Distance to Assets

Create Point Features from Assets and Bases Tables

The first step is to turn your CSV files into point feature classes by geocoding the addresses. The 1 Geocode Assets and Bases tool will do this. If you have an ArcGIS Online Organization account, you can log in to ArcGIS Online from ArcMap and use the ArcGIS Online geocoder. If you have a local set of streets data and an address locator, you can use the local geocoder.

  1. In ArcMap, navigate to the template location in the Catalog Tree.
  2. Expand the Distance to Assets toolbox.
  3. Run the 1 Geocode Assets and Bases tool.
  4. Select your chosen address locator within the drop down menu for Input Geocoder.
  5. Specify the New Assets file to be used for geocoding.
  6. Choose the input location fields for the assets table. You need to match the fields the geocoder expects to the fields in your data. The sample data should match the Street_Addresses_US address locator and the ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service automatically.
  7. Choose an output location for your geocoded assets data. The output will be a feature class.
  8. Specify the New Bases file to be used for geocoding.
  9. Choose the input location fields for the bases table. You need to match the fields the geocoder expects to the fields in your data. The sample data should match the Street_Addresses_US address locator and the ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service automatically.
  10. Choose an output location for your geocoded bases data. The output will be a feature class.
  11. Click OK to run the model.
