A Intermediate Guide Towards Address Collection

ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government Address Collection

Address collection is an important element of any strategy for managing customer data. The process ensures the addresses on a company's database match proof of address documents, such as tax stubs and pay returns.

A central database of contacts can be used to send out wedding invitations and holiday cards as well as for managing other personal projects. Here are some ideas on how to organize and collect contact information in the most efficient way you can.

ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government

The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution provides an array of capabilities to help maintain an authoritative address repository, continually improve the quality of data on addresses, and share authoritative addresses with external and internal 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 personnel responsible for collecting, storing and using authoritative road centerlines and valid site addresses. It also includes preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used to validate maintaining and improving the integrity of address information.


링크모음  is the process of collecting the postal and site addresses for all buildings, sites, and structures that require an identification number. The capture of this information is a necessary step in the development of a credible street and road network that enables efficient and safe trade and service delivery.

The Address Data Management task allows you to create a new site address feature by following the steps in the Add Site Addresses task. Site addresses are unique to the structure they are used for or a specific location within a parcel. A site address could be the entrance to a driveway that serves one or more houses on a parcel. Site addresses could also serve as a point of contact for a service point such as an emergency response station.

When you create a new website address, you can optionally connect one or more distinct postal addresses to it. Postal addresses are used to identify a structure, 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 based on a status field that allows local governments to classify features as temporary, pending or current.

Imagine you are a supervisor in an authority for addressing, and your team has been assigned to investigate an incorrect address report that was supplied by an outside stakeholder. Open the Address Field Inventory map in the ArcGIS Workforce App and search for the address. Select the missing point of address and tap Edit. Enter the correct details for the address, which includes the name of the street and the municipality. Tap Submit (iOS) or the checkmark (Android).

ArcGIS Pro Project

ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and store your work. They also provide access to a range of tools and functions. A project can be the combination of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts which display your data the way you prefer to view it. It can also include hyperlinks to databases, folders and other resources for importing and exporting data.

Every item in a project is accompanied by metadata that describes the item. The metadata of a project will help you locate items, assess and determine which ones are suitable for your particular task. It can be used to record the content of a project. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or an entire scene. By clicking the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window, enables you to edit the metadata for each item in a Project.

ArcGIS Pro is reusable. The items within the project (such as scenes and maps) can be incorporated into other projects. Additionally, components of the project (such as toolboxes and geodatabases) can be moved or changed from one location to another. Additionally, many of the items can be accessed via connections without being stored in the project file itself.

When you start ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab appears on the start page with options to open a recent project or create a brand new project from templates. You can create a new project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has an 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 appropriate folder, you can choose the Create a Folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.

It's a good idea to keep your data, ArcGIS Pro installation, and project files all on the same computer to cut down on communication time. In some instances, however, you can't find these components on the same computer or you might prefer to share your data, project files, and other resources across a network.

Data Assistant Add-in

The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of tools that are focused and arranged on a Data Assistant toolbar. These tools enable you to create the source and target configuration files as well as load and replace data.

When used 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 on a regular basis. These tools let you modify the solution to fit your particular 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 layers of the 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. Close all open ArcGIS applications before you start an entirely 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 once the Data Assistant Addin has been activated. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and settings for a source-target configuration. Once set the Replace Data tool will replace data in the dataset target from the source layer based on the settings selected. This tool also provides the possibility of storing results in a local database and skip final processing 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 consequences, whether for routing mail or location services on a site or for marketing to clients and potential customers. It is essential that companies implement an address management system.

An address management system is a procedure to maintain a uniform and verified list of addresses. It allows you to keep your address database up to date and ensures that it complies with the national guidelines, for instance those provided by the national postal authority of your country. It also lets you verify and correct inaccurate address information submitted by external or internal stakeholders.

For example for instance, the USPS maintains a database of verified addresses, and also provides an official certification known as CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). CASS-certified solutions such as PostGrid can connect directly to the official USPS database and instantly verify an address. This will save time and improve data accuracy.

The solution to this problem is to build an authoritative address repository that can meet various information needs and to continuously improve it with data quality processes. To achieve this it is necessary to establish an address standard, optimize processes to capture and store data, create audit controls, establish the right to this information and make sure that it is accessible to all stakeholders.

A good idea is to integrate the process of collecting addresses in your company's overall master data management strategy. MDM is a tool that deals with various types of crucial business data, including address information. Integrating your address verification API into your MDM allows you to clean and update data in real time without any manual effort.

To begin collecting and storing address data, you need to create an ArcGIS work assignment and add the person responsible for checking addresses in the field to the Address Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project with the Mobile Worker role. They can then go out in the field and use the application to gather new addresses and verify the information collected from crowdsourced sources. After they're done, they can send addresses to the assignment in the office to have them incorporated into the authoritative site address layer and marked incorporated.
