Workforce Scripts

A set of Python scripts and notebooks to help administer and configure Workforce projects.

Notebooks

Several example Jupyter notebooks are provided to demonstrate some more advanced workflows that are possible via the ArcGIS API for Python and Workforce:

• 1 - Configuring a Project
• 2 - Importing Assignments
• 3 - Assigning Work
• 4 - Optimally Creating and Assigning Work Orders Based on Routes

Notebooks used for previous demos are also available:

• UC 2018
• Dev Summit 2019
• UC 2019
• Dev Summit 2020

In addition, we have uploaded our AGOL-compatible notebooks into a publicly accessible group of Hosted Notebooks in ArcGIS Online

Scripts

Supports:

• Python 3.6+
• Python API for ArcGIS 1.8.3+

The Workforce team released a new version of the app supporting offline-enabled Projects in July 2020. To work with those projects in Python and deploy the corresponding scripts in this repo, users will need to update their version of the Python API to 1.8.3. This can be downloaded in Conda prior to 1.8.3's official release via:

conda install -c esri/label/prerelease -c esri arcgis

A set of Python scripts using the ArcGIS API for Python v1.8.3+. These scripts support Workforce in both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.

Note that some may scripts may work with a Python API for ArcGIS version that is less than 1.8.3 but this cannot be guaranteed.

Issues

Although we do our best to ensure these scripts and notebooks work as expected, they are provided as is and there is no official support.
