GeoCoding Module
The ATS Geocoding module allows organizations to add functionality to their iMIS external websites to search for
members based upon address information that is input by a user. The module will send the information to Google Maps
and provide a visual representation of member or office locations. In addition, the module uses iMIS’ Name_Picture
table to include pictures in the results set on Google Maps. This module adds value to the iMIS product by allowing
members to simply drop a .NET control onto their iMIS home pages and instantly allow their members to utilize this new
functionality. Any organization whose external users conduct searches from their website to return address locations of
their members can utilize this module.
The Geocoding module uses a custom demographic in iMIS to capture the latitude and longitude of an address.
Once an individual conducts a search, the module will first determine if the latitude and longitude exists for
an address and will use the saved information if it exists. If the latitude and longitude information is not available,
the module will use Google to get the latitude and longitude and store the information in the custom demographic once it
has the information. Therefore, the database is self populating and will not require user input to return accurate results.
In addition, this module can be used by iMIS users internally to return a visual representation of member locations in
an iMIS database using different IQA queries. For example, an organization can build an IQA query to determine a list of attendees
for a meeting or a query for everyone who has logged into iMIS in a particular day. The results from the IQA query will be returned
to the module and the user will get their results on a Google map instead of merely a list of addresses, thus enhancing the functionality
and useability iMIS’ IQA module.
