Repeat this process for each output point attribution you wish to do. For each table you select,
you can choose whether to do output point or column value attribution.

L

The Modify/Add Columns button may be disabled. If so, this is because the input and
output columns have already been mapped. You cannot add or modify columns at this
time. You can change the type of attribution (Output Point or Column Value) and change
column bindings.

7. When finished, click OK.

You are now ready to add the bound attributes to your table. See

Adding Attributes to Your Table

on page 183

Binding Attributes – Column Value Attribution

Column value attribution matches (joins) a column in the geocoded table to an equivalent column in
the attribution table. The column in the attribution table must be indexed. (That is, there must be an
IND file to accompany the DAT file.)

To set up column value attribution:

1. After completing the procedure for

Creating a Column to Receive Attribution Data

), you will

see the Bind Attribute Table Columns to Output Columns dialog. From this dialog, use the
Attribute Table Name drop-down list and select the table from which you want to copy
attributes.

2. Click Column Value in the Join Information group.
