Through the use of Dashboards, Web Apps and Maps, and desktop applications like ArcGIS Pro, data can be viewed, queried, edited, etc. However, there could be certain data collection workflows in which real-time notifications would be useful to alert other workers, or members of that organization.

Luckily, with readily available software programs, you and your staff can complete the most time consuming tasks on your own time. First let’s talk about why.
