Setting the Table Options for Service Geocoding - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To set the table options for service geocoding:

1. Complete the instructions in Geocoding a Table using a Geocoding Service to display the Geocode Properties dialog box, Table Options tab.
2. Click the Table Options tab to specify the following table options.

   Geocoding Mode - There are two ways to geocode your records using the server: Automatic or Interactive. Automatic mode usually moves faster, but may geocode fewer records. Interactive mode takes longer but the resulting matches allow you more choice in determining the results.

   Automatic - Select this option to geocode street level records of the selected table automatically. If no records match the data in the table, the service skips the record. If multiple records match the data in the table, you can either select:

   • Do Not Match - Use this option if you want to perform an interactive geocode with all of the multiple matching records later.
   • Accept First - Use this option to select the first matching address.

   Interactive - Select this option to geocode the records of the selected table interactively. When you select this option, the geocoding service lists all close matches for a given address so you can choose the one you want to accept. This option is selected directly when you select the Postal Centroid or Geographic Centroid options.

   Close Matches Only - Select this option to restrict the number of matches that the service displays. The geocoding server determines close matching by reviewing the matches and scoring the results based on how much of the address matches the requested address.

   Mixed Case - Select this check box to display the results of your geocoding in mixed case (for the U.S. and Canada only). You might want to select this if you are going to export this data into a report or some other presentation application. If you do not select this option all information in the output fields display in capital letters.

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:
