Sub-building Descriptor Ports

Input and output ports that describe the type of sub-building data in an address record.

Sub-building data identifies a mailbox location inside a building, such as an apartment, suite, or floor. For example, the Address Validator transformation parses "Suite" in "Honeymoon Suite" to a Sub-building Descriptor port.

Sub-building ports are related by port number. For example, Sub-building Complete 1 contains all data in Sub-building Descriptor 1, Sub-building Name 1, and Sub-building Number 1 ports.

Sub-building Descriptor Usage

Select a Sub-building Descriptor input port when an input address contains terms such as apartment, floor, or suite at a sub-building level in a single port.

Select a Sub-building Descriptor output port to write terms such as apartment, floor, or suite to a single port.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Sub-building Descriptor ports:

There are six Sub-building Descriptor ports. If an address record contains more than one sub-building level, select additional Sub-building Descriptor ports.

The Address Validator transformation does not parse the sub-building data by type. One address may have apartment data at sub-building 1 level, while another address may have floor data at sub-building 1 level and apartment data at sub-building 2 level.

Most countries use Sub-building Descriptor 1 or Sub-building Descriptor 2 ports. You may need to select a port in the Sub-building Descriptor 3 through Sub-building Descriptor 6 range if the sub-building data is highly complex.

For each sub-building level in an address, select a Sub-building Complete input port or select one or more of the Sub-building Descriptor, Sub-building Name, or Sub-building Number input ports.

You can select all sub-building ports as outputs.

Port Locations

The following table provides the location and default precision of the Sub-building Descriptor 1 and Sub-building Descriptor 2 ports:

Port Type	Port Group	Template Model	Precision
Input	Discrete	Advanced	50
Output	Address Elements	Basic	20

The following table provides the location and default precision of ports Sub-building Descriptor 3 through Sub-building Descriptor 6:

Port Type	Port Group	Template Model	Precision
Input	Discrete	Advanced	50
Output	Address Elements	Advanced	20
