Storing coordinates in records

If the geocode data for your entities or links are stored in the entity or link record, you need to set the fields that store coordinates in the mapping configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the mapping configuration, click the Entities or Links as Points tab to display the appropriate page.
  2. Click the name of the entity or link type and then click Location Fields.
  3. From the X and Y lists, select the fields in the entity or link.
    Note: Ignore the Address and Extra boxes. These fields are provided for compatibility with earlier versions of iBase. If you need to supply extra data to the mapping application, use the extra fields. For more information, see Sending extra data to the mapping application.
  4. Click OK to continue.
