Setting the Output Options for Service Geocoding - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

Many of the output options are the same as the input options, so when the definition is the same, we do not repeat them.

To set the output options for table-based service geocoding:

1. Complete the instructions in Geocoding a Table using a Geocoding Service to display the Geocode Properties dialog box, Output tab.
2. Click the Output tab to specify the names of the output columns for the geocoded data.

   Output Table Name - Specifies the output table you selected in the Geocode Using Server dialog box. This field is read only.

   Update Input Columns with Output Values - Select this check box to replace the address column entries in the input table with the geocoded results from the service. Clear this check box to place the results in new columns. This option is only available when the input and output tables are the same.

   CAUTION:
   Consider carefully before selecting this option. If the geocoding server does not find an exact match, you may lose input data.

   Country - Places the country result to be placed into a column in the output table. This is most useful when the geocode request contains addresses from several countries.

   Result Code - Directs the service to place the result code for each input address in this column.

   Longitude (X) - Directs the service to place the longitude value in this column.

   Latitude (Y) - Directs the service to place the latitude value in this column.

   Create Points in Output Table - Select this check box to add the point geometries to the output table. Clear this check box to ignore the point geometries.

   Add Columns - Use this button to add fields to the output table using the Modify Table Structure dialog box. This is useful when you want to set the Result Code, the Longitude, or the Latitude but the output table does not contain these columns.

   Save Settings to Output Table Metadata - Select this check box to save the geocoding settings to the metadata in the output table you specified.

3. When you have completed these selections and entries, you are ready to select other geocoding settings or click Geocode to begin the geocoding process. See:
