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

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

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
