Configuring Locators
The ArcGIS Mapping Locators list specifies the locator services that are available for use by ArcGIS for SharePoint. The service endpoints specified by this list are used by the ArcGIS Geocoding workflow to look up 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. |
