Hi Jordan, I understand the patience required to navigate and understand the Census Bureau. Here are some tips and tricks on getting what you need??? Also, getting the data isn???t as hard my steps below may look. I am putting all the supplemental links to supporting documentation because I think it really helps. Here are some tips and tricks on getting what you need??? ??? I am assuming you have your TIGER\LINE shapefiles, if not you can grab them here http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshp2012/tgrshp2012.html Then convert into a Feature Class in the data model. The TIGER\Line has GEOID attribute which you create for the Summary File Data allowing you to join them in ArcGIS. ??? For the Summary File data. Go to http://2010.census.gov/2010census/data/ Look for Download Summary File 1 (or Summary File 2) ??? This will take you to the FTP site (http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/ ) ??? Take a look at the two PDF???s located at root level of the FTP site) http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/0README_SF1_v2.pdf and this HOW TO http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/0HowToUseMSAccessWithSummaryFile1.pdf (I would download the How To, this teaches you how to get the information you need and it the document you will use the most) ??? Select your State (ex: IL) ??? Download the ____.ZIP ( ex: il2010.sf1.zip) ??? Use the How TO document mentioned above. This will walk you though what you need to do to get the data into Access and then into a DBASE. This document will guide you through the process. Steps I took that made it easier, complementary to the HOW TO Most people only want some of the Summary File attributes. To make it easier, go through the How TO, to Step E, once you are at this step you will be able to read the Data_Field_Descriptions database in Access. Look at the descriptions, and decide what files you need load into the access tables and which you do not need to load. This will make your project more manageable. You???ll need to decide on a Census Geography (Blocks, BlockGroups, Tracts, etc) this is filtered by the SUMLEVEL attribute. In the HOW TO you will build queries on the data based on SUMLEVEL, take a look at this document http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/doc/sf1.pdf (Chapter 4: Summary Level Sequence Chart), to decide what level you would like to use. Once I populated my tables, created my GEOID???s, and queried on census geography (by using the HOW TO document), I exported to DBASE tables. Once I exported to the DBASE, I added the exported Summary File table(s) to ArcGIS and joined them to the TIGER\LINE feature class based on GEOID\GEOID10. Depending on how much data you are exporting, DBASE has size limits and you may need to chop up your table using additional queries in access before you export. There are other ways to export and get into ArcGIS this is just the method I used. Hopefully this helps, Cheers, Lindsay Thomas

Hello Ryan, The basemaps you are using in your implementation are only meant to illustrate the application for Naperville, IL. seeing white using another extent area is expected. We recommend adopting the ArcGIS for Local Government Information Model, porting you data to it, then use the provided mxd's to create these basemaps for your area using your data. However, if you would like to quickly assess this application for your organization you can use basemap services from ArcGIS.com until you have time to the provided basemaps up and running. http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer and http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer are what I would recommend. Cheers, Lindsay (Also, when you go to implement the operational layers. The application is expecting you to use the ArcGIS for Local Government Information Model with your data and all the attributes populated correctly. The easiest way to do understand this project is to open the pollingplace.mxd (data source view) and note the required feature classes, tables and relationships. Note the model is designed to support one location for many polls)

Steve, Please add the line below to your proxy.config. <serverUrl url="http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/" matchAll="true"></serverUrl> Javascript can be picky when an extra comma exists or is missing, in the code box below. Notice the code section below, I removed the commented section that each entry in the [ ] is separated by a comma except for the very last entry. That is the correct format. 'Services':[
{"Name":"Libraries","Image":"images/library.png","hasRendererImage":true,"ServiceUrl": "http://maps.tob.int/ArcGIS/rest/services/Amazon_Testing/GovernmentServices/MapServer/4","distance" : 4,"FieldNames" : [{"ContactField":"FacilitySitePoint.NAME"},{"AddressField":"FacilitySitePoint.FULLADDR"},{"PhoneField":"GovServiceInfo.PHONE"}],"LayerVisibility":true},
{"Name":"Post Offices","Image":"images/postOffice.png","hasRendererImage":true,"ServiceUrl": "http://maps.tob.int/ArcGIS/rest/services/Amazon_Testing/GovernmentServices/MapServer/3","distance" : 4,"FieldNames" : [{"ContactField":"FacilitySitePoint.NAME"},{"AddressField":"FacilitySitePoint.FULLADDR"},{"PhoneField":"GovServiceInfo.PHONE"}],"LayerVisibility":true},
{"Name":"Police Stations","Image":"images/policestations.png","hasRendererImage":true,"ServiceUrl": "http://maps.tob.int/ArcGIS/rest/services/Amazon_Testing/GovernmentServices/MapServer/1","distance" : 4,"FieldNames" : [{"ContactField":"FacilitySitePoint.NAME"},{"AddressField":"FacilitySitePoint.FULLADDR"},{"PhoneField":"GovServiceInfo.PHONE"}],"LayerVisibility":true},
{"Name":"Fire Stations","Image":"images/fireStations.png","hasRendererImage":true,"ServiceUrl": "http://maps.tob.int/ArcGIS/rest/services/Amazon_Testing/GovernmentServices/MapServer/2","distance" : 4,"FieldNames" : [{"ContactField":"FacilitySitePoint.NAME"},{"AddressField":"FacilitySitePoint.FULLADDR"},{"PhoneField":"GovServiceInfo.PHONE"}],"LayerVisibility":true},
{"Name":"Hospitals","Image":"images/hospital.png","hasRendererImage":true,"ServiceUrl": "http://maps.tob.int/ArcGIS/rest/services/Amazon_Testing/GovernmentServices/MapServer/0","distance" : 4,"FieldNames" : [{"ContactField":"FacilitySitePoint.NAME"},{"AddressField":"FacilitySitePoint.FULLADDR"},{"PhoneField":"GovServiceInfo.PHONE"}],"LayerVisibility":true}
], Let me know how it goes. -Lindsay

Steve, Please remove the commented out lines. Because you are commenting in the middle of a [ ] this could be effecting it. Once you make this change, clear your browser cache, refresh your browser and hopefully that works. (Also, is your proxy.config set correctly with all the referenced services in your config.txt ?) Cheers, Lindsay

Hi Leitha, The application does require you to have ASP.NET 4 set as the application pool. The application will spin at the beginning if this isn't set. The .NET Framework 4 can be installed side-by-side with previous versions of the .NET Framework on a single computer. If IIS was previously enabled on the computer, the setup process for the .NET Framework automatically registers ASP.NET 4 with IIS. Check out this Microsoft article for more information on setting up the ASP .NET 4 application pool http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx Cheers, Lindsay

Steve, All your data should be in your local coordinate system. But your map document dataframe should be in WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere. This will allow you to cache using the ArcGIS Online/BingMaps/Google tiling scheme. I have attached an xml you can use to load the scales and parameters you see in the GettingStarted.pdf. If you cache your maps, I think that will help with the application spinning Thanks, Lindsay

Steve, Did you change the extent of in the config.txt? //Initial extent of map. To separate values use �??,�?� symbol. 'DefaultExtent':"-9820183.18, 5123332.08, -9807373.74, 5128739.76", If not, grab your local extent using the extent helper widget here http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/extenthelper/flexviewer_extenthelper.html Also, are your basemap services completely cached? Cheers, Lindsay

Hello Steve, At first glance the issue you are having could be this step isn't implemented. Can you verify that you completed Step 4 of the getting started.pdf Step 4 �?? Publish the My Government Services Web Site 1. Publish the My Government Services application. �?� Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the My Government Services application directory: <your_directory>\ArcGISTemplates\LocalGov\MyGovernmentServices\Application �?� Select the �??MyGovernmentServices�?� directory and copy it to your web server so it can be accessed as a website or virtual directory Note: In Microsoft IIS, the web server directory is <your_directory>\Inetpub\wwwroot\. 2. Define the Application Pool on your web server. �?� Open Internet Information Services (IIS) on your computer and navigate to: Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager �?� Select <your server>> Web Sites> Default Web Sites �?� Right-click on the MyGovernmentServices directory and select �??Convert to Application�?� �?� Select ASP.Net v. 4 Application Pool. Click OK. 3. Change the ASP.Net proxy page to point to your ArcGIS REST service URL. �?� Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the MyGovernmentServices proxy file: <your_directory>\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyGovernmentServices\proxy.config �?� Open the Config file in Microsoft Notepad. Two lines of code need to be changed Cheers, Lindsay
