Setting Global Defaults in Enterprise Designer

Entering global default values

The following instructions explain how to enter global default values in Enterprise Designer. In many cases, entering the global default values is a matter of accepting the existing default values. Remember that any options you set in Enterprise Designer are specific to that one instance of the Global Geocoding stage and override the settings made in Management Console.

  1. Start Enterprise Designer.
  2. In the Tasks panel, select the new type of dataflow you want to create. You can also open an existing dataflow to make changes.
  3. From the Stages listing in the Palette panel, select the Global Geocode stage icon and drag it into the New Dataflow panel.
  4. Double click the stage icon to open the Global Geocode Options window.
  5. In the Filters panel, click Global Defaults.
  6. Click the arrow to open the category in which you want to enter a global default.

    Depending on the category you choose, there are several settings you can select and enable. You can select the multiple choice options in the dropdown controls and you can enable other options by using the checkboxes. There are also some fields for which you can manually enter a value.

  7. When you are finished making your choices, click the OK button and then click the Save button to save your dataflow.
