      - Geocoding Options
        This table lists the options that control how a location's coordinates are determined.
      - Matching Options
        Matching options are used to determine how address searches are performed. They let you set match preferences, criteria and restrictions, and multiple match settings so that the matching can be as strict or relaxed as you need.
      - Data Options
        The Data tab allows you to specify which databases to use in geocoding. Databases contain the address and geocode data necessary to determine the geocode for a given address. There are two kinds of databases: standard databases and custom databases. Standard databases are those supplied by Precisely and based on address and geocoding data from postal authorities and suppliers of geographical data. Custom databases are databases you create to enhance or augment standard databases for your particular needs. For Australian geocoding, to achieve the best geocoding spatial precision use the G-NAF database. This provides point-level geocoding that places points within the land parcel boundary for a given address. The G-NAF database requires an additional license. Contact your sales representative for more information. This table lists the options available for specifying which databases to use and the search order of databases.

Multi-matches


Parameter	Description
CloseMatchesOnly	Specifies whether to return only those geocoded results that are close match candidates. For example, if there are 10 candidates and two of them are close candidates, and you enable this option, only the two close matching candidates would be returned instead of all 10. Legal values: Y = Yes, N = No Default value: Y= Yes
KeepMultimatch	Specifies whether to return results when the address matches to multiple candidates in the database. If this option is not selected, an address that results in multiple candidates will fail to geocode. If you select this option, specify the maximum number of candidates to return next to the check box. Legal values: Y = Yes, N = No Default value: Y= Yes
