Input address fields

Input address fields

A verifier displays a range of fields in the Inputs and Outputs sections of the
Configuration
tab. Each input field appears in one or more input models. Every field appears as an output field.
The following address fields appear in the both Inputs and Outputs sections:
Address Lines
Contains multiple elements of delivery information such as street, house number, and sub-building information, in a single field. Use in conjunction with a Last Line field. The input fields appear in the Hybrid input model.
The number of Address Line fields you need can differ from country to country. Select the number of Address Line fields that you need.
Administrative Division
Contains name of the largest administrative area below the national level, such as a province in Canada, state in India, or county in the United Kingdom. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
A verifier includes three levels of Administrative Division fields in the input. Use Administrative Division 1 to identify the primary or largest region. Use Administrative Division 2 to identify the primary subdivision in the province. For example, use Administrative Division 2 for county data in the United States. If the province data is highly complex, use the Administrative Division 3 field.
A verifier includes the following types of Administrative Division output fields:
  • Administrative Division Standard
  • Administrative Division Name
  • Administrative Division Abbreviation
  • Administrative Division ISO
Each sub-field contains three levels.
Building
Contains building information. A Building field contains building-level data such as the building descriptor, building name, and building number. If an address record contains more than one building, select additional Building fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete input model.
Contact
Contains contact information such as name, function, and salutation. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
A verifier includes the following types of Contact fields:
  • Contact 1
  • First Name 1
  • Middle Name 1
  • Surname 1
  • Title 1
  • Function 1
  • Salutation 1
If your address verification mapping will read contact data, select the Contact 1 input field or select one or more of the First Name 1, Middle Name 1, and Surname 1 input fields.
Country
Contains country information. The input fields appear in the Discrete, Hybrid, and Multiline input models.
The input field group contains a single Country field.
The output field group contains the following types of Country field:
  • Country Name
  • Country ISO 3
  • Country ISO 2
  • Country ISO Number
Each output field type has two levels. For example, the output fields include
Country ISO Number 1
and
Country ISO Number 2
.
Delivery Service
Contains delivery service information. A delivery service is a mail pickup location managed by the post office, such as a P.O. Box. If the address record contains delivery service elements at more than one level, select additional Delivery Service fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete input model.
Department
Contains information about a department within an organization. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
Formatted Address Lines
Contains multiple elements in a single field. You can enter every line of an address on a formatted address line. You can use the Formatted Address Line output to print envelopes or to generate address labels. The input fields appear in the Multiline input model.
Select Formatted Address Lines input fields when the input data consists wholly of address lines instead of fields for different information types. Select Formatted Address Lines output fields to write addresses that you want to format for envelope printing and mail delivery.
House Number
Contains house number information. The house number identifies a building at street level. If the address record contains house numbers at more than one level, select additional House Number fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete input model.
Last Line
Contains last-line address information such as locality, postal code, and province information. Use in conjunction with Address Line fields. The input fields appear in the Hybrid input model.
Select a Last Line input field when you format the input address for postal delivery. Select a Last Line output field to create a formatted address that writes the last line of data to a single field.
Locality
Contains town or city name. Most countries use Locality 1 and optionally Locality 2. You might select additional locality fields if the locality data is highly complex. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
Organization
Contains organization information. An Organization field contains organization-level data, such as the organization name and organization descriptor. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
Postal Code
Contains postal code information. If the address record contains postal codes at more than one level, select additional Postal Code fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete and Hybrid input models.
Street
Contains street information. A Street field contains street-level data such as the street name, street post-descriptor, street post-directional, street pre-descriptor, and street pre-directional. If an address record contains more than one street, select additional Street fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete input model.
Sub Building
Contains sub-building information, such as an apartment or suite number. A Sub Building field contains sub-building level data such as the sub-building descriptor, sub-building name, and sub-building number. If an address record contains more than one sub-building level, select additional Sub Building fields. The input fields appear in the Discrete input model.
