@MaureenKerr Which tool did you use to build the locator you created metadata for? Are you copying and pasting in Windows File Explorer or using the Copy geoprocessing tool? ... View more

@AZendel  If you have a locator that was created with the Create Address Locator tool in either ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, these locators do not support this output field option when geocoding, so you will always get the USER_ prefix appended to the geocode results whether the locator is local or a geocode service. If you geocode your table with a local locator or geocode service based on a locator created with either the Create Locator tool or Create Feature Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 and published to ArcGIS Server 10.9, you will have the option to return a minimal set of output fields in the geocoding tools. You also have the option to turn off the output fields you do not want in the Locator Properties. Below is a description of the output fields options. > All— Includes all available locator output fields in the geocode results and includes the USER_ prefix on the original fields. This is the default. > Location Only—Stores the Shape field in the geocode results. The original field names from the Input Table parameter are maintained with their original field names. > Minimal—Adds the following fields that describe the location and how well it matches information in the locator in the geocode results: Shape, Status, Score, Match_type, Match_addr, and Addr_type. The original field names from the Input Table parameter are maintained. ... View more

@MichelleWilliamsERM  If you geocode a csv table with the Minimal output field option, where in your workflow of appending data do you lose your original fields or have to delete fields?  ... View more

@AZendel If you are using a local locator created with the Create Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 or later you have the ability to use the Minimal output field option at step 6D in the help topic mentioned above. To be able to get this functionality with a geocode service, the locator must be published to ArcGIS Server/Enterprise 10.9 or later. See the note for the output fields parameter in the Geocode Addresses tool, https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/geocoding/geocode-addresses.htm.   ... View more

@ErinCovill1 What version of ArcGIS Pro are you using? Are the layers you have configured for search feature services, local layers, layers in an enterprise geodatabase?  ... View more

@DMOB17 To avoid those ghost suggestions you would need to build a locator using the PointAddress role in the Create Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro. The suggestions returned by locators created with the Create Address Locator tool in ArcMap or versions of Pro prior to 2.7 did not validate the house number or unit to the street name and this is why the "ghost" suggestions occur. What information are they expected to see returned from the Gazetteer style locator? The Create Locator replacement for that would be the POI role. If you have not created locators with the Create Locator tool before, 3 tutorials were added for the 2.9 release. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/tutorial-create-a-locator.htm https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.9/help/data/geocoding/tutorial-create-a-multirole-locator.htm https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.9/help/data/geocoding/tutorial-create-a-locator-with-more-than-one-dataset-of-same-role.htm ...

@JaredPilbeam2 Have you tried using the SignIntoPortal function as part of your script so that you are signed into ArcGIS Online? There is a note about it above the code in sample 4 in the Geocode Addresses topic, https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/geocoding/geocode-addresses.htm#GUID-D92B5478-6B6E-4A79-9ECE-1C24BE984FF1. ...

@Anonymous User Glad I was able to help. You should check out the Enhanced search mode that allows you to use complex searches and use wild cards. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.9/help/data/geocoding/enhanced-search-syntax.htm ... View more

Michael: What type of connection did you make to your non-spatial SQL Server in ArcMap? Did you make a connection as described here https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.7/manage-data/databases/connect-sqlserver.htm (Pro option, https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/databases/connect-sqlserver.htm) or has a geodatabase been enabled in the SQL Server database. ...

We've outlined various workflows for updating an existing locator when the reference data the locator uses changes. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/keep-your-locator-up-to-date.htm. ... View more

The settings for locators and configured layers are tied to the map in the project. You could have two different maps in the project and each could have different providers enabled for each of them. If you are viewing a locator that is grayed out in the Provider Settings, hovering over the locator will give you a message that should help determine why it's not available for use. If the locators you want to remove are always there when you sign into ArcGIS Pro and add a map and have a cloud icon, those locators are likely utility services in your ArcGIS Online organization. You would need to reach out to your organization administrator to have them remove the locator from the list of utility services.   ... View more
