Esri Production Mapping – An Introduction

Lana Tylka Amber Bethell

July 25, 2012

Workshop Overview

• Part I - Industry challenges - What is Esri Production Mapping - Managing workflows with ArcGIS Workflow Manager

• Part II - Enhanced editing tools

• Part III - Quality Control with ArcGIS Data Reviewer

• Part IV - Advanced cartography tools

• Part V - Additional resources

Industry Challenges

• Good, fast, and cost-effective - Improve the speed and accuracy of your data / maps - Streamline workflows for efficiency

• Authoritative data - Produce data you can trust - Share and exchange – regardless of its source

• Commercial-off-the-shelf solution - Eliminate the need to develop and custom code or

scripts

Esri Production Mapping

• Evolved from production needs • Meet the standards set by organizations and industries

- High quality databases and cartographic products

• Platform for managing a production workflow - Data management and editing tools - Quality control processes - Simplified cartographic tools - Industry specific database models

Manage workflows at multiple levels

• Define your workflows • Macro – link to multiple systems at a high level • Micro – tasks inside of ArcMap

Workflow Manager

Task Assistant

Workflow Manager

• Develop and enforce standard workflows

- Ensure consistency across an organization

• Create and assign units of work (jobs) - Assign resources - Automate tasks - Notify users of pending work

• Track and manage status of work

Task Assistant Manager

• Create and Standardize workflows in ArcMap

• Promotes sharing of knowledge - Experienced users create

workflows - Less experienced users execute - Communicate best practices

• Provides consistency and efficiency

- Execute and launch tools within ArcMap

Database schemas available

• Databases provided with the solutions and resource center

- Built to specification and ready to use

• Esri publishes data models for specific industries • Use your own

- Esri Production Mapping is configurable

Data loading

• Batch loading data into a geodatabase - Multiple sources to multiple targets

• Especially useful for data collected to a standard • Loads ArcGIS native data formats

- Shapefiles, coverage, geodatabase

• Requires cross-reference database - Maps source to target feature class - Instructions for updating data on load

• Load Data Geoprocessing Tool

Editing using Production Mapping

• Composite templates - Create multiple features with

one sketch

QA/QC

When to perform quality control

• Before data loading - QC the data in the source prior to loading

• Receiving data from contractor/co-producer - QC the data upon arrival and notify sender of errors

• Extracting or editing data - QC edits for accuracy

• Hard copy map review

Final Review Loading Data

Data Reviewer Data quality control using ArcGIS Data Reviewer

• Supports data QC - On-the-fly - Post editing

• Provides - Rule based workflows - Interactive tools - Track errors

• For individuals and enterprise - Saves time/money - Less rework

Review

Correct

Configure Feature Validation

• ArcGIS Data Reviewer - Batch Jobs

- Translate data business rules into data checks - Multiple checks stored in a single file - Associated with the product library

Business Rules Attribute rules 1. Name cannot be NULL 2. Road width must be greater than 15

Spatial Rules 1. Water Mains should not have sharp

angles 2. Hydrant must be connected to hydrant

lateral

ArcGIS Data Reviewer

• Automated quality control - Geometry checks - Attribute checks

• Visual quality control • Errors centrally managed

and tracked - Reviewer workspace - Reviewer table

Automated checks

• 42 automated checks • Configure to ensure specification • Batch Jobs

- Automated running of multiple checks - Quality control model

- Available for supported data models - Established to ensure data standards

- Easily distributed

Visual QC

• Select, browse, and flag tools • Reviewer Overview Window

- Systematically review a given area

• Sampling check - Random sample - Statistical sample

Geoprocessing Tools

• Create Session • Execute Batch Job • Write to Reviewer Table • Data Reviewer for Server

QA/QC

Product Library

• Multiple maps and multiple users • Check out/Check in map

documents • Exclusive locking

- Green check – current user editing - Red lock – another user editing

- Prohibits two people from editing map at the same time

• Version history maintained - Access prior versions - Who edited, when, comments

A

Cartographic reference grids

• Existing grid template files • Apply grid to different AOIs

- Consistent and repeatable

• Converging UTM zones - Zippers

• Grid template files can be modified with PM

- Generated using Desktop GP tool

Symbolize data

• Visual specifications - Created for specific map products

- Standardize and reuse - Batch symbolize data - Uses predefined representation rules

- Symbology stored with data
