Internship

November 20, 2021

Weeks 10&11

Throughout the past two weeks, I have continued to work through the training programs of CityWorks online and other programs associated with CityWorks. The CityWorks program I am currently going through is the Designer for AMS. This program is teaching me how the AMS workflows work within the CityWorks system. This training program guides me through the course as an administrator and how to make site-specific configurations as an administrator. These configurations include editing certain categories within the designer systems such as labor, employees, materials, etc. These processes that I am learning throughout the course are helping me how to manage and mitigate workflows in the CityWorks system. This is all preparing me to work with the CityWorks program in the future. The Designer for AMS learning course is also helpful in identifying certain issues that may be overlooked and how to identify these issues properly. 

The CityWorks learning course Designer for AMS is also helpful in learning how to create configurations for GIS-specific CityWorks sites. In the future, I hope to be able to put more of this knowledge into practice for the continuing internship for CityWorks. I also hope to be able to go out into the field to collect data with Janelle Valdinger for both CityWorks and the Department of Public Utilities GIS systems. This will allow me to gain real-world experience in providing data for the GIS systems that I have been working with all semester long. I will continue to make progress with the CityWorks learning courses and review ArcGIS practices to help with the Department of Public Utilities in Delaware Ohio.¬†“
