You can derive coordinates from address elements that are stored in the labels,
attributes, descriptions, card summaries, card descriptions, or data records of an entity. The
derived coordinates are added to the entity as attributes.
About this task
Before you can derive coordinates from an address, make sure that the address data has a
format that the geocoding service recognizes. The format depends on the geocoding service in use,
and its current configuration. If you are not sure of the necessary format, then you
can check it with the Geocode Address tool from the toolbox. You can also
check the format details in the Geocoding Service Configuration window.
Procedure
To derive the coordinates for one or more entities:
-
Open the Geocoding page of the Map Chart Items task
pane, and select the entity or entities on the chart that contain address information.
-
Select the geocoding service that you want to use from the Select a Geocoding
Service list.
-
Click Configure Selected Geocoding Service to display the
Geocoding Service Configuration window. Specify how addresses are extracted
from the text, attribute values, and database properties of chart items,
and then click OK.
-
Ensure that the options are set so that Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri looks
for addresses in the appropriate place.
-
Click Geocode Chart Items.
After the service processes the request, Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri
displays the results in the Geocoding Results area.
-
Select a result and click Update Chart Items to add the coordinates as
attributes to your entity.
You can now send the entity to the Map window.
