Views can be configured for your organization and used by any apps that support GeoSearch, such as Map Viewer, Configurable apps, ArcGIS Explorer, and so on. Additionally, views can also be used for Batch Geocoding.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to releasing the Locator Views capability, users might get false-positive (unreliable) results or incorrect candidates that weren\u2019t exactly matching to their category of interest (e.g. Airports only).\u00a0 On the other hand, some users required geocoding only at the highest location accuracy (e.g. Address level) and didn\u2019t want results at the postal or city level.\u00a0 The Locator Views capability that we recently released as part of ArcGIS Online this September aims to solve these challenges by limiting the search to the Point of Interest category or precision in the geographic extent that the user requires.\u00a0 This helps reduce incorrect results and focuses the search on the area, POI category, and precision of interest to deliver reliable results.\u00a0 Let us walk you through that in <strong>5 easy steps <\/strong>on how this works through a case scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Assume I\u2019m a user in the aviation industry interested in locating just Airports in the USA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1 \u2013 Create a Locator View<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Navigate to your My Content Tab, and create a new \u201cLocator (view)\u201d Item.\u00a0\u00a0 Fill in the relevant details for the locator view that you want to create to filter your geocoding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/CreateNewLocatorView.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87637 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/CreateNewLocatorView.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"394\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2 \u2013 Define the Locator View <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Configure your Locator View to search for only specific types of locations within the area you\u2019re interested in using the settings page for the Locator View item you just created.<\/p>\n<p>You can protect the Locator View item from accidentally being deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you can define the types of locations you want to find, whether it is 1) Addresses, Postal Codes, or Populated Places, 2) Coordinates (e.g. MGRS, USNG), or 3) Places of Interest (e.g. Education, Food, Airport).\u00a0 A complete listing of supported categories and coordinates are provided in the documentation: <a href=\"http:\/\/arcg.is\/2wigsR3\">http:\/\/arcg.is\/2wigsR3<\/a>.\u00a0 In this scenario, I will select \u2018Airport\u2019 for our Locator View.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DefinetheLocatorView.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87639 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DefinetheLocatorView-1024x660.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"588\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Within Settings page, you can define where you want to search for the location type you\u2019ve selected.\u00a0 You can select Anywhere in the World, limited to Select Countries, or define a specific area of interest based on a rectangular extent that you define.\u00a0 I will select the country mode and choose \u2018United States\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AOISetting.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-87640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AOISetting-1024x591.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, click the save button to update the Locator View item with the settings you\u2019ve selected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3 \u2013 Share the item with your organization <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proceed to the Overview page of the Locator View item and click on the Share button on the right side of the page.\u00a0 You can share this view with your organization.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you can select whether you\u2019d like to share access to the locator with your organization only or share with public.\u00a0 Keep in mind that anonymous users won\u2019t be able to access the organization\u2019s shared locators so if you\u2019re concerned about the locator being used by anonymous users, you can restrict the locator\u2019s use to only within your organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4 \u2013 Configure it for use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once it is shared, have your administrator go to the Organization tab, and select Edit Settings, and under the Utility Services menu.\u00a0 The admin can add the USA Airport Locator view that you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n<p>In this step, the administrator can also limit this locator for GeoSearch only or configure it to allow both, GeoSearch and Batch Geocoding.\u00a0 This is especially important for administrators that want to limit the batch geocoding operation as it consumes service credits, while the GeoSearch does not consume any.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that with batch geocoding, the same service credit rates apply regardless of whether you are batch geocoding through the locator views or through the Online World Geocoding service.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AddLocator.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-87641\"

Locator View on top of the Esri World Geocoder or after it.\u00a0 The benefit of putting it before the Esri World Geocoder is that your search requests will locate to airports first and then through the Esri World Geocoder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AddLocatorHierarchy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

Begin using it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your new locator view is all set up.\u00a0 Open the map viewer and select the drop down button in the search pane to bring up the locators you want to search against.\u00a0 You can select the newly created Locator View, \u201cUSA Airport Locator\u201d to limit your searches to USA airports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LocatorSelectSearchBar1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-87680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LocatorSelectSearchBar1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, it is worth pointing out that once the admin configures your newly created locator view in the utility service settings, the locator is available for use in any ArcGIS application that uses the organization\u2019s locators configured in the utility services settings.\u00a0 For example, a user using ArcGIS Maps for Office will be able to geocode against the locator view you\u2019ve created to geocode their airport codes in Excel.<\/p>\n<p>Happy airport searching!\u00a0 Try searching for \u2018LAX\u2019 and an international airport such as &#8216;CDG&#8217; and you\u2019ll notice that only airports in the USA are found with the Locator View you created.<\/p>\n<p>For a link to the full documentation on this feature or for the listing of supported categories, please visit <a
