15.2.1 Selecting Items for Server-side Geocoding

When doing server-side geocoding, select item types appropriate to the context. For example, with the:

• native workflow activity – use Additional Data columns, parameters, or workflow variables,
• native page process – use page items or application items, and
• native automation action type – use query columns or application items.

Tip:

Automation actions use bind variables to reference column values of the current query row they are processing. You can assign values to the bind variables, too. These column items can not only supply address values to geocode but also be the Coordinates Item to receive the result. Subsequent actions can "see" updated row values, but they are not permanently stored anywhere.
