Task 2: Creating Individual Address Locators Address locators will be created for each reference dataset in this task. 1. Save the ArcMap document, close ArcMap, and start ArcCatalog. Navigate to \Lakewood\ SHPFiles\StatePlane and preview the tables and geography for the shapefiles. The file name for each reference file begins with the letters GC and a numeric code that indicates that file’s geocoding sequence. 2. In the ArcCatalog tree, right-click the \Lakewood\SHPFiles\StatePlane folder and select New > Address Locator. Specify Single Field as the Address Locator Style and click OK. 3. In the New Single Field Address Locator dialog box, enter 1_Parcel_Single_Field as the Address Locator name. On the Primary table tab, set Reference data to \GC1_Parcel.shp and set SITE_FULL as the Key Field. In the Input Address Fields area, delete Name from the field under is Recognized if it is named and add Address2. Set all scores and sensitivities to 100. 4. Under Output options, uncheck the box next to Match if candidates tie. It is essential to uncheck this box because all ties (based on duplicate addresses) will be bumped to the City Streets locator. Click OK to build the
Name Address Locator Selection Criteria: Blank
1_Parcel_Single_Field locator. 5. Build the 2_City_US_Streets geocoding service by right-clicking the \Lakewood\ SHPFiles\StatePlane folder and creating a second address locator. Use Tables 1 and 2 as guides when creating this locator. Name this address locator 2_City_US_Streets. Set \GC2_City_Street.shp as the reference set, and define reference fields using the same parameters as 1_Parcel_Single_Field locator. This time, using the information in Table 1, specify fields for numerics, direction, and type. Although many addresses will automatically match, don’t forget to make sure STYPE is chosen for the Street Type field. If a required field is accidentally omitted when creating a locator, delete the locator and rebuild it. Set only Address2 as the recognized field and set spelling and scores to 80, 60, and 80. Accept the Connectors defaults and leave other choices unchanged. Click OK to build this locator. 6. Next, build the 3_TIGER_US_Street geocoding service using parameters in Tables 1 and 2. This locator is similar to the 2_City_ US_Streets locator. Because the new TIGER codes are not consistent with earlier systems, the field names will not assign automatically, so carefully assign fields as shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Fields for U.S. Streets Address Locators Task 3: Building a Composite Address Locator The three individual address locators just created are now linked together in a composite address locator. A composite locator links two or more other address locators together in a hierarchical order Continued on page 50
