Road/Address Range Layers for intersection lookups

 

 

 

Options on this page are only available after the actions in Input Tab > Server Side History Report Resources > Reverse Geocoding Setup have been done. The layers used in this section may vary depending on the desired report outcome. The resulting location is based on the nearest straight line/"as the crow flies" distance to the feature in the selected layer. Only one layer should be selected per geographic area. Multiple layers are allowed to optionally include regional areas where vehicles may travel.

 

1) Click the Add button.

 

          

 

2) Select the Road/Address Range layer(s) to be used. If selecting more than one layer, click the Add button again to choose the next layer. The layers used in this section must be chosen carefully. There should only be one layer per geographic area. Multiple layers are allowed to optionally include regional areas where vehicles may travel. If multiple layers need to be included, they should be reviewed in Think GIS to identify the field names common between them so the Intersection Label Format may be set in a manner that works for all selected layers.

 

          

 

3) Input the Intersection Label Format. By default, the label format is, [Dir] [Street], [Community]. The fields used must be available in all selected layers in order for this to work. Familiarity with the exact field names of the layer is needed in order to configure this. Include field names in square brackets along with any other formatting text. For example, if using an address range layer then it is advisable to specify a label format like this:

[Dir] [Street], [Left Community]

Which would result in a location description like:

S Olden Ave, Hamilton Twp / Estates Blvd, Hamilton Twp

 

          

 

4) The layer(s) will show in the display window. To delete a layer, click on it in the display window, and then click the Remove button to delete it. To save these settings, click the Save button at the top of the setup window.

 

          

 

5) The resulting Activity Report will appear as follows:

 

          

 

6) Once the parameters for this section have been configured, move on to the Display Layer section to continue configuration. If only modifications to this section of the Manage Geocoding Layer form were needed, then click Save on the form and click on Apply Changes and Restart Service.
