QuickCapture Mode

QuickCapture Mode

Use QuickCapture mode to receive address suggestions as you type. QuickCapture mode supports single-line data input. Use the SingleAddressLine element and the Country element to retrieve address suggestions. You can receive up to 100 suggestions for an input address in QuickCapture mode.
You can specify the maximum number of suggestions that Informatica Address Verification returns for each partial or complete address that you enter in QuickCapture mode. For information about how to specify the number of address suggestions, see Maximum Number of Results in the Output.
Use a character space as the delimiter in the input address. Use the SingleAddressLineDelimiter element to set the output delimiter. The default output delimiter for elements in QuickCapture mode is the semicolon.
You can set the output delimiter to one of the following values:
  • Comma
  • Semicolon
  • Space
  • Tab

Sorting Criteria in QuickCapture Mode

At the highest level, Address Verification sorts address suggestions by the type of address element in each suggestion that most closely matches the input address values.
Within each group, QuickCapture mode considers the following factors when it sorts and returns address suggestions:
  • The similarity between the input address and the reference address, as indicated by the MatchPercentage value.
  • The distance between the input address and the reference address, if the distance can be calculated.
If you provide an IP address or a set of geocoordinates in the input address, the locality that the IP address or the geocoordinates identify becomes the primary sorting criterion within each result group.
Address Verification returns a complete address in suggestions when the address type is S. For other address types, Address Verification may return a partial address that includes the information that links it to a result group.
For more information about the ResultGroup property, see Result Group.

Locality Order in QuickCapture Output

Address Verification can sort the address suggestion list according to the town or city to which the addresses belong, beginning with the addresses in the nearest town or city. Address Verification sorts the addresses by town or city when you include an IP address or a set of geocoordinates in the input address.
You can submit an IP address in IPv4 format or IPv6 format. When you submit IP address data with a partial address, Address Verification converts the IP address to a geocode and uses the geocode to select the town or district in which the address is located.
You can enter geocoordinates as a single input value, or you can enter the latitude and longitude coordinates as discrete input values.
If you enter both IP address and geocoordinate values for an address that you verify in QuickCapture mode, Address Verification gives precedence to the geocoordinates over the IP address.

Rules and Guidelines for QuickCapture Mode

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you submit an address for verification in QuickCapture mode:
  • QuickCapture mode reads the SingleAddressLine element, the Country element, and optionally the SourceID element. Enter country information in the Country element and not in the SingleAddressLine element.
  • Ensure that you fully preload the quick capture reference data files before you submit an address in QuickCapture mode.
  • QuickCapture mode can process an incomplete address. For best results, submit a complete address.
    QuickCapture mode can tolerate a mis-spelling in an address element in a manner that batch and interactive modes cannot. For example, QuickCapture mode can recognize 1 FIFTH AVE NEW YO as 1 FIFTH AVE NEW YORK.
  • When you submit an address to QuickCapture mode in a Chinese or Japanese character set, use a character space as a delimiter between the elements.
  • Do not separate associated address values. For example, do not add a locality name between a street name and its associated descriptor.
  • Do not enter a child address element without the corresponding parent element. For example, do not enter a house number without the corresponding street name.
  • QuickCapture mode may return partial addresses when all elements are not provided on input or when there are ranges in the output that do not uniquely identify an address.
  • QuickCapture mode supports five-digit ZIP Codes in the United States but does not support +4 digit ZIP Code extensions.
  • Address Verification expands any house number, building number, and postal code number ranges in the addresses that it returns in a suggestion list in QuickCapture mode. Address Verification performs range expansion from the first eligible address in the suggestion list and can continue to the limit that the MaxResultCount property defines.
    Address Verification applies preset values to the NumericRangeExpansion parameter properties in QuickCapture mode. For more information about range expansion, see Expand Numerical Ranges.
