Input

Route takes route points, which include starting and ending latitudes and longitudes as input. The table below provides information about the format and layout of the input. This tab has the input fields required for the stage.

Section	Field Name	Description
*Start Point*		Either specify the Start Point as the name of an existing geometry field or create a point from a pair of X/Y field names. The Geometry and X/Y fields are mutually exclusive (you need to choose one or the other).
	Geometry	Select the geometry field name to be used as Start Point. By default, startGeometry name is configured. If the Geometry radio button is selected, the startGeometry field name will automatically be available as the input from previous stage and you can provide the value for this to be used.
	Longitude/Latitude (X/Y)	Select the Longitude (X) and Latitude (Y) fields to be used to construct the Start Point. The drop-down lists contain the names of all the fields of type string and numeric. By default the name startx is configured for the Longitude (X) field and the name starty for the Latitude (Y) field. If the Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) radio button is selected, the startx and starty field names will automatically be available as the input from previous stage and you can provide the value for this to be used. The type of startx and starty field names will be of type string. By default, the coordinate system for Start Point is set to WGS84. If required, change the coordinate system to match the input X and Y fields. You can also provide the coordinate system from previous input stage with name startcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, will override the value present in the input tab. For more information about EPSG codes, see www.spatialreference.org. To retrieve a list of supported codespaces for EPSG, you can submit the SOAP request List Supported CoordSys by Code Space from the Geometry Service Demo page at http://<server>:<port>/Spatial/GeometryService/DemoPage.html.
*End Point*		Either specify the End Point as the name of an existing geometry field or create a point from a pair of X/Y field names. The Geometry and X/Y fields are mutually exclusive (you need to choose one or the other).
	Geometry	Select the geometry field name to be used as End Point. By default, the name endGeometry is configured. If the Geometry radio button is selected, endGeometry field name will automatically be available as the input from previous stage and you can provide the value for this to be used.
	Longitude/Latitude (X/Y)	Select the Longitude (X) and Latitude (Y) fields to be used to construct the End Point. The drop-down lists contain names of all the fields of type string and numeric. By default, the name endx is configured for the Longitude (X) field and endy for the Latitude (Y) field. If the Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) radio button is selected, the endx and endy field names will automatically be available as an input from the previous stage. You can also provide the coordinate system from the previous input stage with the name endcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, will override the value present in the Input tab. By default, the coordinate system for Start Point is set to WGS84. If required, change the coordinate system to match the input X and Y fields. You can also provide the coordinate system from previous input stage with name endcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, will override the value present in the Input tab. For more information about EPSG codes, see www.spatialreference.org. To retrieve a list of supported codespaces for EPSG, you can submit the SOAP request List Supported CoordSys by Code Space from the Geometry Service Demo page at http://<server>:<port>/Spatial/GeometryService/DemoPage.html.
Intermediate Points		In this MultiPoint Geometry, the user can give multiple points, which can be used as Intermediate Points between a start point and an end point.
	MultiPoint Geometry	Select the Multipoint geometry field name to be used as Intermediate Points. By default, the name intermediatePointsGeometry is configured. If the MutiPoint Geometry checkbox is selected, intermediatePointsGeometry field name will be exposed automatically in the input from previous stage and you can provide the value for this to be used.

Input from Previous Stage
