|
UseReferenceDiacritics |
Specifies whether or not ValidateGlobalAddress modifies the address to match the diacritics (accents, umlauts, etc.) in the postal database when the only changes to the address are the diacritics . One of the following:
For example, if UseReferenceDiacritics is enabled, the following would occur: Input City: Chalon-Sur-Saône Input City: ARTEMIVS'K If UseReferenceDiacritics is not enabled, the following would occur: Input City: Chalon-Sur-Saône Input City: ARTEMIVS'K Note that this option has no effect on the Transliteration option. |
KeepStandardizationChanges |
Specifies whether or not standardization changes such as changing "ROAD" to "RD" should be reported in the ACR code.
|
AcceptanceLevel |
The Acceptance Level setting specifies the minimum number of address components that must be validated in order for the whole address to be considered validated. The value specified for AcceptanceLevel corresponds to the second character of the ACR code. For more information, see The ACR Code. The acceptance level differs from the InnerMatchScore option in that acceptance level measures how many components Validate Global Address validated, regardless of how well the validated components matched to address components in the postal databases, whereas InnerMatchScore indicates the probability that the output address is the correct, validated version of the input address. One of the following:
|
InnerMatchScore |
Specifies the minimum confidence level for address validation. Addresses with a value in the Confidence output field greater than or equal to this value is validated, and those that have a lower value will not be validated (the output field Status will contain F.) Specify any value between 0 and 100. The higher the value, the higher the degree of confidence necessary for effective address validation. The default is 60. |
CompanyWeight |
A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of the FirmName field compared to the data in the Address Now database. This affects the confidence value, and can be used to tailor the confidence to distinguish correct and incorrect updates. For more information, see The ACR Code. The default value is 1. |
StreetWeight |
A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of the StreetName field compared to the data in the Address Now database. A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of this field compared to the others. For more information, see The ACR Code. The default value is 10. |
CityWeight |
A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of the City field compared to the data in the Address Now database. A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of this field compared to the others. For more information, see The ACR Code. The default value is 8. |
PostcodeWeight |
A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of the PostalCode field compared to the data in the Address Now database. A whole number from 0 to 10, indicating the relative importance of this field compared to the others. For more information, see The ACR Code. The default value is 8 |
OuterMatchScoreLines |
A value from 0 to 8 indicating the number of address lines to use when calculating the outer match score. The default is 8. For more information on the outer match score, see The Outer Match Score. |
