Create Composite Address Locator
Creates a composite
address locator. A composite address locator consists of two or more individual
address locators that allow addresses to be matched against the multiple
address locators.
Locators should be
stored in a file folder so you take advantage of new features that are not
supported for locators stored in geodatabases, such as performance
improvements, multithreading capabilities, and suggestions support. ArcGIS 10.4
is the last release to support storing locators in geodatabases.
1. Address Locators
The order of the
participating address locators determines how candidates are searched and an
address is matched. When you geocode a single address, the address will be
matched against all participating address locators unless the locator is
specified with a selection criterion. All the found candidates will be displayed
based on the order of the listed participating address locators.
If you geocode
a table of addresses, addresses are matched automatically to the first best
candidate found from the first participating address locators. If the address
fails to match, it will fall back to the subsequent locator in the list.
A reference name for
each participating address locator is required. This is the name of the address
locator referred to by the composite address locator. The name should contain
no space or special symbols. The maximum length of the name is 14 characters.
2. Field Map
The mapping of input
fields used by each participating address locator to the input fields of the
composite address locator.
3. Selection Criteria (optional)
Selection criteria for
each participating address locator. Only one selection criterion is supported
for each participating address locator.
When building a
composite address locator, you may wish to specify which address locators are
used based on the values of input address fields. For example, if your
composite address locator uses an address locator that contains street data for
a specific city,
you may want to filter
out any addresses that do not have that particular city name. Using selection
criteria will disqualify participating address locators that do not meet the
criteria on a particular address so that the geocoding process will be more
efficient. For instance, if a street address locator is specified with a
selection criterion as "City" = 'Atlanta', only addresses that contain
the city name "Atlanta" will be geocoded against this locator.
4. Output Composite Address Locator
The composite address
locator to create.
Geocode Addresses

Addresses Tool, Geocoding Tools Toolbox
Geocode Addresses
Geocodes a table of
addresses. This process requires a table that stores the addresses you want to
geocode and an address locator or a composite address locator.
This tool matches the
addresses against the address locator and saves the result for each input
record in a new point feature class. When using the ArcGIS World Geocoding
Service, this operation may consume credits.
1. Input Table
The table of addresses
to geocode
2. Input Address Locator
The address locator to use to geocode the table of addresses.
Locators should be stored in a file folder so you take advantage
of new features that are not supported for locators stored in geodatabases,
such as performance improvements, multithreading capabilities, and suggestions
support. ArcGIS 10.4 is the last release to support storing locators in
geodatabases.
3. Input Address Fields
Maps address fields used
by the address locator to fields in the input table of addresses. Select Single
Field if the complete address is stored in one field in the input table, for
example, 303 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308. Select Multiple Fields if the
input addresses are split into multiple fields such as Address, City, State,
and ZIP for a general United States address.
Some locators support
multiple input addresses fields, such as Address, Address2, and Address3. In
this case, the address component can be separated into multiple fields, and the
address fields will be concatenated together at the time of geocoding.
For
example, 100, Main St, and Apt 140 across three fields, or 100 Main St and Apt
140 across two fields, would both become 100 Main St Apt 140 when geocoding.
Only multiple fields are
supported using locators created prior to ArcGIS 10.
4. Output Feature Class
The output geocoded
feature class or shapefile.
5. Dynamic Output Feature Class (optional)
Indicates whether to create a static copy of the address table inside the geocoded feature class or to create a dynamically updated geocoded feature class.
- Unchecked—Creates a static copy of the fields input address table in the output feature class. This is the default.
- Checked—Creates a relationship class between the input address table and output feature class so that edits to the addresses in the input address table are automatically updated in the output feature class. This option is available only if the input address table and output feature class are in the same geodatabase workspace.
This option is only available if you have an ArcGIS Desktop
Standard or Desktop Advanced licence.
6. Country (optional)
Geocoding will be
limited to the selected countries. When no country is used, geocoding will be
performed against all supported countries. Making a country selection will
improve the accuracy of geocoding in most cases.
If a field representing
countries is in the Input Table and is mapped to the CountryCode Input Address
Field, the country value from the Input Table will override the Country
parameter. The input value should be specified as ISO 3166-1 3-character
country codes.
This parameter is not
supported for all locators.
7. Preferred Location Type (optional)
Specifies the preferred
output geometry for PointAddress matches. The options are the street side
location, which can be used for routing, or the rooftop or parcel centroid for
the address. If the preferred location does not exist in the data, the default
location will be returned instead. For geocode results with
Addr_type=PointAddress, the X,Y attribute values describe the coordinates of
the address along the street, while the DisplayX and DisplayY values describe
the rooftop, or building centroid, coordinates.
This parameter is not supported for all locators.
- ADDRESS_LOCATION—Returns geometry for geocode results that could represent an address location such as rooftop location, parcel centroid, or front door.
- ROUTING_LOCATION—Returns geometry for geocode results that represents a location close to the side of the street. This is the default.
Rebuild Address Locator

Address Locator Tool, Geocoding Tools Toolbox
Rebuild Address Locator
Rebuilds an address
locator to update the locator with the current reference data. Since an address
locator contains a snapshot of the reference data when it was created, it will
not geocode addresses against the updated data when the geometry and attributes
of the reference data are changed. To geocode addresses against the current
version of the reference data, the address locator must be rebuilt if you want
to update the changes in the locator.
1. Input Address Locator
The address locator to
rebuild.

Rematch Addresses
Rematches addresses in a
geocoded feature class.
1. Input Feature Class
The geocoded feature
class you want to rematch.
2. Where Clause (optional)
An SQL expression used to select a subset of features.
