These boundaries are used to determine permits and applications for that year. I am wondering how to make an authoritative dataset for this type of data, that changes on an annual basis, but previous versions of the data are still relevant. I would like to maintain the most current boundary on Enterprise, and have that published and available publicly, but am not sure I want to be maintaining multiple very similar boundaries.</P><P>How do other organizations handle and organize data of this nature? Currently we have file geodatabases in "archival" folders that are read only to hold the previous iterations of the data, with the newest boundary being saved on Enterprise.</P> Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:21:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1199459#M44137 Anonymous User 2022-08-04T16:21:13Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1199465#M44138 <P>I would consider using a <STRONG>Parcel Fabric</STRONG> dataset. It has built-in capabilities for tracking historic changes, and makes it very easy to create an attribute-based filter to only show current features. It's meant more for cadastral boundaries, but there's no reason you couldn't use it for something a bit more general.</P> Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:31:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1199465#M44138 jcarlson 2022-08-04T16:31:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1199603#M44139 <P>If you have access to a maintenance account you could explore the archiving workflows shown in this web course:</P><P><A href="https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/57630435851d31e02a43efb0/archiving-data-in-a-multiuser-geodatabase/" target="_blank">https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/57630435851d31e02a43efb0/archiving-data-in-a-multiuser-geodatabase/</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 04 Aug 2022 20:26:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1199603#M44139 ClaudioRuschel 2022-08-04T20:26:35Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1249003#M44362 <P>Some other resources you may want to check out include...</P><P>ArcGIS Pro archiving help doc -&nbsp;<A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/what-is-archiving-.htm" target="_blank">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/what-is-archiving-.htm</A>&nbsp;and a blog series on archiving&nbsp;<A href="https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/maintain-data-accountability-with-archiving-part-2/" target="_blank">https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/maintain-data-accountability-with-archiving-part-2/</A></P> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 11:49:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-store-historic-or-archived-data/m-p/1249003#M44362 DonaldRees 2023-01-18T11:49:46Z
