The Job Tracking for ArcGIS Server Extension Enables Better Management of Tasks and Resources
Redlands, California-ESRI announced today the availability of the Job Tracking for ArcGIS Server extension, which helps organizations allocate staffing resources and track the status and progress of jobs from beginning to end.
With Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX), geographic information system (GIS) users are able to monitor projects without slowing the production process. Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX) automatically records all activities associated with a job, allowing managers to quickly and easily check a job's progress and see how it was completed.
This extension is now available for ArcGIS Server.
"For a few years now, our customers have been successfully using Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX) on the desktop to better manage their workflow for both GIS and non-GIS tasks," says Kelly Goldin, product developer, ESRI. "Making this extension available to use with ArcGIS Server improves efficiency by providing greater access to the information within different departments in an organization and even remotely."
Users access the Job Tracking for ArcGIS Server extension capabilities through an easy-to-use Web application on the desktop or in the field. Depending on their role in the organization, authorized users can create a job, assign it, work on it, and check its progress. The application can also be set to automatically send e-mail notifications at points in the process defined by the user.
With the Job Tracking for ArcGIS Server extension, users can improve productivity and efficiency with tools that allow them to
* Create and assign tasks to the appropriate resources.
* Reduce repetitive setup tasks and automate key processes.
* Centralize all job-related information to maintain consistency across an organization or business unit.
* Complete enterprise tasks while tracking staffing and work schedules.
* Distribute work geographically, which is helpful when dealing with a dispersed workforce, a project team across organizations, or contractors half a world away.
