You can configure the geocoding service to look for addresses
in database properties. For example, you might have database properties
that are assigned semantic types of Street Name, City Name, and Post
Code.
To configure that database properties are to be used to
geocode addresses:
- On the Geocoding page of the Data Sources task pane, select a geocoding service and
click Configure Selected Geocoding Service.
- On the Database Properties page of
the Geocoding Service Configuration window, select
the Use database property values for geocoding check box.
By default, database records are disabled,
and no matching is attempted. All parameters must be manually set
up by specifying their semantic types. This approach is the only way that you
can specify which properties to use for mapping.
- Select each row of the table in turn. From the Use typed property value list, click Browse, and select a semantic type to use or select Ignore parameter.
In this example, you might set:
| Source |
Geocoding parameter |
| Street Name |
Street or Intersection |
| City Name |
City or Placename |
| <ignore> |
State |
| Post Code |
ZIP Code |
Note: "*" in the Geocoding
Parameter column indicates that it is a mandatory parameter.
- Optional: Click Reset to reset the settings for database properties back to their default
values.
