Agenda

• Presentation of application functions

• Goals, challenges, next steps

• Hands on – Add a project

• Q&A

Technology Platform Objectives

• Aligned to Clean Water business needs & permit requirements• Easy to learn and use by non‐GIS permittees• Common applications, database design, reports• Agile development process – Iterative, adaptive, incremental• Supportable – Limited customization, leverage new software• Data integrates with local agency GIS

Clean Water Program ArcGIS Online

• Esri ArcGIS Online• Named users• Content

• Geodatabase• Web maps• Web apps• Collector• Reports and PDF maps

• Functions• View, edit, report

Generating Reports from the Reporting Dashboard

Generating Reports – Percent Reduction

Generating Reports– Type and # of Devices and Acres Treated

Generating Maps – Choosing Map Type

Viewing Attribute Data

Filtering Attribute Data

Adding A Filter Expression – Date Range for Inspections

Filter Returns 52 Inspections – Exporting Results to CSV
