Geocoding Setup

The Lucity Web Map can locate and identify addresses using a geocoding service. An agency may use its own geocoding service or one provided by ESRI.

The Geocoding service used by the various applications is different depending on how your system is setup

Integrated with Portal for ArcGIS

If you are integrated with Portal for ArcGIS the webmap will automatically use the Geocoding service listed in Portal as the default geocoding service.

Not Integrated with Portal for ArcGIS

If you are not integrated with Portal for ArcGIS the webmap will use the default geocoding service listed in Lucity.

How To Configure Lucity To Use a Geocoding Service

1. Collect the REST URL for the geocoding service.

   For Arc 10.x

   1. Log into Arc Server Manager and click on Services > Manage Services.

      

   2. Locate the service you wish to use and click on it to view its properties.
   3. Click the Capabilities button.
   4. Copy down the REST URL, which should have a path similar to:
      • Map Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer
      • Feature Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/FeatureServer
      • Geocoding Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeocodeServer
      • Geometry Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeometryServer
      • Routing Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/RoutingServer
   5. If collecting information for the map service that contains your operational data, click on the REST URL. A page containing the properties of the map service appears.
   6. Scroll down and copy down the Spatial Reference Number. (Do this only for the layer that contains Lucity data.)

      Note: If text appears in the Spatial Reference field, rather than numerals, use the closest matching Spatial Reference Number from the following lists: Projected Coordinate Systems Geographic Coordinate Systems

2. In the Lucity Administration Tool, go to GIS > GIS Services and select the Utility Services tab .
3. In the Geocoding Services grid, click Add Geocoding Service... A new record appears in the grid.
4. Enter a unique Name for the geocoding service.
5. Provide the REST URL for the geocoding service.
6. Complete other fields as desired.
7. In the Default Geocoding Service drop-down box below the grid, select which service the Lucity Web and Lucity Mobile maps should use by default.
8. Click the Save... button below the grid.
