How can I access the "additional fields" in a locator?

JaniceBaird — Tue, 21 Apr 2015 23:55:59 GMT

When creating an Address Locator it is possible to map "Additional Field" to a field in your reference feature class. I have no issue doing this but am unable to figure out how to access this information when using the Address Locator. The help shows:

ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) ...

Once I have published my Address Locator to arcgis server, how can I get to the PropertyOwner information when I use this address locator in arcgis javascript? I am able to geocode address and reverse geocode locations in my map but want to access the additional information.

I hope this makes sense...

Thanks,

Janice.

I am marking Chris with the correct answer since he pointed us in the direction of looking at the outfields. However, the information provided by Kelly and Tim is worth looking at! Thanks to all for helping me with this issue.

Does anyone at ESRI know how to access these additional fields? I assume they are there for a reason.

Thanks,

Janice.

Janice,

These threads have some info regarding this:

Hope this helps!

Do you have a service published that includes this additional field, for testing purposes?

Tim and Chris thanks for the input...

Chris - I have already added the information into my custom address locator and see it in the xml file that is created for the locator. I am on 10.2.2 and apparently the xml now includes the User Fields.

Tim - I have a service published for testing, here: GeoCode/AddressLocator_Test2 (GeocodeServer)

Thanks,

Janice.

One more thing, do you have a test address?

Re: How can I access the "additional fields" in a locator?

I tried this (updated answer):

{"records":[{"attributes":{"STREET": "910 Cleveland Avenue","CITY": "Mount Vernon","ZIP":"98273"}}]}

And returned:

address:

910 CLEVELAND AVE, MVW, 98273

location:

{"x":1274832.9507542253,"y":520246.6433484256}

score:

95.21

attributes:

{"ResultID":-1,"Status":"M","Score":95.21,"Match_addr":"910 CLEVELAND AVE, MVW, 98273","Side":"L","Ref_ID":7234,"Street_ID":"0","User_fld":"03085","Addr_type":"StreetAddress"}

I also tried the candidate one:

Find Address Candidates: (GeoCode/AddressLocator_Test2)

I pulled a Skagit County addy:

910 Cleveland Avenue, Mount Vernon, 98273

And returned:

Shape:

Point:

1274832.950875386

520246.64341954107

Score: 95.21

Address: 910 CLEVELAND AVE, MVW, 98273

You'll probably have to add the out fields, I believe...

Chris and Tim,

Using the service and an address I get:

Geocoded Addresses:

address:

1019 MCLEAN RD, MVW, 98273

location:

{"x":1272551.3920042217,"y":521938.5593484193}

score:

89.04

attributes:

{"ResultID":-1,"Status":"M","Score":89.04,"Match_addr":"1019 MCLEAN RD, MVW, 98273","Side":"R","Ref_ID":6525,"Street_ID":"0","User_fld":"44000","Addr_type":"StreetAddress"}

and the "User_fld" is what I am after. The value for this address in the User_fld is "44000". This is great! How do I get to it using the locator in javascript?

Janice.

Sadly the javascript api only returns the following attributes.

All of the resulting out fields should be included if you specify the out fields when using the addressToLocations method. If I run this test app and look in the console I can see that the User_fld info is returned.

Kelly,

I am doing reverse geocoding and using locationToAddress... Is there a way to get the field info from this? I suppose I could take the returned address and run it through addressToLocations. Would that be the best way to access the info or do you know of another way?

thanks,

Janice.

Who do I pick as "correct answer"? Chris was on the right trail with suggesting that I needed to add the outfields!

Re: How can I access the "additional fields" in a locator?

KellyHutchins — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:16:39 GMT

Do you have the coords for the location you are using? You might have to take the returned address and use addressesToLocations but I can take a look.

I'd pick Chris Smith as the correct answer since he was the first to reply with the info that you needed out fields.

Re: How can I access the "additional fields" in a locator?

JaniceBaird — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:26:43 GMT

I am using a map click to get the reverse geocoded address. I am using a locator like you show in your example only I am using locationToAddress. I should be able to feed this into the options for addressToLocations like in your example. I will try this unless you come up with a better method.

Thanks for your help!

KellyHutchins — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:28:57 GMT

I took a look and it doesn't look like reverse geocode will return the out fields so you'll have to feed the address back into addressToLocations.
