Set geocoding configuration parameters in ClaimCenter

To enable geocoding features in the ClaimCenter user interface, you must set parameters in the config.xml file.

Before you begin

Complete Enable and use the Geocoding plugin.

About this task

If you have ContactManager integrated with ClaimCenter, you must consider both applications when you set some of these configuration parameters.

Procedure

  1. Open Guidewire Studio™ for ClaimCenter.
  2. In the Project window, navigate to configuration > config.
  3. Double-click config.xml to open this file in an editor.
  4. In the editor, press Ctrl+F and then enter Geocoding to find that section of the configuration parameters.
  5. Set the following parameters to enable geocoding.

    Parameter

    Description

    UseGeocodingInPrimaryApp

    Set this parameter to true to enable geographical data and proximity search on application screens in ClaimCenter. The setting affects screens like Assignment and User search windows. This parameter must be true to perform assignment by proximity. The default setting is false.

    UseGeocodingInAddressBook

    Set this parameter to true to enable geocoding on ClaimCenter Address Book screens if ClaimCenter is integrated with ContactManager. The default setting is false.

    UseMetricDistancesByDefault

    Use kilometers in the user interface. The default setting, false, specifies that miles are to be used.

    ProximitySearchOrdinalMaxDistance

    A distance that provides an approximate bound to improve performance of an ordinal (nearest n) proximity search. The search can return results that are farther away than the distance specified.

    The default setting is 300. The actual unit value of the distance is miles or kilometers depending on how you have set UseMetricDistancesByDefault.

    The setting for this parameter must be the same in ContactManager and ClaimCenter.

    This parameter has no effect on radius (within n miles or kilometers) proximity searches or walking-the-group-tree-based proximity assignment.

    ProximityRadiusSearchDefaultMaxResultCount

    Maximum number of results to return when performing a radius (n miles or kilometers) search from ClaimCenter.

    • ClaimCenter passes the value of this parameter to ContactManager when it makes a call for a proximity search.
    • The default value in the base configuration is 1000.
    • This parameter has no effect on ordinal (nearest n) proximity searches.
    • This parameter applies only to searches originating from ClaimCenter and does not have to match the value of the corresponding parameter in the ContactManager config.xml file.
