Version 6.0 | Prior Versions
Overview
From the original concept of Govern, the integration of GIS has played a key role in developing Govern’s centralized, land-based, property control data model. Over time, driven by the evolution of the industry as well as client needs, Govern has integrated different GIS engines [systems], developed applications, functions and a web PC/GIS service API. see technical sheet
Govern Applications
Harris Govern offers two products for integrating Govern with the Esri ArcGIS suite of applications;
- Govern GIS Explorer
- Govern GIS Parcel Editor
- Govern Web Browser Integration
Govern GISExplorer
Govern GISExplorer is fully integrated with Govern OpenForms, version 5.1, 5.2, and 6. Once it is configured, it can be accessed directly from the view menu in Govern. It can also be used through a Web browser. It presents geographic information from the Govern database on a local map that is installed on ArcGIS for Server. It presents this information in a collection of map layers that users can navigate and query for parcel information, historical information, creating an abutter’s list, creating an inspection route, and multiple other users.
Installing and Configuring Govern GISExplorer
Govern GISExplorer requires ESRI ArcGIS for Server and ArcMap. Versions 10.1 and later are strongly recommended. You need to install a base map and a client map on ArcGIS for Server.
In order to integrate the ESRI geodatabase with the Govern database, you need to perform the following configuration in GNA.
- Complete the GNA GIS parameters.
- Provide the base map and the client map URLs
- Create a GIS tooltip for identifying parcels.
- Run the GIS Synchro Tool to synchronize the geodatabase with the Govern database.
- Once the configuration is complete, Govern GISExplorer can be accessed directly from the Govern View menu.
Documentation
This section provides links to the documentation on the Govern GISExplorer. There are separate documents for version 6.0 and 5.1. The difference is in how the application is integrated with Govern. Otherwise, the features and functions of the application are the same.

Govern GIS ParcelEditor
The Govern GIS Parcel Editor is designed for use with Govern OpenForms [v5.1+] and Govern for Windows [10.7+].
You can initiate a property split / merge or rename a division directly on your client map in Esri ArcMap. Then, maintain and update the transaction record in Govern.
The Govern GIS Parcel Editor is an Add-In created for ESRI ArcMap™ 10.1. Users who are not familiar with ArcMap can consult the ESRI website. All the information required for running ArcMap, as well as a number of training videos, is available on this site http://training.esri.com/gateway/index.cfm
Installing and Configuring the Govern GIS Parcel Editor
The Govern GIS Parcel Editor requires an IIS Server, Govern Property Control (PC) Web service, Esri ArcGIS for Server, and ArcMap, v 10.1 or higher.
The Govern GIS Parcel Map Editor installation file MSGovernGISAddin.esriAddIn This file is installed using the ARCMap Add In configuration tool. When installation is complete, the Govern toolbox is added to ArcMap.
You need to complete the following configuration in order to integrate the GIS Parcel Editor with Govern:
- Complete the GNA GIS parameters.
- Run the GIS Synchro tool to synchronize the geodatabase with the Govern database.
- Perform a configuration using the Govern toolbox in ArcMap.
- Define general settings on the System Registry in GNA.
- Map GIS data to Govern using the Data Mapping Editor.
