We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Connector for ArcGIS

  • Updated:

The SeeClickFix Connector for ArcGIS offers a one-way integration of your SeeClickFix data into ArcGIS Online. Automatically sync your SeeClickFix request data with ArcGIS to:

  • Eliminate the need to manually export & import via CSV and allow data to be updated automatically.
  • Use familiar ArcGIS analytic tools to measure & report on SeeClickFix service request data.
  • Query SeeClickFix service request data in relation to existing spatial data in ArcGIS, including asset & demographic data.
  • Leverage your organization's existing investment in ESRI products.

 

Most simply, the ArcGIS Connector is an integration that syncs a copy of all SeeClickFix Requests to ArcGIS Online. This is done through a feature service that provides layers that the organization can dynamically pull into its ArcGIS Online system. The data in the feature service will be provided in real-time.

 

The primary use cases for the Connector for ArcGIS include:

  • Utilizing the SeeClickFix data to analyze their data within their ArcGIS Online Dashboard. A SeeClickFix customer organization can view the data on their maps and create reports from it.
  • Creating a public data set available through their Esri Data Portal for transparency. If this is the case, then SeeClickFix will work with the customer organization to set up a feature service that is specifically for public sharing (removes private data).

 

Important Note: The implementation and support for Connector for ArcGIS v1 have been discontinued.  If you are using the Connector for ArcGIS v1 at this time, then nothing will be impacted. However, we do recommend setting up a meeting with the SeeClickFix team to discuss the advantages of moving to v2. The information in this article is regarding the Connector for ArcGIS v2. 

 

Implementation Process

If your organization has already purchased the integration and wants to get started with configuration, contact your Implementation Consultant or submit a request to Support.  

 

You will need to provide your ArcGIS Online Username. The SeeClickFix team will then create a group for your organization on the SeeClickFix ArcGIS Online organization and invite you to that group, which will enable them to see the layer with the request data.

 

If your organization has not yet purchased the integration, contact your Customer Success Manager or submit a request to Support.

  • Is the data allowed to be shared with the public?
    • Yes, the feature service can be set to provide a public layer containing public request attributes, that excludes private requests and requester information. A separate feature service can be set up to include private information. SeeClickFix can provide a layer for public sharing and a layer with private requests for internal use.
  • In what ways will SeeClickFix continue to improve this integration?
    • We are continually working with customers to learn their needs in how they want to use the data within ArcGIS Online and to improve the Connector. For specific needs or use cases, please add a feature request to our Help Center Community area.
  • Will we have the ability to create hosted feature layer views from this feature service?
    • SeeClickFix creates the view for the customer organization, from the original source layer. However, there are additional options we can pursue if this is set up as a data collaboration. The implementation can vary.
  • Will we have the ability to edit the data in this feature service?
    • No, this is a read-only feature service. It is not meant for managing requests in ArcGIS. SeeClickFix offers a different integration with ArcGIS Workforce that includes bi-directional updates.
  • Do the public and private feature services have the same list of available fields?
    • No, we create a public feature service that removes fields that have the potential for personal identifying information and hides any categories marked as private.
