I am trying to geocode a list of customers that have APN (Assessors Parcel Number) and address information using county parcel data. The parcel data includes APN, and address information in a single field and also split out into individual fields (House number, Dir, Street, Type, etc....). My original thought was to create a composite locator that would first, use a single-field locator built on the APN field. Then use a second locator to match the customer to the address. Lastly, use the ESRI world locator to geocode any remaining customers. The locators work individually when you run it on the customer data, but if I try to group them in a composite locator, there is no way for the locator to look for the APN field in the customer data. The overall goal is to run the customer list through one geocoder instead of feeding unmatched customers through different geocoders and appending them back to the original geocode (a messy process!)
Essentially, I would like to create an address locator that matches customers to their assigned APN. If no APN exists (the field is null), then match to the address, using the parcel data as a reference, then the ESRI world locator. Any help or direction on this would be greatly appreciated!
