If your company uses geographic coordinates for dispatching or geographic information system integration, you need to setup a geographic (coordinate) type for each type of geographic coordinate you capture on your premises and/or service points (geographic coordinates can be defined on both premises and service points).

Note: Product specific. There is no framework functionality that uses this information. Refer to your specific product documentation to verify how this table is used in your specific product. In addition, you can determine if this object is a foreign key on any tables specific to your product. Navigate to the Table page in the application, search for and select the Geographic Type table and use the Relationships tab to view this information.

To define geographic types, open Admin > Geographic > Geographic Type.

The Validation Format Algorithm, if specified, is used to validate that the geographic location entered on the premise and/or service point for the geographic type is in the format as defined in the algorithm. If you require validation, you must set up this algorithm in the system.
