Street-Level Geocoding

You can add a Street-Level Geocoding node to a data job to conduct street-level geographic location analysis. Once you have added the node, you can double-click it to open its properties dialog. The properties dialog includes the following elements:

Name - Specifies a name for the node.

Notes - Enables you to open the Notes dialog. You use the dialog to enter optional details or any other relevant information for the input.

Address type - Specifies United States, Canada, or Guess as the address type for the street-level geocoding processing.

Input fields - Displays all of the fields on which you can run street-level geocoding. Items in this list are dependent on your data source(s) and any steps preceding the node in your data job. To implement street-level geocode processing, click in the field that contains your ZIP code values. Then, select either Postal/Zip Code or Street number in the Field Type column.

The Output fields section of the dialog includes the following elements:

Available - Displays the fields that you can make available for the next step in your data job. Items displayed in this list are dependent on your data sources and any preceding steps in your data job.

Selected - Displays the fields that will be made available to the next node in your data job.

Additional Outputs - Displays the Additional Outputs dialog. This dialog enables you to specify the fields that you can make available to the next node in your data job.

Note: The Street-Level Geocoding accuracy for the US is at the zip code, zip+4, and delivery point. The accuracy for the Canadian data is at the postal code level (similar to the US zip+4 level). The actual data returned is street level.

You can access the following advanced properties by right-clicking the Street-Level Geocoding node:

• FIELD_MAP
• GEO_PATH
