Pozi "profiles" are a way to present different experiences to different users within your organisation.
-
Any given map catalogue can be assigned zero or one or more profile names in the QGIS project using a keyword parameter. If Pozi is launched with a profile parameter in the URL (eg ../#/profile[assets]/), Pozi will display only those catalogues that have been configured with that profile name (as well as any catalogues that haven't been configured with any profile names).
-
The keyword is defined at the catalogue level (ie, not layer level). When Pozi loads the catalogue, it checks for the presence of any profile keywords. If any profiles are found, Pozi will add a dropdown menu at the top of the layer panel that shows the available profiles.
+
Pozi "profiles" are a way to present separate streamlined views of your organisation's layers for a variety of workflows. Users can switch between profiles using the dropdown menu in the layer panel to see a filtered view of all the available layers and search options. Profiles enable users to view a subset of layers for a given task at hand, and to switch profiles to view other layers for which they have been granted permissions.
+
Any given map catalogue can be assigned zero or one or more profile names in the QGIS project using a keyword parameter. If Pozi is launched with a profile parameter in the URL (eg ../#/profile[assets]/), or if the user picks a profile from the dropdown menu at the top of the layer panel, Pozi will display only those catalogues that have been configured with that profile name.
+
The keyword is defined at the catalogue level (ie, not layer level). When Pozi loads the catalogue, it checks for the presence of any profile keywords. If any profiles are found, Pozi adds a dropdown menu at the top of the layer panel listing each available profile.
Project > Properties > QGIS Server > Services Capabilities > Keyword list
Example: profiles=Assets;Infrastructure
(Separate multiple profile names with semicolons.)
-
When Pozi is launched with a profile specified in the URL, only the catalogues that contain a matching profile name or that don't have any profiles specified are enabled. Users can still switch profiles using the dropdown menu at the top of the layer panel.
-
If there are catalogues that you don't want to appear in the Assets profile, assign them with at least one profile, for example profiles=General.

The software can be adapted to automatically sync the council's data to the cloud platform.","We've established trust and built upon relationships we've had with Victorian councils over 20 years.","We've proven we can build and maintain scalable web infrastructure with our Pozi Web GIS solution.","We're passionate about solving this problem once and for all."]},{"l":"Questions","p":["But ideally, in a scenario in which every council decides to switch, it becomes possible for DEECA to internally process all its updates with a more efficient format than the M1.","But in the future, the platform can be adapted to synchronise and consolidate any data that councils are required to provide in a standard format. The platform can automate the delivery of statewide spatial and non-spatial data from councils to any government agency.","data cleansing and preparation","DEECA currently relies on council staff across Victoria to routinely compile change requests (M1s) detailing which records have changed (PFIs), what to update (property numbers, address attributes), and how to update it (edit codes).","Do you like the name?","ensuring every council is catered for (resources, technology, data integrations)","For councils that don't already have Pozi Connect, we can optionally install and customise it for you.","For now, we're focussing on council property data to eliminate the M1 burden.","hosting and support considerations","If not, we'd love to hear any suggestions you have!","If your council already has Pozi Connect installed, we can update it to synchronise the council's property data to the cloud platform.","Instead of DEECA constantly recreating council information from individual change requests, their role will be to validate and merge the council's property attributes from the central source of truth into their Vicmap datasets.","Most discussions about improving the property data maintenance processes for councils have involved minor improvements to the M1 such as creating new edit codes or adding more fields to the specification.","No council's property data is perfect. However, automation of property updates is possible with any level of data quality.","No.","No. But we will work with DEECA to make it happen if there is sufficient demand.","No. Only data such as address attributes and property numbers is used. No information beyond what normally appears in an M1 spreadsheet will be transferred.","No. Our existing Pozi Connect M1 and PIQA solution already uses a single, common data model/table structure (based on the PIQA format). Pozi Connect uses this model to process data from every council property system without exception.","obtaining buy-in from all relevant parties","Or you can use your own software (like FME) or automated scripts to perform the data sync.","Our existing M1 solution, Pozi Connect, has been generating M1s for councils for years, and already takes this into account. It's designed to not unmatch any property or remove any address information unless the council has a more complete record for that property with which to replace it. This same conservative approach will be applied for updates from the new consolidated dataset.","Property numbers that are associated with custom property boundaries will be respected. Councils may optionally maintain a look-up table of propnum vs property_pfi for custom properties. Any property numbers in this list will be associated with the target property polygon instead of a known parcel.","safeguards to prevent unintended updates","The cloud platform will include an interactive dashboard for councils to manage edits. Validation rules will be configured to flag any updates that would affect (or be affected by) any multi-assessment, access type and distance-based address attributes. Councils will use the dashboard to approve or amend any flagged updates.","The cloud service provides a clearinghouse where each council's property information is centralised. The service enables DEECA to obtain daily or weekly snapshots of the combined statewide property data. When DEECA has on-demand access to the complete council property information for the whole state, it doesn't need to re-assemble this information from dozens of spreadsheets.","To update Vicmap, DEECA will compare what changed between snapshots of the council data and then apply those changes to Vicmap. DEECA can continue to use the M1 format internally for supplying the changes to the Vicmap data maintainer. Or DEECA may develop a more efficient way to get changes into Vicmap. Either way, councils never need to use M1s again.","transition phase","Under the proposed solution, DEECA will gain access to a single source of truth of all council property information for the whole state, enabling it to update its Vicmap datasets on demand.","We have a different idea about how to better exchange data that doesn't rely on spreadsheets. It's a new shared-service approach based on modern technologies, and it involves DEECA taking a greater role in the property data maintenance workflow.","Yes!","Yes.","Yes. Councils may choose to continue submitting M1s to VES using their current software and workflow.","Yes. Councils will inspect and approve change reports through the web dashboard before submission for integration into Vicmap.

The software can be adapted to automatically sync the council's data to the cloud platform.","We've established trust and built upon relationships we've had with Victorian councils over 20 years.","We've proven we can build and maintain scalable web infrastructure with our Pozi Web GIS solution.","We're passionate about solving this problem once and for all."]},{"l":"Questions","p":["But ideally, in a scenario in which every council decides to switch, it becomes possible for DEECA to internally process all its updates with a more efficient format than the M1.","But in the future, the platform can be adapted to synchronise and consolidate any data that councils are required to provide in a standard format. The platform can automate the delivery of statewide spatial and non-spatial data from councils to any government agency.","data cleansing and preparation","DEECA currently relies on council staff across Victoria to routinely compile change requests (M1s) detailing which records have changed (PFIs), what to update (property numbers, address attributes), and how to update it (edit codes).","Do you like the name?","ensuring every council is catered for (resources, technology, data integrations)","For councils that don't already have Pozi Connect, we can optionally install and customise it for you.","For now, we're focussing on council property data to eliminate the M1 burden.","hosting and support considerations","If not, we'd love to hear any suggestions you have!","If your council already has Pozi Connect installed, we can update it to synchronise the council's property data to the cloud platform.","Instead of DEECA constantly recreating council information from individual change requests, their role will be to validate and merge the council's property attributes from the central source of truth into their Vicmap datasets.","Most discussions about improving the property data maintenance processes for councils have involved minor improvements to the M1 such as creating new edit codes or adding more fields to the specification.","No council's property data is perfect. However, automation of property updates is possible with any level of data quality.","No.","No. But we will work with DEECA to make it happen if there is sufficient demand.","No. Only data such as address attributes and property numbers is used. No information beyond what normally appears in an M1 spreadsheet will be transferred.","No. Our existing Pozi Connect M1 and PIQA solution already uses a single, common data model/table structure (based on the PIQA format). Pozi Connect uses this model to process data from every council property system without exception.","obtaining buy-in from all relevant parties","Or you can use your own software (like FME) or automated scripts to perform the data sync.","Our existing M1 solution, Pozi Connect, has been generating M1s for councils for years, and already takes this into account. It's designed to not unmatch any property or remove any address information unless the council has a more complete record for that property with which to replace it. This same conservative approach will be applied for updates from the new consolidated dataset.","Property numbers that are associated with custom property boundaries will be respected. Councils may optionally maintain a look-up table of propnum vs property_pfi for custom properties. Any property numbers in this list will be associated with the target property polygon instead of a known parcel.","safeguards to prevent unintended updates","The cloud platform will include an interactive dashboard for councils to manage edits. Validation rules will be configured to flag any updates that would affect (or be affected by) any multi-assessment, access type and distance-based address attributes. Councils will use the dashboard to approve or amend any flagged updates.","The cloud service provides a clearinghouse where each council's property information is centralised. The service enables DEECA to obtain daily or weekly snapshots of the combined statewide property data. When DEECA has on-demand access to the complete council property information for the whole state, it doesn't need to re-assemble this information from dozens of spreadsheets.","To update Vicmap, DEECA will compare what changed between snapshots of the council data and then apply those changes to Vicmap. DEECA can continue to use the M1 format internally for supplying the changes to the Vicmap data maintainer. Or DEECA may develop a more efficient way to get changes into Vicmap. Either way, councils never need to use M1s again.","transition phase","Under the proposed solution, DEECA will gain access to a single source of truth of all council property information for the whole state, enabling it to update its Vicmap datasets on demand.","We have a different idea about how to better exchange data that doesn't rely on spreadsheets. It's a new shared-service approach based on modern technologies, and it involves DEECA taking a greater role in the property data maintenance workflow.","Yes!","Yes.","Yes. Councils may choose to continue submitting M1s to VES using their current software and workflow.","Yes. Councils will inspect and approve change reports through the web dashboard before submission for integration into Vicmap.
