ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government provides a set capabilities that help maintain a repository of authoritative addresses, enhance the quality of the data on addresses and share authoritative addresses with external and internal stakeholders. The solution comes with a project for ArcGIS Pro that is designed to be used by mapping teams and address verification teams and other people who are responsible for collecting, maintaining and using authoritative road centerlines as well as valid address data for sites. It also includes a preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer check that can be used to verify maintaining, enhancing, and confirming the integrity of address information.
Address data capture is a method that involves the collection of site and postal addresses for all structures, buildings, and sites that require an identification number. It is a crucial step in the development of an authoritative road and street network that supports secure and efficient trade and service delivery.

It can be used to record the contents of a project. Metadata can be used to describe a map, or the scene. By clicking the Properties button on the toolbar, or in the Details window, enables you to edit the metadata of every item in a Project.
ArcGIS Pro projects are reusable--the elements within them (such as maps and scenes) can be copied to other projects. Project components (such toolboxes or geodatabases), can also be moved from one location to another. In addition, many items can be accessed via connections without having to be stored in the project file.
The Project tab appears on the main page of ArcGIS Pro. You can choose to open a recently completed project or create a completely new project using templates. For instance, you could create a new project by using the Map template which opens with a map view showing an elevation basemap.
You can save your project either to an individual folder on your local computer, or to the active portal. The default location for projects is C: Users username> Documents ArcGIS Projects.

Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Addin is a collection of tools placed in the Data Assistant Toolbar. These tools allow you to create the source and target configuration files as well as load or replace data.
When used in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation solution These tools allow the organization staff to transform and load data sources into a community layer and then schedule automated updates of that layer on a regular basis. With these tools, you can customize the solution to meet specific requirements of your business.
To utilize the Data Assistant Add-in you must install it on every ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to migrate data to one or more community layers. To download the add in go to the Content section of ArcGIS and click on the Data Assistant item.
After the add-in has been downloaded Follow the installation instructions to install it. It is essential to close all open ArcGIS apps before you can start an entirely new ArcGIS Pro. Once the add-in is installed, you can start it by clicking on the Data Assistant icon located in the ArcGIS Pro Toolbar.
When the Data Assistant Add-in has been installed, you can create the Data Mapping file by using the Configure Data Mapping dialog box. This lets you define field mapping and settings for a specific source-target configuration file. Once set the Replace Data tool will replace the data in the target layer from the source layer in accordance with the settings you have selected. This tool allows you to stage results locally and avoid final processing if you only replace data on a subset of records.
