Mapping and charting solutionsStreamlining high volume data and map production

…Centrally managed for production teams

Mapping and charting users:

• Produce high volume, high quality databases and maps

• Require standardized enterprise production

–Map specifications

–Data validation

–Optimized and controlled workflows

–Repeatability

• Must improve / maintain the quality of their GIS data

• Under pressure to reduce production cost and schedule

Database driven enterprise cartography

• Database driven cartography

– “Extend” GIS with cartographic features and information

– Link feature attributes (data dictionary) to symbols

– Store cartographic rules and templates inside GDB

• Enterprise cartography

– Multiple users and maps - not just SDE Database

– Map production requiring extensive planning and work

• Scalable production methods

– Similar to the GDB

– ArcMap

– MPS-Atlas (PLTS)

– Product Library (PLTS)

ComponentsEfficiently producing standards-based products

• ArcGIS Data Reviewer configuration

• Validation rules

• Batch checks

• JTX configuration

• Task Assistant Mgr

• Cartography

• Editing framework

• Editing tools

• Data loaders

• Rules in geodatabase

• Map specifications

• Product Library

• Document mgmt

What is Workflow Manager

• GIS workflow management tool

• Used by:

– GIS Analysts

– Managers

– Executives

– Etc.

• Manage individual units of work

– Create… Assign… Execute… Track…

Straight Line Diagram

• The primary use case for the SLD is to support maintenance in

the field

– Replace editing of mile log pages by hand

– Allows maintenance in the database directly

Product LibraryCentralized management of production rules, maps, and documents

• Improved management– Dockable window

• Customize > Product Library

– Set empty PL and Instance workspaces

– Export (Distribute) PL

– Batch Manage Products

– Batch File Checkout/Check in

– Improved status icons

– Improved file linking

– Workflow Manager (JTX) integration (post Beta 1)

• Extending “product” functionally– 9.3.1 product = MXD + Data

– 10 product = MXD + Data + Template Instructions

– Template Instructions are behavior

• Data frame rules

• Layout rules

• Python script

ViewsLayer and map settings distribution and deployment

• Save/retrieve MXD, Data Frame and Layer setting to a database location

• Stored and managed in a geodatabase

• Allow maps settings within a single document to be updated quickly
