CityGrows and the City of Sacramento
During this first quarter of 2017, CityGrows is working with local governments in California to create mutually beneficial pilot implementations of government workflows on the CityGrows platforms.
In each case, we’re working with a local partner to both better understand their needs and how they use our workflow and open data tools, usually resulting in some product upgrades and new features.
The first of our pilot implementation is up and running with the City of Sacramento. The CityGrows platform is their choice for collecting data on the work of their RAILS Grant awardees. They’re showcasing the work of their 15 awardees — who received grants to support acceleration, innovation and leadership, designed to enhance and supercharge Sacramento’s growing and vibrant technology community, while increasing equity and diversity within the local tech scene.
For Sacramento, we accelerated a feature that was already in our pipeline — the ability to display all the information associated with each instance of a process through our automatic open data platform.
We already allowed for easy display of aggregate data — but now the public can also drill down into individual process submissions to see the information in any fields included in the open data output (we let administrators keep some field data out of the open data, so that people can enter sensitive information like cell phone numbers without them becoming public).
