Geocoding

Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. Addresses are automatically geocoded into latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates using a geocoder provided by ESRI and ArcGIS Online.

When you enter the value for an address attribute of an entity (example: Job address attribute, Folder address attribute, etc.), 12d Synergy attempts to geocode it. If the address is not traceable, 12d Synergy will inform you that it was unable to find a match for the given address.

1.1. How to Set Up Geocoding

12d Synergy by default provides a geocoding service that utilises ESRI's ArcGIS Online. If you have your own ArcGIS geocoding service, you can use that instead.

1. In the 12d Synergy Administration application, select the Mapping tab > Geocoding Configuration tab.
   
   
   By default, the 12d Synergy option is selected from the Type list. The path to the default geocoder is also displayed in the URL/Path box.
2. Select the ArcGIS Server from the Type list.
   The settings displayed are based on the option you select from the Type list.
   
   
   
3. Enter the details displayed in their corresponding boxes as provided by your ArcGIS Server Administrator.
4. Click the Save button.
   The selected geocoding service is set.
