Option

Description

Use as geocoding table

Allows you to specify that a table should/may be used as a geocoding table.

Allow automatic download

Specifies that the data may be automatically downloaded to be used for geocoding other data tables.

Clear the check box for large data tables to avoid large files from being automatically downloaded.

If geocoding tables are not automatically downloaded they may still be added at a later stage from the Positioning or Geocoding page for the map chart layer in question.

Hierarchy name

The name of the geocoding hierarchy the data table belongs to.

Hierarchy priority

The priority of the hierarchy.

If more than one hierarchy can be used for geographical matching, then the hierarchy with the highest priority is used for automatic matching.

Version

The version (date) of the data table, specified in the format YYYYMMDD.

Geocoding columns

Lists a read-only representation of the geocoding columns included in the data.

The geocoding properties may be set on the columns in TIBCO Spotfire prior to exporting the data file to the library.
