Create Mass Assignment by Feature Type?

AndrewNeil1 — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 18:09:15 GMT

Is there an easy workflow for creating multiple assignments based on an attribute of a feature?

I have a large tree database with species information. Let's say I want to create an assignment at every Ash tree for pesticide application. Seems like this should be a basic function - but I only have the ability to select features on the map with the select tool or by address. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

For batch assignment creation, I'd recommend using the Workforce module in the ArcGIS API for Python.

We have provided several example scripts and notebooks that show the basics of doing this workflow. I will actually be demoing this at the Dev Summit this week. Here's the notebook I'll be showing.

Thanks Aaron, I'll check this out.

It would be great to get this functionality built into the workforce project. I would like to have my "Dispatchers" who are not skilled in python (or in GIS for that matter) be able to create these types of assignments on their own.
