Settings

Allows you to limit the number of returned records as well as include distance to edge, count, and index fields to the output.

Table 1. Point In Polygon (Deprecated) Settings
Output Option Description
Limit the number of returned records

By default this option is selected with a default value of 1. If it is not selected, this means if there is a point that intersects more than one polygon then all the records are returned.

Include distance to edge

This option is useful when you need to know how close a point is to the edge of a polygon.

Distance to edge field - the name of the output field that will hold the distance to edge. Represents the shortest distance from an input point to the edge of the returned record. Because the point is always inside the polygon, the distance to edge is a positive value from the input point to the border of the returned record (a polygon).

Distance unit field - the name of the output field that will hold the distance unit.

Distance unit - Represents the unit of measure of the returned distance (miles, centimeters, feet, inches, kilometers, meters, or yards).

Include count and index

This option is useful when you have many records being returned and need to identify different records from each other.

Count field - the name of the output field that contains the total number of records returned for each input.

Index field - indicates the current record’s order in the total count.

For example, "1 of 5" has a count of 5 and an index of 1.
