Verification Modes and Input Address Formats

Verification Modes and Input Address Formats

The verification mode that you select for your input address data can depend on the structure of your data set. You can select batch, interactive, and certified modes for all address formats. If you select QuickCapture mode, your complete address must occupy a single field.
Your organization might store data in one of several formats. For example, your data set might use a discrete field for each address element, or it might store multiple address elements in each field.

Example: United States Address

Your data set might contain the following United States address:
123 MAIN ST UNIT 4567, KRYTON TN 38101
You might store the address in a database table in one of the following formats:
Partially-Fielded Address Format
Your data set might store multiple address elements in each field.
The following table shows how you can map the fields in your data set to fields in Address Verification:
