Glossary Item Box

The ArcGIS Mapping Locators list specifies the locator services that are available for use by ArcGIS Mapping. The service endpoints specified by this list are used by the ArcGIS Geocoding Workflow to lookup locations for list items when they do not yet have a location or when their address has been changed.

The list's columns are described in the table below:

Column Description
Title The identifier for the locator service list item.
Display Name Determines the display name of the service when shown while configuring the ArcGIS Geocoding Workflow or Location Field.
Locator Type The type of the locator service.  Supported locator types are ArcGIS Server and Bing Maps.
URL URL to the REST endpoint for the locator service.
Is Default Determines if the item is the default locator when configuring the ArcGIS Geocoding Workflow (only one can be true).
