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

JaniceBaird · ‎04-21-2015

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.

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!

KellyHutchins · ‎04-28-2015

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.

JaniceBaird · ‎04-28-2015

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 · ‎04-28-2015

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.
