I am currently doing some address geocoding and noticed where some improvement could be made to the rematch address geoprocessing tool.
I started with over 1600 tied address records and I am rematching them over time. Normally, there are numerous matches with equal scores and you just select the best option. However, some addresses do not have a good match and must be skipped and require further review. This process is taking weeks to complete and I have built up a large list of addresses to skip. Each time I start the rematch address process, I have to manually click through all the skipped addresses to reach the point where I can continue rematching the tied addresses.
So here is the improvement I am suggesting, instead of only allowing the user to click from one to the next address to rematch, please make it possible to type in the number of the rematch address I need to go to. The current tool only allows a forward or backward arrow to proceed one address at a time. If there was a way to click on the number and type in my desired rematch record, that would greatly improve the efficiency in which I can complete this task. So instead of going from record 1 to record 2 to record 3 etc. I could jump to record 55 or 100 or 1200 without having to click through all the other records that I do not need to look at right now. The attached image has a red box around the area that I am referring to.
I think this would help with any workflow that requires geocoding addresses, rematching those addresses and having to skip numerous records for any reason during the process.
