Hello, parameter newbie here apologies... but could anyone provide a link or information on how to configure parameters dynamically from a csv so that users can identify the Address column they want to use for the geocoder in the app-- as users will typically bring their own csv schema to the app for geocoding. Thanks for any help here!!

How to create user parameters from supplied CSV

Hey there, in terms of parameter types - whilst you can ‘import’ from dataset… to bring values into a choice user parameter, it is a one off load, so not dynamic. There is a user parameter type for attribute name, should the user be creating different columns for the address
Its best you create a reader for csv, where there must be one column named addressinput, which needs to be the same across all the csv’s that users import.
More advanced methods include python scripting
- Creating and Modifying User Parameters (Parameter Types: Advanced > Scripted Selection)
- Dynamic choices using Scripted Selection
Also read up about dynamic reading and writing, should you want the user’s schema outputted.
