Enhancing Water Data Management with ArcGIS Dashboards

Esri’s ArcGIS Dashboard applications offer powerful tools for monitoring utility data, and every Organization using ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise has access to them. With the array of customizations allowed within Dashboards, it’s difficult to know if designers are leveraging their full potential. One easy enhancement that can make dashboards more effective and interactive is to incorporate data selector widgets. These widgets provide interactive, flexible views of your data within a dashboard. These selectors enable dynamic customization, helping users gain valuable insights and make better-informed management decisions.

A New Branch on the Versioning Tree: An Overview of Branch Versioning

Enterprise geodatabase versioning is an integral part of Enterprise GIS workflows and allows for flexible and manageable workflows for multiuser editing scenarios. Branch versioning is a new type of geodatabase versioning available to Esri users. This new type of versioning has been reconfigured to alleviate some of the pain-points when using traditional versioning and relies on a services-based platform for version use and management. The branch versioning configuration also provides the backbone needed to extend available add-ons/usability of GIS data. Certain solutions like the Utility Network, Trace Network, Parcel Fabric, and Indoors within ArcGIS Enterprise all require data to be branch versioned. Another immensely powerful add-on for branch versioned data is the Validation and Batch Calculation Attribute Rules. Branch versioning may be a great solution when evaluating current and anticipated workflows and can open the door to a new age of capabilities for Enterprise GIS data.

Attribute Rules have greatly simplified some of our processes and we have been looking for ways to replicate those natively in ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Notebooks provide a web-based tool for ArcGIS Online users to closely replicate workflows built around those Attribute Rules you know and love.

Is Your Data Unique? A Refresher on Unique Identifiers

Is Your Data Unique? A Refresher on Unique Identifiers

For proper data management, every item should be uniquely identified. Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) offer a truly unique identification method for each feature or table row. In the ArcGIS world, GUID values are commonly interacted with as Global IDs. The term “Global ID” is the official name for GUID values that are generated and managed by ArcGIS software. Is this Global ID value something we take for granted because it is so easily managed in ArcGIS? Maybe. If that is the case, this short read will lessen that chance and at minimum increase and/or refresh your understanding of how they work.

Simplify Data Migration Using the Data Loading Tools

The Data Loading Tools are a free solution provided by Esri designed to help simplify and streamline the ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) process from a source dataset to a target dataset. The tools are packaged as a python add-in for ArcGIS Pro and help simplify migration by harnessing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Within the spreadsheets migration mapping from the source schema to target schema can be set up for feature classes, fields, and even coded value domains. This toolbox is most used to assist with migrating data into the robust Utility Network schema, but it can be used for all ETL tasks!
