Customizing a Geocoding Configuration

Customizing a geocoding configuration involves modifying the configuration’s properties in the sample JSON files. The JSON files utilize two property types:

  • Build-time properties are used during both data creation and geocoding.
  • Run-time properties are applicable only during geocoding.
Note: A custom geocoding configuration only applies to a specific dataset. It does not affect the geocoding behavior of other datasets. If you haven't created a configuration yet (JSON file), see createConfig in the Custom Dataset Builder Commands.

To customize a geocoding configuration:

  1. Open the JSON file you want to edit in a text file editor.
  2. Modify the necessary property key values.
  3. Close the file.
Review the following sets of properties for potential customization in a dataset's JSON file.
