Purpose of the Mod
To help administrators
- Set the Place Level field in the place level database,
- Copy Place Levels and Geocodes from one database to another (particularly from a production database to a test databasee)
by creating four utilities available through tabs on the Administrative >> Places menu.
Setting Place Levels
The Place Level field in the Places database indicates the specificity of the place name; e.g.
Placelevel = 0 for Unknown or undefined level
Placelevel = 1 for Address
Placelevel = 2 for Location (a facility, cemetery, or other location within a town or county), e.g. Laurel Land Cemetery, Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Placelevel = 3 for City/Town, e.g. Houston, Harris, Texas, USA, or Houston, Texas.
Placelevel = 4 for County/Shire, e.g. Harris County, Texas.
Placelevel = 5 for State/Province, e.g. Texas (and see notes for "pseudo-states" below)
Placelevel = 6 for Country, e.g. USA or America or Germany.
This mod only can compute the placelevel for USA places and other country names (but not places within other countries). To compute a placelevel, this mod uses several Place Format Options, which are described in detail in the Place Utilities Help File.
The Place Utilities Help File
The purpose and functionality of the utilities installed by this mod are described in the help file that is shared by the four utilities. It can be viewed at the mod author's web site.
