Hi,

 

 

I am using neighbor finder to find the candidates which are at 20 miles distance from base records. It is working fine, giving me the matching records which include the base records with the attributes of neighbor finder(_distance....etc)

 

 

 

Is it possible to add candidates record fields in the matching record output. How can I do that

Yes, though you'll need to stray into the topic of 'Lists'. You'll see you have the option to create a 'Close Candidate List Name'. Give this a name and then use the Inspector to see the results, you'll see a returned array of values for all your close candidates. You can dig into these relationships using transformers in the 'Lists' category. For example the ListConcatenator will allow you to concatenate a string that contains all the names of your top 20 candidates into one string values attached to your base. You could even explode the close candidates into their own features. Lots of options...

 

 

There's lots of list related articles here, for example:
