1 JTX Overview Overview of Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX)

2 JTX Overview Key Features Workflow Management Analysts immediately productive Steps (tasklist) ensure no step is missed. Streamlined workflow = Time savings Version Management Handles complex geodatabase tasks behind the scenes by creating and managing versions Job Tracking/Documentation Detailed history of job actions is automatically recorded providing a play-by-play of how the job was completed. User provided comments and notes supplement job history

3 JTX Overview Key Features (cont’d) Transaction Management Supports historical tracking of all feature edits (adds, modifies, deletes) made in a job version Tracks geographic and field-level changes Stores (in XML) field and/or geometry changes along with before/after values Occurs when version is posted back to the database

4 JTX Overview Key Features (cont’d) Transaction Management (cont’d) Custom Tools –JTX Transaction Inspector –Load Job Transactions Framework/API provided for storing Feature and Field level metadata with the JTX Transactions Can be warehoused for comprehensive history log Can be used to apply Transactional Updates

5 JTX Overview Transactional Updates

6 JTX Overview What is a Job? A unit of work to be performed by one or more people on a set of data. Examples: Update hydrant at specified coordinates Create transportation map Add new features in Area X per updated aerial photography Your workorder here…

7 JTX Overview Anatomy of a Job Job Properties Unique Identifier, Description, Status, Due Date, Project, Priority Job Types Specific workflow (steps) for each job type Set of Arcmap layers (and symbology) for each job type Users Who is the job assigned to? Individual users User groups / queue Tracking and Documentation History – automatically logged as user works job Notes, Comments – supplements job history with user input

8 JTX Overview Anatomy of a Job (cont’d) Geodatabase Version For jobs that require editing Keeps job edits separate from other users until data is explicitly integrated. One per job, for life of job Area of Interest Assigns a geographic area to the job One per job, for life of job ArcMap Document (mxd) Portable (saved in database with job). Allows users to save their “session”. One per job, for life of job

9 JTX Overview Framework Geodatabase Implementation JTX System tables –Stores configuration values –Repository for job information Integrated with ArcGIS Arcmap Extension –Persists job information (allows for “job aware” MXD) –Automates setup tasks (load layers, configure GUI) Arcmap and ArcCatalog tools JTX Application Standalone exe Main user interface

10 JTX Overview Framework (cont’d) Application Programming Interface (API) Business objects expose the full range of functionality necessary for creating, managing, and working with jobs. Built using Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) technology and extends ESRI's ArcObjects framework. Customize the default JTX Application –Existing JTX Application and tools are written on top of this business tier Integrate JTX into existing applications

11 JTX Overview JTX API

12 JTX Overview Framework (cont’d) Configuration Manager Stand-alone application for managing the JTX system tables Configuration exchange –Copy configuration from one machine to another Job utilities –Deleting job and components –Reassigning jobs

13 JTX Overview JTX Configuration Manager

14 JTX Overview JTX Main Application

15 JTX Overview JTX Main Application (cont’d) Job History

16 JTX Overview JTX Main Application (cont’d) Steps/Workflow

17 JTX Overview JTX Main Application (cont’d) Comments (supplement history)

18 JTX Overview JTX Main Application (cont’d) Notes/Communication

19 JTX Overview Defining an Area of Interest Three Methods

20 JTX Overview Defining an Area of Interest (cont’d) Custom Area

21 JTX Overview Defining an Area of Interest (cont’d) Source Extents

22 JTX Overview Defining an Area of Interest (cont’d) Predefined area/grid

23 JTX Overview AOI as management tool

24 JTX Overview Editing data with JTX Repetitive setup tasks automated

25 JTX Overview JTX Transaction Tools View stored transactions (adds, modifies, deletes) for Job

26 JTX Overview JTX Transaction Tools Get edit details and history of a feature

27 JTX Overview Who can benefit from JTX? Any organization that needs to complete enterprise GIS tasks while tracking staffing, other resources, tasks, time schedules, and more. Anyone who needs to track and store feature history (changes to the database). Anyone with a need for a workflow management system that integrates with their GIS and other business applications.
