Functionality documentation
This georeferenciation option allows to obtain the geometries of the Level 0 administrative regions (Countries) and the Level 1 administrative regions (NUTS 2). At the moment, NUTS 3 regions in Spain are also available (provinces).

Covers all countries.
Using ISO3 or ISO2 codes will always return the corresponding countries. Using the english or local name of the country should also work in most of cases, but due to the different variants that a name can have it could be possible that any of them is not detected.
If one of your countries is not being geocoded, open an issue here.

This geocoding approach will generate point geometries in the user database getting as input their respective coordinates.
In order to set up the process, the columns that contain latitude and longitude information need to be selected. If the coordinates live together in the same column they require to be split into two different columns. The coordinates must be expressed in decimal degree form. The projection EPSG 4326 WGS 84 will be assumed: if the coordinates belong to any other projection system they'll need to be transformed.

This geocoding option allows to geocode IP addresses.
In order to run this process, the dataset must have a column containing valid IP addresses. For IPv4, the structure consists in four octets expressed individually in decimal and separated by dots. One octet can be used to represent decimal values ranging from 0 to 255.
