My Government Services - Zip or City Only Search

MaryEllen_Perko

Hi.  This may be a stupid question, but we are looking at the My Government Services template for a statewide solution and are wondering how to change the locator configuration (we're using esri's service) to locate a city, state (e.g. Raleigh, NC) or zip code (e.g. 27604) in addition to a full address.  

Or does that even make sense for this template?

Thanks for the help.

Mary,

You can deploy the my government services application as a statewide solution if it satisfies your business requirements. At 10.2 the My Government Services (this is the current version http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=23c7fd011b64434d87fb0aa607f2c049) you�??ll need to modify the Address Search Settings section in the configuration file. See my example below.

Locators: [{
            DisplayText: "Search Address", //Set placeholder text
            DefaultValue: "139 W Porter Ave Naperville IL 60540", // Set default address to search.
            LocatorParameters: ["SingleLine"], // Set Locator fields (fields to be used for searching).
            LocatorURL: "http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer",
            CandidateFields: "Addr_type, Postal, Score, Match_addr", //Set which fields are returned in results
            DisplayField: "${Match_addr}", //Set which field from results is displayed
            AddressMatchScore: 80, //Set minimum score to be considered a match
            LocatorFieldName: 'Addr_type', //The returned field which specifies match type (specific locator within composite)
            LocatorFieldValues: ["StreetAddress", "StreetName", "Postal", "POI"] //List of acceptable individual locators (within composite)
        }]

I changed Loc_name in the CandidateFields row to Addr_type and added Postal. I also changed the LocatorFieldName from LocName to Addr_type. Finally I removed USA.StreetName, USA.PointAddress, and USA.StreetAddress and replaced it with StreetAddress, StreetName, Postal and POI. Try the search out and see if it works for you.
