The first option is to choose the Point table you want to allocate. Then you need to decide what actions you want to do.

 

The first is to get the reference column from the road network table and put it into you point table. eg a street name.

 

Column to update

This is a column in your point table

 

Reference column

This is a column in the network table.

 

You can validate the points so they are only updated if one column in the network table matches that in the point table being used. Eg the street names have to be the same.

 

Check this column from the point table

Use this column in your point table as a reference to check the link in you network table.

 

Has the same value as this column from the network table

This is a column in your network table - it will be checked against the point being allocated. If the references are the same the columns will be updated.

 

Move Point to nearest link

By checking this option the point will be updated with the new coordinates of the nearest point on the link.

 

Add distance to table

This option will add the "DisttoNetwork_km" or "DisttoNetwork_Mi" column to the point table indicating the distance of that point to the nearest link on the network. If the column does not exist then you will be prompted to add it.

 

AddDistColumn

 

 

Add side of the road

This option will add "SideofRoad" to the point table. If the column does not exist then you will be prompted to add it.

0 =  Right side of the road

1 =  Left side of the road
