Spatial Analyst users can choose specific database while creating a new Geocoding configuration. While editing an old configuration which does not have database information, the administrators must add database and country information before saving the configuraiton. If you select On Premise option, you will get following options:
The following options are available on On Premise page.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| API |
Select Geocode or Geosearch from the API drop-down list.
Geosearch API returns an auto-completed list of an address or point of interest on a web client. When Geosearch service is configured, the search will list a range of addresses in Spatial Analyst. This service is useful when Spatial Analyst user enters a partial address in the search, the Geosearch API auto-completes the list of corresponding full addresses so that the user can easily select the accurate address from the list. When a user chooses an address from the list (address range), Spatial Analyst will zoom and center the map to the selected location. If LI API Geocode service is also configured along with the Geosearch, Spatial Analyst will make an additional request to the LI API geocode service to get the accurate building level address and place a marker on the map. |

| Custom | Allows you to define the matching criteria by setting Custom Mode Must Match Fields |
| Interactive | Available in single-line address matching
