Address collection is an essential component of any plan for managing customer data. This process ensures that addresses on the company's database match those on customers' proof of address documents like pay stubs and tax returns.
A central database of contacts can be used to manage personal projects, like sending holiday cards or wedding invitations. Here are some tips for storing and organizing contact information in the easiest way possible.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution delivers a set of capabilities that aid in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continuously improve the quality of data on addresses and share authoritative addresses with both internal and external stakeholders. The solution comes with an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification teams, and others responsible for the maintenance, collection and use of road centerlines that are authoritative, valid site addresses, and the associated postal addresses. It also comes with a set of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to verify, maintain, and improve the accuracy of address data.
Address data capture is a procedure that involves the collection of site and postal addresses for all structures, buildings and sites that require an identification number. This information is crucial for the development of a road and street network that encourages secure and efficient commerce.
The Address Data Management task lets you 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 serving or a specific area within a parcel. A site address could be the entry point to a driveway that serves one or more houses on the parcel. Site addresses can also be used as a point of contact for a service location like the fire station.
You can add one or more distinct postal addresses to a site address. Postal addresses are used to identify a building, or any other structure, and provide contact information for the owner or occupant. The feature type for addresses on the site and classification schema is based upon a status field, which allows local authorities to categorize their features into pending, temporary or current.
Assume that you are a supervisor at an address authority, and your team has been assigned to verify an incorrect address report provided by an external stakeholder. By using 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 tap Edit. Enter the correct address information, including the street name and the municipality. Then tap Submit (iOS) or the check mark (Android).
ArcGIS Pro Project
ArcGIS Pro projects allow you to organize and save your work. They also give you access to a range of tools and functions. A project can be an array of maps, scenes, layers, and layouts that present your data in the way you want to view it. It can also include links to databases, folders and resources for importing and exporting data.
Each item in a Project has a set or metadata that describes it. The metadata of a project will help you find items, assess and determine which ones are best for your current task. It can be used to document the contents of a project. A good example of metadata could be the name and description of a map or scene. 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 objects in them (such as maps and scenes) can be copied to other projects. Additionally components of the project (such as toolboxes and geodatabases) can be moved or renamed from one location to another. Many of the items can be accessed via connections, without the need to store them in the project file.
When you start ArcGIS Pro, the Project tab appears on the start page with the option to open a previous project or create a new project from an existing template. You can create a new project by using the Map template. This opens a map that has a topographic basemap.
You can save a project to a location on your local computer or to a folder within your portal that is active. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects. If you choose to save the project in an appropriate folder, you can check the Create a folder for this local project check box on the New Project dialog box.
If you can, it's a best practice to store your data, ArcGIS Pro installations, and project files on the same computer to reduce round-trip communication time. You might not be able to locate all these components on one machine or you may prefer sharing project files, data, and other files over a network.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools put together into the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools let you create the source and target configuration files, as well as load and replace data.
These tools, when used conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation Solution, permit staff to transform and load sources of data into a layer for a community and schedule automated updates on a regular basis. Using these tools, you can customize the solution to meet the specific requirements of your company.
Install the Data Assistant Addin on each ArcGIS Pro computer that will be used for data migration to one or more layers of community. To download the add in go to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item.
Follow the steps for installation once the add-in has been downloaded. After installation, you must close any open ArcGIS applications prior to opening a new ArcGIS Pro session. After installation you can open the add-in by clicking on the Data Assistant icon 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 is activated. This dialog box lets you to define the field mapping and settings of the source-target configuration. Once the configuration file is set you can use 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 only replace data in a subset of records.
Data Management
Address data is vital for all companies. It must be accurate, reliable and standardized. Whether it is for routing mail, offering services for location on a website or promoting to potential customers and clients poor data can be disastrous. It is essential that companies implement an address management system.
An address management system is a process to maintain a uniform and verified set of addresses. It helps you easily keep your address database up-to date and ensures that it adheres to national guidelines, such as those provided by the country's national postal authority. It also allows you to validate and correct erroneous addresses provided by internal or external stakeholders.
For instance for instance, the USPS maintains a database of verified addresses, and also provides a certification called CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System). A more sophisticated solution such as PostGrid is CASS-certified that means it can connect to the official USPS database to instantly verify an address. This will save you time and increase the quality 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 continually improving its data quality through processes. To achieve this goal, you will need to establish an address standard, optimize processes for capturing and storing information, develop audit controls, establish the right to this information and ensure that it is accessible to all parties.
A good approach is to integrate the address collection process into your overall master data management strategy. MDM deals with a variety of critical business data types such as address data. By integrating your address verification API with your MDM you can update and cleanse the data in real time, without the need for manual intervention.
To begin collecting and storing address data To begin, you must create an ArcGIS work assignment and add any person who is responsible for verifying 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. When they're done, they can send addresses back to the assignment in the office to have them added to the authoritative site address layer and marked as incorporated.
