Geo-Spatial Index Identification

Component	Description
Index Name	Unique name to identify the index. The drop-down list contains a list of suggested unique names. Either select a name from this list or you can specify your own.
Resource ID	Unique integer to identify the index. A resource id will be automatically assigned to the index when it is created.

Index Rules

Component	Description
Package	Name of the package across which the index is being created.
Longitudinal Data Field	Name of the longitude data field across which the index for the rows of the grid is created.
Latitudinal Data Field	Name of the latitude data field across which the index for the columns of the grid is created.
Processing	Used to support conditional processing of an index on a document by document basis.
(Add)	Use the add button to open the Add Geo-Spatial Index Rules dialog box.
(Delete)	Select an index rule and click the delete button to remove an index rule from the list.
(Edit)	Select an index rule and click the edit button to open the Edit Geo-Spatial Index Rules dialog box.

Longitudinal Coordinates

Component	Description
Minimum Coord	The smallest longitude mapped by the grid.
Cell Distance	Longitudinal distance in fractional degrees mapped by an individual grid cell.
E-W Cell Count	Number of cells in a single east-west row of the grid.

Latitudinal Coordinates

Component	Description
Minimum Coord	The smallest latitude mapped by the grid.
Cell Distance	Latitudinal distance in fractional degrees mapped by an individual grid cell.
N-S Cell Count	Number of cells in a single north-south row of the grid.

Geo-Spatial

Component	Description
Decimal Places	Identifies the number of implied decimal places for the longitudinal minimum coordinate, latitudinal minimum coordinate, longitudinal cell distance and the latitudinal cell distance. For any geo-spatial grid this value must be nonzero.

Boundary Flag

Component	Description
Boundary Flags	Select how values that fall below the base value or above the grid limits are handled.

Weight

Component	Description
Weight	Applied to results returned using this index.

Primary Index

Component	Description
