ArcGIS Workflow Manager

ArcGIS Workflow Manager, previously known as Job Tracking for ArcGIS (JTX), is an enterprise workflow management application that provides an integration framework for ArcGIS multiuser geodatabase environments. The ArcGIS Workflow Manager is an extension to ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server to help organizations keep track and streamline the workflow. ArcGIS Workflow Manager provides the tools to allocate resources, and track the status of jobs. ArcGIS Workflow Manager automatically records detailed job actions to generate a complete report.

System Requirements

 * ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Desktop - Requires ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop Standard or ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop Advanced. ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Desktop has the same system requirements as ArcGIS for Desktop.


 * ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Server - Requires ArcGIS for Server with a Standard or Advanced license. ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Server has the same requirements as ArcGIS for Server and is only supported for the Windows operating system.


 * Database requirement - Requires an enterprise geodatabase to support a central job repository. Any of the relational database management system (RDBMS) types supported by ArcGIS can be used.

Key Features



 * Workflow management - Define, organize, and standardize the individual tasks within a workflow; allocate staffing resources, assign tasks, and track the status and progress of jobs.


 * Job tracking - Record any action performed on the job, and log the activities in the administration database.


 * Version management - Facilitate simultaneous project workflows from a centralized geodatabase.


 * Multiple data warehouse support - Manage data distributed across multiple ArcSDE geodatabases, use data from varying departments or data stores within the organization, and configure each geodatabase connection as a data workspace.


 * History tracking and change detection - Capture and store feature-level transactions using geodatabase archiving tools.


 * Spatial notifications - Use the automatic email notification tools to alert people in organization if changes are made within the database.


 * Distributed workforce - Maintain multiple ArcGIS Workflow Manager repositories locally in different geographic regions while allowing users at each location to work on the same set of jobs.


 * Reporting - Define and produce summary reports for projects.

Workflow Manager Service
A workflow manager service is a type of ArcGIS service originating from an ArcGIS Workflow Manager repository. Users can do the following with a workflow manager service:
 * Expose workflow management capabilities on the web using ArcGIS.
 * Integrate existing business processes with GIS workflows through the REST and SOAP Application Programming Interface (API).
 * View job status using a web application.
 * Assign work to staff.
 * Monitor the progress of the job.
