About this task
In this example, you request the closest auto repair shops within 25 miles of San Mateo, California, USA.
Procedure
- Log in to ClaimCenter.
- Click the Address Book tab.
-
On the Search Address Book screen, choose the following settings:
Type Auto Repair Shop Search Radius 25 miles City (under Search Radius) San Mateo ZIP Code 94404 - Click Search.
- ClaimCenter determines the center of the proximity search by synchronously geocoding this one address.
- The system applies any filters that you set in the search. For example, if under Location you set the City to Burlingame and the State to California, the search eliminates every address that does not have a city set to Burlingame. Any address without a latitude and longitude is not considered.
- ClaimCenter calculates the distance of the remaining results from the search center. If you limited the range as shown previously, ClaimCenter discards any results that are too far away.
- ClaimCenter sorts the remaining results in ascending order of proximity, from closest to farthest away, and returns them in the Search Results.
