Hi!

We at our organization have created in-house app to do quality checking for data collected by an Android app and then, by that same in-house built software used it to copy "accepted/corrected" data to our production SDE database. This has become very old and needs to be replaced with something better.

Now, we are looking for way to use Esri built software for this same purpose. We would propably like to use Field Maps to our data collection, and AG Pro as well, and then verify this data with the Data Reviewer (?) and use some kind of tooling to perhaps copy data to production database after it has been reviewed OR use production database as the database that we collect data to, and implement QC-processes to make sure the data is correct. Is this feasible workflow to be implemented with Data Reviewer (+ something else from Esri).

So in theory, is it possible to have a other user that approves the new collected data, before it is copied to the production database AND can we code our custom rules for our collected data. Or should we use only the production database, and are all the data synced from i.e. Esri Field Maps always to production database?

Can this kind of workflow be achieved at the moment, or what would be the best practices? Or maybe there is something I do not understand.

Your help is much appreciated!

Br,

Tomi

Hi @TomiRönkkö,

Would Workflow 2 outlined in this Enterprise help topic address your field data collection workflow? The QC component of the workflow leverages Data Reviewer-based validation attribute rules which evaluate the quality of field-collected features in a named version prior to posting to your production database.

If so, you might want to also consider ArcGIS Workflow Manager if there is a need to tightly control the workflow and assignment of tasks. The latest release includes a new step (Evaluate Data Quality) which automates the evaluation of attribute and topology rules.

Thanks

Thank you Jay, this info helped us a lot!

It looks like we are able to use Esri tooling for our workflow and QA/QC needs!
