ADDRESS

Quick address search

Use the Quick address search  tool in the toolbar to locate addresses on the map. For example, if you want to view a cable located on a specific street, you can go to the location in question by using the quick address search and locate the address by clicking the Locate  button. Enter the complete address in the text field or select it from the list of search results.

You can also update multiple objects at the same time by using object-specific forms. More information on mass updates is provided in the chapter Mass update of addresses.

It is usually enough if you enter four characters in the text field, as the addresses matching the search criteria are listed below the search field. However, Quick address search supports "," a comma when you need to separate the street name and the street number from each other. For example, the database might have an address named "Calle 27 471" with the street name "Calle 27" and the street number "471". If you only type "Calle 27" in the search box, address search will find you all the streets named "Calle" with a street number "27" like in a normal search.

You can browse through the pages using the arrow buttons, go directly to the first or last page, or enter the page number in the Page field. Select the required address using the left mouse button. Click Address  to open the form used for editing the address. Note that the Address  tool does not list addresses that have no location attached. Such addresses can be searched on the actual address form (Address ).

Click Services to view a list of the services related to the address with the following options:

If an address belongs to some service area, the services provided by the area are listed. If an address is the address of telecom premises, the services provided by the telecom premises in question are listed. If an address is the installation address of a circuit, the services provided by all the telecom premises in the connection chain are listed. If an address is related to a service, the services are listed.

The Service address premises function retrieves all the telecom premises to the form with device services to which the address in question has been connected. Use the arrow buttons  on the telecom premises form to browse through the results.

Address search in the database

In addition, you can use the Address  tool to search, locate and update address information and add new addresses. When you click the button, the Address form is displayed. On this form, enter the address you want to search and click Search  to have the program search the database for addresses matching the search criteria.

Alternatively, you can use the Pick from map  tool and its functions to search for an address. Your application may include the Existing area option, which enables addresses to be searched in existing areas, such as a service area (maximum number of address lines is 100,000).  

You can use all the fields on the form as search criteria. For example, a search based on a city will return all the addresses in that city as search results. You can use % as a wild card character that replaces a part of a search term. In this case, the search results include all addresses matching the text that precedes the % character. You can limit the number of search results by selecting the Exclude Digiroad checkbox. The Digiroad material is then not available, and only addresses added in KeyCom are retrieved to the form. The number of results fulfilling the search criteria is displayed in the bottom left corner of the form. Use the arrow buttons  to browse through the search results. Click Locate  to center the map on the address you found.

TIP: You can import the address you found to an object form that includes the Update to form  button applicable to the Address form.

Adding an address to the database

If an address is not yet in the database, and you want to add it there, use the Address  form to create an address. Street and City are mandatory property attributes.

Alternatively, you can click Save  to create the address.
