The Gazetteer Management Settings window allows you to set up all parameters of the system.

Gazetteer Defaults

This tab allows you to set up the general information about your organization and data custodian which will be transferred to GeoPlace by DTF metadata.

This tab also contains the following tools:

  • Localities And Towns - this tool allows users to edit the list of Localities, Towns and Post Towns. It has been automatically pre-defined based on the source data during deployment so you might only have to use it if you need to add a new locality, town, or post town.
  • User Password - this tool provides the possibility for the individual users to change their password at will.

Street Gazetteer Defaults

This tab allows you to set up the general information about the Local Street Gazetteer data custodian which will be transferred to GeoPlace by DTF metadata.

UI Settings 

This tab allows you to control how the User Interface works.

  • Query tolerance in pixels - this parameter controls the radius of the active area around your mouse cursor when inspecting records
  • Panel open at startup - controls which side pane will be opened when you log into the application
  • Table open at startup - controls if the table pane underneath the map view ought to be open when you log into the application
  • New Street USRN - controls whether the New Street USRN is editable or not
  • Hide parishes - hides the Parish field during the editing or creating a new address
  • Hide town name - hides the option to switch between town and locality while editing or creating a new address
  • Startup Viewport - allows you to set up at which location and at what zoom level the map will open when you log into the application. You can either manually type in the X and Y of the map centre as well as the scale or you can pan and zoom the map to the desired location and then click "Use current viewport" button.

USRN and UPRN Ranges

Here you can set up the UPRN and USRN allocated ranges. You can also learn what the next UPRN and USRN numbers will be or set them manually.

XRef Sources

Here you can configure the sources of cross-reference information that you will be using adding to the BLPU records. You can add new sources to the bottom of the list.

  • Id - a two-character abbreviation of the data source
  • Source - the description of the source which will be visible on the list when you add XRef information to an address record (see screenshot below)
  • Capture - a drop-down field which allows you to control how the GMS application behaves when XRef information is added:
    • Mandatory - information from this source must be provided
    • Optional - add this information where available
    • Ignored - this data source is ignored and not displayed on the list of available data sources

             

Installation Routines

This tab consists of a few configuration functions which are used after initial data upload to refresh various application internal counters and align them with the imported data. These functions are invoked by StatMap staff after the initial data load. 



  • Assign Wards - this tool allows you to automatically assign wards to properties
  • Assign Parishes - this tool allows you to automatically assign parishes to properties
  • Assign Provenances - this tool allows you to automatically assign Land Registry polygons to properties that are missing provenance records. It can also add Unmatched circle in radius, an unofficial disk of configurable radius, to properties which don't have provenance records associated with them and there is no intersection between their geometry and any Land Registry record

  • Force full address save - allows you to force re-saving the entire address record during the next editing session. To learn how to use this functionality please visit Force full address save guide page.
