Update feature templates

The Streetlight Management solution uses feature templates to simplify the collection of streetlights, poles, and cabinets. Organizations may want to add additional feature templates to customize their data collection experience.

In this workflow, you will create a feature template for a streetlight fixture type, which simplifies data collection and creation by preconfiguring attributes. Streetlight feature templates are stored in the TrafficControlDevices feature layer and managed in Field Maps Designer.

To update feature templates, complete the following steps:

In a browser, sign in to your ArcGIS organization, and then browse to the Streetlight Editor map.
Click Open in Field Maps Designer.
Click Forms.
Click the Streetlights layer.
Click Templates.
A list of streetlight feature templates appears. You can reorder the template's position in the list, set the template's properties, or remove the template.
By default, the Streetlight Management solution has one template that predefines the streetlight's attributes.
Note:
When accessing the templates, you might see a message that says "We accidentally left some of your fields behind". This message appears when fields have not been given a default value. To continue setting default values on templates, click Add fields.
To create a new feature template, hover over the Streetlights template and click Duplicate.
A new feature template called Copy of Streetlights is created.
To update the feature template, click Copy of Streetlights.
The template's Properties panel appears on the right.
For the Display name and Description properties, type the name of the streetlight fixture type, for example, Cobra Head.
In the Default Values section, populate the streetlights template's default values, such as Bulb Type and Wattage.
Setting default values helps simplify data collection and creation.
Optionally, drag the template to a new location to reorder the list of templates.
Click Save .
The feature templates and their default symbology are stored on the Streetlights layer. The feature templates will now be available to simplify data collection in apps such as Streetlight Editor.
Repeat these steps for each new streetlight template.
Optionally, repeat steps 4-11 to create feature templates for the Poles and Cabinets layers.

Administer field assignments

The Streetlight Management solution can be used to manage work such as data collection, inspections, and maintenance assigned to mobile workers. Assignment types appear in the Streetlight Assignments ArcGIS Workforce mobile app used by mobile workers as well as the Streetlight Assignments ArcGIS Workforce dispatcher view in the Streetlight Management Center app.

The Streetlight Management solution includes several assignment types. In some cases, you may want to modify assignment types to meet your organization’s needs. Mobile workers and dispatchers also need to be given roles in the Streetlight Assignments ArcGIS Workforce project.

To administer field assignments, complete the following steps:

Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and click the Apps button in the header of the site.
From the app launcher, click Workforce to open the app.
Under Projects, hover over the Streetlight Assignments project and click Configure.

In ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, in the left toolbar, click Publish to publish your changes.
Click Publish survey to publish your changes, and then click OK.

Publish a 3D streetlight layer

The 3D Streetlight Notebook can be used by mapping technicians to create and update a scene layer used to visualize streetlights in 3D. Because multiple streetlights can be attached to the same pole, it can be challenging to view all the streetlights at a given location in 2D. 3D helps to visualize and communicate the streetlights on a given pole or along the roadway.

The Streetlight Management solution uses an ArcGIS CityEngine rule package (*.rpk) to visualize the streetlights in 3D. The rule package uses the following fields to generate the 3D symbol. If a field value is blank, the default value will be used.


Field	Description	Default
Fixture Type	Type of streetlight	Other
Bulb Type	Type of bulb	Other
Mounting Height	Height above ground measured to where the fixture is mounted to the pole	24
Mounting Height Units	Unit of measure of mounting height	Feet
Facing Direction	Direction light is pointing from its base	North

Create a streetlight scene layer

The 3D Streetlight Notebook can be used to create and update a scene layer used to visualize streetlights in 3D. The first time the notebook runs, it publishes a new scene layer and updates the Streetlight Viewer (3D) web scene to point to the new scene layer. This scene layer represents a static snapshot of the assets stored in the TrafficControlDevices feature layer. As new streetlights are added, updated, or removed from the TrafficControlDevices feature layer, you will need to re-run the notebook to refresh scene layer.

Subsequent runs of the notebook will publish a temporary scene layer using the latest features in the TrafficControlDevices feature layer, update the source of the original scene layer to point to the new scene layer, and clean up the temporary scene layer.

Note:

To complete this workflow, you must be assigned a role of Administrator or a custom role that includes the privilege to create, edit, and schedule ArcGIS Notebooks.

To create or update the streetlight scene layer, complete the following steps:

Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the 3D Streetlight Notebook item.
Open the item page and click Open Notebook.
From the Cell menu, click Run All.
As the notebook runs, messages will be printed beneath each cell to indicate the progress. When finished, a message will state that the scene layer update is complete.
Exit the notebook and open the Streetlight Viewer app to view the 3D streetlights.
Note:
When you re-run the notebook and update the scene layer, you may need to clear your browser cache or open the browser in incognito or private mode to see the updated streetlights.

Schedule automatic updates

The notebook can be scheduled to run at a regular interval to update the scene layer to reflect the latest streetlight collection defined in the TrafficControlDevices feature layer.

To schedule automatic updates, complete the following steps:

Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the 3D Streetlight Notebook item.
Open the item page and click Open Notebook.
Click Tasks.
Click Create Task.
For Title, type 3D Streetlight Task and click Next.
Set the schedule for your notebook to run.
Click Create Task to finish scheduling the notebook.

Add members to groups in your organization

Included with Streetlight Management are three groups designed to help managers organize their members based on their privileges and their work. The solution includes the following groups: Streetlight Maintenance, Streetlight Operations, and Streetlight Stakeholders.

To add members to the groups, complete the following steps:
