Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Table
| The table on the portal that contains the addresses or places to geocode. | Record Set |
Address Locator
| The portal locator that will be used to geocode the input table from the portal. You can choose a locator from the populated list of locators on the active portal or browse the active portal for other available locators. Locators that have been set as utility services on the active portal will be available by default. If the portal locator you want to use is not in the populated list, ask your portal administrator to add the locator as a portal utility service, and configure the locator for batch geocoding. Note:The ArcGIS World Geocoding Service is disabled for this tool. Use the Geocode Addresses tool if you want to use the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service. | Address Locator |
Address Field Mapping
| The address fields used by the locator are mapped to fields in the input table of addresses. Specify Single Field if the complete address is stored in one field in the input table, for example, 303 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308. Specify Multiple Fields if the input addresses are divided into multiple fields such as Address, City, State, and ZIP for a general United States address. Specify Single Field and Country Field if the complete address, for example, 303 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308, and the country, for example, USA, are divided into separate fields such as Address and Country. Some locators support multiple input address fields, such as Address, Address2, and Address3. In this case, the address component can be separated into multiple fields, and the address fields will be concatenated at the time of geocoding. For example, 100, Main St, and Apt 140 across three fields or 100 Main St and Apt 140 across two fields, both become 100 Main St Apt 140 when geocoding. If you do not map an optional input address field used by the locator to a field in the input table of addresses, specify that there is no mapping using <None> in place of a field name. | Field Info |
Output Feature Layer Name
| The name of the output geocoded feature layer that will be created on the portal. | String |
Country
(Optional) | The country or countries that will be searched for the geocoded addresses. This parameter is available for locators that support a country parameter and will limit geocoding to the specified countries. Specifying a country will improve the accuracy of geocoding in most cases. When you specify Single Field and Country Field for the Address Field Mapping parameter and map a field representing countries in the Input Table parameter value to the Country field for the Address Field Mapping parameter, the country value from the Input Table parameter will override the Country parameter. This is limited to the specified country or countries. When no country is specified, geocoding is performed using all supported countries of the locator. The Country parameter is not supported for all locators. | String |
Preferred Location Type
(Optional) | Specifies the preferred output geometry that will be returned for Point Address matches. The options for this parameter are Routing location, which is the side of street location that can be used for routing and Address location, which is the location that represents the rooftop or parcel centroid for the address. If the preferred location does not exist in the data, the default location will be returned. For geocode results with Addr_type=PointAddress, the x,y attribute values describe the coordinates of the address along the street, and the DisplayX and DisplayY values describe the rooftop or building centroid coordinates. This parameter is not supported for all locators.
| String |
Category
(Optional) | Limits the types of places the locator searches, eliminating false positive matches and potentially speeding up the search process. When no category is used, geocoding is performed using all supported categories. Not all category values are supported for all locations and countries. In general, this parameter can be used for the following:
This parameter is not supported for all locators. | String |
Output Fields
(Optional) | Specifies the locator output fields that will be returned in the geocode results.
Note:This parameter can be used with input locators created with the Create Locator or Create Feature Locator tool published to Enterprise 10.9 or later. Composite locators that contain at least one locator created with the Create Address Locator tool do not support this parameter. | String |
