Key Features

Workflow Management

You can define, organize, and standardize the individual tasks within a workflow; allocate staffing resources; automate tasks; and track the status and progress of jobs from beginning to end using Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX).

You can easily identify

• Who is working on what
• What the status is
• Individual, group, and project progress
• Resource use and allocation
• Data changes
• Project updates

Job Tracking

Any action performed on the job, such as executing an edit feature step, is captured and logged in the administration database. This gives you a complete chronological registry of job-related information such as

• All interactions with a job
• Changes to the state of the job
• Execution of a step or task
• Time-stamped comments

Version Management

JTX includes a comprehensive set of version management tools to facilitate simultaneous project workflows from a centralized geodatabase. It ensures the execution of

• Long and complex geodatabase transactions safely
• Uninterrupted workflows
• Version assignments for the life of the job
• Data referencing
• Individual feature edit tracking
• Versioning maintenance

Multiple Data Warehouse Support

Using the multiple data workspace functionality, you can

• Manage data distributed across multiple ArcSDE geodatabases with one JTX repository.
• Use data from varying departments or data stores within your organization to complete tasks within your JTX system.
• Configure each geodatabase connection as a data workspace in the JTX system.

History Tracking and Change Detection

JTX delivers rich support for the capture and storage of feature-level transactions, which are ascertained when the job version is reconciled and changes are posted back to the master database. These records give you

• Details stored in an Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC)-based XML format that leverages industry-standard models for features
• Query access by job number, date, date range, or Global Feature Identifier to support QA process requirements
• E-mail notifications when changes are made in the geodatabase

Spatial Notifications

You can use the automatic e-mail notification tools to

• Alert key people within your organization when changes are made to features within your database.
• Configure rules for how the e-mails will be triggered such as by changes to certain features, certain updates to a specific feature, or changes within a specified area.

Reporting

A reporting engine gives you the ability to define and produce summary reports for your projects that are managed with JTX. The report output is stylized using XML style sheets (XSLT).
