What’s new in 2.3

Address Manager is a comprehensive solution for NG9-1-1 data management to help communities maintain NG9-1-1-compliant GIS data, including civic addresses, roads, and boundaries (Fire, Police, EMS, PSAP, Provisioning, A1 to A5 and other layers).

• Manages the lifecycle of features from Tentative (Proposed or Approved) to Active then Retired status (Expire).
• Integrates with internal organizational ArcGIS data management systems.
• Address Manager includes the following capabilities:
  • NG9-1-1 data quality rules that maintain accurate, complete data
  • Discrepancy review workflows with NG9-1-1 aggregators
  • Compliance with NENA standards, including bilingual requirements
• Editing tools include
  • Address editor
  • Road centre line editor
  • Boundary editor
  • Discrepancy report review
  • Branch versioning and conflict resolution

Updated data model

This release includes the following updates to the Address Manager data model:

• Field names
• Feature names
• Data lengths
• NULLS Allowed constraints

These changes align with NENA v2a GIS Data Model.

Upgrading to the new data model is not mandatory when deploying Address Manager 2.3, as it still supports the previous data model. We suggest upgrading to the 2.3 data model at your earliest convenience.

The benefits of the new model are:

• Feature and field names are equivalent to NENA v2a GIS data model.
• Simplified field mapping when creating ETL scripts to a NENA v2a FGDB.
• Simplified sharing of NENA specific fields with Hosted Feature View Layers.

Discrepancy report review

Discrepancy Review tools locate, validate and track discrepancy reports received from the Public Safety – GeoXchange®.

Spatial rule configuration for address points

Restrict the placement of address points to fall within a specific service boundary, municipal boundary, or within any administrative boundary.

Zero address number

Support for zero address number.

• Use Configurator to set the Format type of an address number field for SiteStructureAddressPoint to Address Number Range when you want to allow a Zero (0) address number.
• The Update Centreline Address Ranges tool is enhanced to recognize zero (0) as an even number for the left/right range parity according to NENA recommendations.

Grid

When editing features, you can display a customizable grid to help guide feature drawing and placement.

Map navigation

• Each zoom and pan are tracked by the application.
• The Previous Extent and Next Extent map tools reposition the map view to either a previous (back arrow) or next (forward arrow) map extent.

Copy and paste boundary

• Copy the geometry of an existing boundary and use it to create a new boundary.
• The source and target boundary can be of a different boundary type. For example, copy an existing Fire boundary geometry and use it to create a new EMS boundary.

Transparency tool

The transparency tool adjusts the transparency of a layer.

Address 3D buildings

Address Manager supports 3D building models when addressing units in a multi-story building.

• Publish one or more of these building types to the Address Manager web scene, then use Configurator to include the web scene in the app.
  • Refer to ArcGIS documentation for details on how to create and publish 3D buildings and indoors building models.
• Address Manager supports the following addressing units:
  • Esri Canada multi-patch data model (Contact Esri Canada for guidance)
  • BIM data model
  • Indoors data model

Access to custom geocoder

Custom locators can be added to the application's search tool with Configurator.

Add local image files

• Add a land developer survey drawing or development plan to use as a reference for placing address points and temporary roads.
• Add local image files tool is an easy way to add images to the Address Manager map view.

Branch versioning

• Branch versioning works with the ArcGIS Enterprise Web GIS model using a services-based architecture to allow multiuser editing workflows and long transaction scenarios through web feature layers.
• Web feature layers (also known as feature services) are shared to support displaying, querying, and editing data on the web.
• Address Manager includes the following versioning tools:
  • Create branch
  • Delete branch
  • Switch to branch
  • Reconcile branch
  • Post branch
  • Conflict Resolution

Issues resolved in 2.3

Editing road centre lines with true curves

Address Manager 2.3 will now display an error message when the user attempts to edit road centre line geometry that contains a true curve. This message appears when the following item settings are checked for ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.

Address Manager is built on ArcGIS Maps SDK, which is currently not a “true curve client”. To prevent users from editing a road centre line geometry with a true curve ensure these settings are checked. You may however create and edit road centre line geometry without curves (straight line segments only) when these settings are checked. You can also edit road centre line attributes when these settings are checked.

In the future the ArcGIS Maps SDK will be enhanced to support the creation and editing of curves. Once this is available, Address Manager will be updated with true curve capabilities.

If Allow update of true curves is checked and Only allow true curve updates by true curve clients is unchecked, Address Manager will allow editing of road centre line geometry that include curves, but the true curve is densified when written back to the feature service.

Currently you can use ArcGIS Pro to create road centre lines with true curves, then use Address Manager to update the attributes.

Feature and data attribute tables not honouring Map Viewer configuration

Configuring the column order and visibility for a feature table and data attribute table widgets was not honoured by Address Manager. Release 2.3 fixes this issue. When you configure the feature table for a specific layer with ArcGIS Map Viewer (save the web map), those configurations will be honoured by the equivalent feature table in Address Manager.

19231 Detecting duplicate addresses

A bug was fixed which did not include the municipality field when detecting duplicate addresses. For example, 100 Main Street Markam and 100 Main Street Richmond Hill, returned duplicate address because the municipality (Markham and Richmond Hill) was not part of the duplicate address check.

To include the Municipality field when detecting duplicate addresses you must update your configuration. With Configurator, you can update the Rule Configuration for both the Address Editor and the Unit Editor.

Click Configure fields then select the municipality field. Set the Unique option to include municipality in the unique rule. The unique option will change to: (full_add + municipality).

19361 - Search tool does not fill the "Display field" results correctly

The Display field is the field that is displayed in the search tool results drop down. The name of the Display field is set when you configure search options with Configurator.

The search tool below will now display the results of a search based on the field name set by Display field.

Start Configurator and click Map Settings.

Click Configure search options button, then select SiteAddressPoint.

The Display field is the name of the field that is displayed in the search results drop down.

Copy and paste boundaries to clip board

Address Manager 2.3.1 (Build 2.3-20250502.1) no longer uses the system clipboard when copying and pasting boundary geometries.

22105 - Update Status tool when road centre line includes true curves

Address Manager 2.3.2 (Build 2.3-20250529.1) fixes an issue with Update Status tool when changing the status of a RoadCenterLine that includes a true arc. The issue prevented the status change. This release fixes the issue and allows the status change when RoadCenterLine includes true arcs.
