuration file. Once the configuration file is set, 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 lets you stage results locally and skip the final processing if you just replace data in a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is critical for all businesses and requires to be accurate, reliable, and standardized. Unreliable data can cause disastrous consequences, whether for routing mail or the ability to locate a site or for marketing to customers and potential customers. This is why it's essential that every business implements an effective system for managing addresses.
A system for managing addresses is a method to maintain a standard and verified list of addresses. It assists you in keeping your address database up to current and ensures that it adheres to national guidelines, like those provided by the national postal authority of your country. It lets you verify or correct inaccurate address information submitted by external or internal stakeholders.
For instance for instance, the USPS maintains a database of verified addresses and provides a certification called CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). An advanced solution like PostGrid is CASS-certified, which means that it can connect to the official USPS database to verify an address instantly. This can speed up the process and increase accuracy of data.
This issue can be addressed by building an authoritative address repository that can meet the needs of a variety of information requirements and continuously improving it through data quality processes. To achieve this it is necessary to develop an address standard, improve processes for capturing and storing information, develop audit controls, assign the responsibility for this information, and ensure that it is available to all stakeholders.
It is a good idea to integrate the address collection into your organization's master data management strategy. MDM manages a variety of different critical business data types, including address data. By connecting your address verification API with your MDM you can cleanse and update the data in real-time, without manual effort.
To begin collecting and managing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add the person 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 application to collect new addresses as well as verify crowdsourced information. Once they've completed their task, they can upload their addresses to the office work assignment in order to have them marked as incorporated and added to the authoritative site address layer.
