The GeoCircleFilter task is used to add and edit arguments for the GeoCircleFilter command used in a logic template. Performing a GeoCircleFilter task consists of the following steps:

Step 1

The first step is to initiate the task by either selecting the Geo-Spatial->Circle task in the FILTERING task bar along the left side of the Logic Template editor or by double-clicking on the GeoCircleFilter command name in the logic template if a GeoCircleFilter already exists. If the Geo-Spatial->Circle task is not enabled, be sure there is at least one longitudinal data field and at least one latitudinal data field defined in the related load definition file for this logic template.

The GeoCircleFilter dialog box will appear:

Step 2

The second step is to select the Boundary for the command:

Use the Boundary drop-down list to specify which coordinates of the circle are filtered.

Step 3

The third step is to select the Long. Field for the command:

Use the Long. Field drop-down list to select the name of the data field containing the longitude for the record being tested.

Step 4

The fourth step is to select the Lat. Field for the command:

Use the Lat. Field drop-down list to select the name of the data field containing the latitude for the record being tested.

Step 5

The fifth step is to specify the Center Point for the command:

Use the Center Point edit box to specify the name of the HTML variable containing the geo-spatial coordinate pair for the center.

Step 6

The sixth step is to specify the Radius for the command:

Use the Radius edit box to specify the name of the HTML variable containing the distance beyond which values are discarded.

Step 7

The seventh step is to specify the Units for the command:

Use the Units to specify the units ( miles or kilometers ) to be used for the distance of the radius.

Step 8

The eighth step is to specify the Flag for the command:

Use the Flag to indicate how records with a value of zero are handled.

Step 9

The ninth step is to click the OK button to insert the command into the logic template:

The command is inserted into the logic template where the cursor is located. If the task was initiated by double-clicking on the command name, then the arguments that are changed will be overwritten.
