Addresses (both incident and destination) are color-coded to represent the quality of geocoding information, in the following way:
| Tan-Brown | The address geocoded at a low quality. This means that when Ranger called Google to geocode the address, Google returned an address that did NOT match the submitted address exactly. Note that this might only mean differences such as: Submitted by Ranger: 123 Main Circle Returned by Google:123 Main Cir Submitted by Ranger: 456 West 1st Returned by Google: 456 W 1st |
| Blue | The address is geocoded at a high quality, but is not confirmed by the user. This means that when Ranger called Google to geocode the address, Google returned an address that matched the submitted address exactly. However, the user has not used the advanced address options in DispatchDirect or the map to geocode and save the address. |
| Green | The address has been confirmed by the user. This can be done two ways - In DispatchDirect by opening a job in the Job Entry tab, expanding the Advanced options… section in the appropriate address section, and clicking on the Lookup on map button. If the user opens the map, manipulates addresses, clicks the OK - Replace address info button, and ultimately saves the job, the addresses will be set to a quality of confirmed.- On the map, on the Address Lookup / Job Position Update tab, select a job. One or two pins will be placed on the map. If the user manipulates an address and chooses to update it, the quality of the address will be set to confirmed. |
| Red | Not geocoded. |
| Column header | Values |
