The Geocode Locations from Table tool matches locations to addresses in a table or file and outputs the locations in a file or feature service.
Data
The Geocode Locations from Table tool requires at least one table or file. If you do not have any tables, .csv files, or .xls files in your organization, the tool will be unavailable.
Only files and tables in My content can be inputs to the Geocode Locations from Table tool.
Configure locators
For a locator to appear in the list of available locators, the locator must be configured for batch geocoding. The locator should be configured as follows:
- The locator must be a portal utility service.
- The locator should have the numThreads property properly configured on the locator service. The numThreads property is not required but may speed up the analysis job.
ArcGIS World Geocoding Service
Credits are only charged if you use ArcGIS World Geocoding Service as the locator. Although the locator service only charges credits for matched addresses, the analysis job will not begin until you have more credits than the maximum number of credits a job might consume (assuming all matched addresses).
Troubleshooting
The Failed to retrieve information from this locator message appears when the chosen locator is not available. A locator may become unavailable if any of the following take place after the locator is chosen but before the tool is run:
- The locator is disconnected. In this case, the Geocode utility service may have been turned off. Contact your ArcGIS administrator to turn the Geocode utility service back on.
- The locator has been updated and cannot be used in the tool. In this case, the locator may have been updated while the Geocode Locations from Table tool pane is open. Close and reopen the Geocode Locations from Table tool to reload the locators.
- The locator has been deleted. Contact your ArcGIS administrator to reconfigure the locator.
