      Skills check-in

      Now that you have explored these concepts, it is time to check in! This is not an exhaustive list of topics that are covered on the exam, but it references the types of tasks a qualified candidate should be able to perform. If there is anything you cannot confidently do, review those concepts until you can.

      I can:

       Create a geometric network, geodatabase topology, geodatabase terrain, and transportation networks.

       Determine the role of the feature classes’ participation in the network and determine the role of the feature dataset in the network.

       Update schema changes for the geometric network.

       Determine the components of a network dataset (for example, network weights, connectivity rules, cluster tolerance).

       Determine the appropriate feature classes to participate, rules to apply, and feature dataset properties.

       Determine the role of the feature datasets for complex datasets (for example, terrains, topology).

Given a task, determine the data, settings, and parameters for creating an address locator

      ArcGIS gives you the ability to model the real world using tabular data. The points in your tables can be converted into points on a map through geocoding. Geocoding allows you to take your addresses and custom place names and display them as features on a map. A central component of the geocoding workflow is the address locator. This section explores the geocoding workflow and emphasizes methods for creating and sharing address locators. This skill has two parts: (1) creating an address locator and (2) sharing an address locator.

      Creating an address locator

      ArcGIS supports geocoding and place-name searches in both desktop and web environments. Successful geocoding requires an understanding of the geocoding workflow. The geocoding workflow consists of these steps:

      1 Build or obtain reference data.

      2 Determine address locator style.

      3 Build an address locator.

      4 Locate addresses.

      5 Publish or maintain your address locator.

      The address locator is particularly important to the geocoding workflow because it contains the parameters and matching rules that tell ArcGIS how to match your input data to locations in your reference data.

      Before creating an address locator, you must determine which address locator style to use. The address locator style specifies properties and parsing grammar that determine acceptable input, so it is important to choose a locator style that closely matches the input format of your address and reference data. After you choose an address locator style and prepared reference data, you can build an address locator using geoprocessing tools in the Geocoding Tools toolbox. If you need to match your addresses against multiple locators, you can create a composite locator. A composite locator combines two or more individual address locators; the software chooses from among them to find the best match. After you have created your address locator, you can use it to search for individual records or batch geocode a table of addresses.

      Sharing an address locator

      If you need to share an address locator with other ArcGIS users, you can share it as a locator package or publish it to the web. You can create a locator package (.gcpk) using the Package Locator tool and can share it as a local file or in an ArcGIS portal. If you want to share your locator for use in web maps or web apps, you can publish it as a geocode service. When you publish an address locator as a geocode service, you can apply several helpful capabilities, as described in this table.

      Optional capabilities for geocode services

      Reminder

      ArcGIS Pro 1.4 cannot publish directly to ArcGIS Server. You must be logged in to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 or later with at least one federated server and Publisher or Administrator privileges to publish a locator in ArcGIS Pro 1.4.
