Specifying Geocoder Options - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

The Geocoder process uses the address attributes output by the Postal Matcher process to determine latitude and longitude values. These attributes are country-specific. Values are automatically supplied, but you can change one or more of the default attributes or you can specify an attribute for an undefined address line. For example, you might prefer to change one or more of the Postal Matcher output attributes to an attribute from your original input data.

To specify Geocoder options

1. From the Navigation View, right-click the xx Geocoder (xx = country code) process and select Edit Process.
2. Select the Options tab. The Options window opens.
3. Review the current values for the Geocoder input attributes. They are the default input attributes and vary by country. Some countries use only a few input attributes.

   Input Attribute	Description
   Region	Region, state, province
   City	City
   Postcode	Postal code
   Street line part 1-4	All elements of the street name including street direction and street type.
   Premise	Premise number or house number
   Sub City	Sub city, district, suburb, neighborhood
   Principality	Administrative region
   Extra City	Small region (for example, Cedex in France)

4. To change a setting or specify an attribute for an undefined setting, select an attribute from the drop-down list.
5. Repeat step 4 as necessary.
6. If you want the data to be validated against all sources, check the Validate against all sources check box. Turning on this option will allow the Geocoder to return the best match from multiple sources instead of just one source.
7. In the Timeout (seconds) field, enter a numeric value for the maximum amount of time in seconds that the Geocoder is allowed to take. The default timeout is 5 seconds.
   Note: Do not change the default value unless requested to do so by Precisely Support or Professional Services department.
8. Click Finish.
