The Download Data command can be used to generate an ArcGIS Map Package for download and extraction into Esri's ArcGIS Desktop.

To do so start by selecting the Download Data command from the Settings Window of the application.

Click on the Download Data command to begin the data download process which will generate a link providing access to an ArcGIS Map Package file.

Extract the Map Package by opening it on your system, which will automatically open the downloaded data directly into ArcGIS Desktop.

Note that the Map Package will include an ArcMap MXD file as well as a file geodatabase.  Multiple versions of the MXD file are included in this package and in some cases the default version may not be the correct version for your environment.  In this case, please use the Catalog window of ArcGIS to navigate to the location of the extracted Map Package, where you can find the correct version of the MXD to open.

A typical Pavement download package will include the following layers:

Pavement Segments (Current Road Lines)

Road Program Segments (Future Planned Work)

Pavement Repair History (Historical Repairs)

Pavement Survey Segments (Historic Surveys)

Scenario Results

Pavement Type (Thematic layer)

Pavement Class (Thematic layer)

Pavement Survey (table)

Pavement Repairs (table)

Scenarios (Scenario Definitions)

Where appropriate, tabular records in the download package are joined to the road segment.  Please note that the PAVEMENTID field references legacy (GPMS) IDs- SAMIS will now create “global id” unique identifiers for all new and imported records.  The linking field between SAMIS segment feature layer’s GLOBALID and related records is named SEGMENTGUID, and the download layers have already provided this link for you in the extracted map.

The layer Pavement Repair History contains every repair in the database linked to the segment feature and is rendered using default colors for category combinations which can be updated to target the cartography desired.

To create a planning map for a specific budget scenario, open the Scenarios table to view the names of the scenarios defined in the system, ie. $1.5 Million 2019.

Open the Scenario Results layer and enter a Definition Expression to filter the results to this scenario name, ie. tbScenario.NAME = '$1.5 Million 2019'

The symbology and rendering can be additionally updated to target the map style of the desired planning map.
