Entering data without ArcGIS

PersefoniKapotas — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 07:37:53 GMT

Currently our office uses an outdated database program to keep track of our projects and project information. Simultaneously, I have started entering our project information into a geodatabase using ArcGIS Pro. If we transferred over to using ArcGIS to manage our projects, our administrative assistant would have to be able to update the database every time we get a new job. Ideally, we'd like for them to be able to update the database without having to use ArcGIS. Is that possible? How? If not, what would be the easiest way to accomplish continually updating our database without using someone knowledgeable with ArcGIS software?

There's really gobs of options here. I worked one project where Survey 123 was used to populate attributes for imagery, and database triggers and batch geoprocessing scripts handled it from there. You can also have a true "not ArcGIS" solution with a tiny web form that populates a database and geoprocessing steps take it from there. If Excel is your thing, completing metadata in a spreadsheet and dropping that in a folder or S3 bucket to generate further processing is an option.
