Overview

DataFrame Data Maintenance provides authorized users the ability to manage and edit ArcGIS Pipeline Data Model (APDM) data through the versatility and familiarity of a desktop GIS application. Users can edit pipeline location, pipe components, geographical features and analyses using an ESRI license of ArcEditor in ArcMap. Hours of tedious maintenance overhead activities and complicated, cryptic database intricacies remain hidden allowing users to focus improving the enterprise data asset in a straightforward way. Powerful editing and approval workflows are combined with user roles that determine the tasks different users are authorized to perform. Without DataFrame Data Maintenance, pipeline data maintenance activities, such as the modeling of a pipeline route, can take hours of data maintenance overhead to ensure that related datasets are updated properly. GeoFields simplifies the process through project workflows that capture the essential information needed and thoroughly updates the remaining datasets reliably and consistently. Because DataFrame Data Maintenance maintains a central, common database, all changes to the pipeline data are available to the entire organization immediately and available to all applications. Changes to the pipeline system are stored, tracking historical states. Built in quality management tools ensure users can rely on the data for their analyses and reporting. Leveraging years of GeoFields pipeline data expertise, DataFrame Data Maintenance approaches data maintenance from a pipeline operator’s perspective, not the perspective of the underlying database. Data is maintained with a traditional pipeliner’s view of the world.
