Hi Guys

Hope you all are doing well.

I have a query here where I am trying to figure out where in the standard Add Data widget this might be customizable.

The problem: The add data widget uses the ESRI geocoder to geocode addresses. The problem we are having is that we need the widget to be using our geocoder.

The reason: We upload excel files with address and want to to get the coordinates on the map, but for some reason the standard geocoder add the data to the street closest to the coordinate and not the exact point. The widget also does not allow to change the geocoder to our custom inhouse one.

Any ideas on how to change that perhaps in the widget itself? Maybe someone else have had to do this and might be a quick change in the code?

Regards,

Brett

Brett,

   Hmm.. Actually the search box in the AddData widget searches Portal/AGOL and is not a geocoder at all. You can not change it to use your Geocode service since the widget is not coded to use any geocode service.
