You can configure the geocoding service to look for addresses in chart item text. For
example, a card on an entity might contain an address: ADDR/My street, My city, My postal
code//.
Procedure
To configure geocoding to use extracted text:
-
On the Geocoding page of the Data Sources task pane,
select a geocoding service and click Configure Selected Geocoding
Service.
-
On the Extracted Text page of the Geocoding Service
Configuration window, select the Use addresses extracted from text for
geocoding check box.
By selecting this option, you specify that address information is geocoded from text. This
check box is selected by default.
-
The Geocoding Parameter column contains all the available parameters on
the geocoding service. To specify an address part to use for a specific parameter, select a row in
the table. From the Use part of address list, select an address part. This
selection can be part of an address, or you can use the full address parameter.
Note: "*" in the Geocoding Parameter
column indicates that it is a mandatory parameter.
Address parts are based on free text extraction. Each address part is extracted up to a
delimiter in the free text and sequentially numbered. A delimiter can be a comma or a
line break, for example, and you might configure the following settings for an address with the format
ADDR/My street, My city, My postal code//:
| Source |
Geocoding parameter |
| Address Part 1 |

- Optional:

<ignore> is displayed in the Source column.
