Hello, 

I want to know how to use PointOnAreaOverlayer for a layer with more than 1 polygon.
I have a polygon shapefile for Canadian provinces and a point shapefile for Canadian addresses. Both have the Province name attribute.
I want to check if all points that fall in a polygon have the same name as a polygon. For example, I want to check that all points in Alberta have the province name, Alberta. 
I used the Grouped By Province name, but it did not work.
I appreciate your assistance with this transformer or any suggestion for this test.

 

One way is to use the SpatialFilter transformer, Group By Province Name.

Thank you nielsgerrits  for your reply. I have tested SpatialFilter and Group by Province name, but all of the addresses go to Failed. Is there any other parameter that needs to be changed?
 

I just need to join points in each polygon spatially to check whether they have the same name or not.


 

@marjan_nikoukar Do the points and areas have the same coordinate system? Inspect the input feature cache in the Data Inspector (without background maps) to make sure.  Sometimes datasets can be tagged with the wrong coordinate system but it’s not actually reprojected.  You’ll likely need a Reprojector for the points or the areas.
