Defining Geographic Types
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).
To define geographic types, open Admin Menu > Geographic Type .
Note Find a customer / premise using a geographic coordinate. In Oracle Utilities Customer Care and
Billing there are several queries that allow you to search for customers and premises by geographic type. For
example, Control Central and Meter Search allow you to search using the premise or service point geographic
type. Refer to the product documentation for more information.
Description of Page
Enter an easily recognizable Geographic Type code and Description.
Define the algorithm used to validate the Validation Format Algorithm. If an algorithm is specified, the system
will 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.
