Element Relevance

Output port that indicates if an address element is required for postal delivery.

The Element Relevance value is a 20-character string in which each character can represent a different type of address data. After you run the address validation mapping, review the port output to identify the address elements that are necessary for each address. Use the results to verify that you selected the right output ports for the address data. If you do not select an output port for a relevant address data element, the output for that address will not be valid.

To read the output codes on the Element Relevance port, you must understand the types of address information that the characters in the code refer to. For information about the type of address information that each character in the code represents, see the Element Status Ports Overview.

Element Relevance Usage

Select Element Relevance to identify the address elements that are relevant to delivery for each address in the data set. You can refer to the list of element code positions and meanings to identify the address elements.

For example, position 8 in the output codes represents dependent street data. If Element Relevance indicates that some addresses must contain this information, you must select an output port for dependent street data.

Port Location

The following table provides the location and default precision of the Element Relevance port:

Port Type	Port Group	Template Model	Precision
Output	Status Info	Basic	30

Element Relevance Output Codes

The following table describes the codes that Element Relevance can return in each position on the output string:

Code	Description
0	Not relevant to delivery to the address.
1	Relevant to delivery to the address. The national postal carrier cannot deliver to the address without the data at this position in the output string.

Element Relevance values are available for addresses with a Match Code value of Cx or Vx in batch mode or Cx, Vx, I3, or I4 in interactive mode. Other assessment codes such as Element Input Status, Element Result Status, Extended Element Result Status, and Address Resolution Code return values regardless of the Match Code value.
