Options
Global Address Validation uses the default options settings to define address validation processing.
Option Name | Country Support | Description |
---|---|---|
Database | All | The database to use for address processing. Only databases that have been defined in the Database Resources panel in the Management Console are available. |
Default country | All | The default country for address
processing. To improve coding performance when your input
addresses do not contain country information, set up an additional
instance of the Global Address Validation stage as a preliminary
stage to process and retrieve the country code for the input
addresses.
|
City fallback | All | When a street level match cannot be made, use the input city to determine match candidates. |
Postal fallback | All | When a street level match cannot be made, use the input postal code to determine match candidates. |
Casing | All | The format for the returned address:
|
Match mode | All | Match modes determine the leniency used to make a match between
the input address and the reference data. Select one of the
following match modes based on the quality of your input and your
desired output.
|
Prefer PO Box over street | CAN FRA GBR |
Prefer candidates matching the input PO Box over matches to the input street. Default = disabled. |
Prefer postal code over city | AUS | Prefer candidates matching the input postal code over matches to the input city. Default = disabled. |
Maximum records to return | All | The number of match candidates to return. Using a looser Match Mode setting such as "Relaxed" can result in the matching output including multiple match candidates. The specified number of match candidates are presented to the user to select the desired match candidate. If an exact match is found, the single match candidate is returned. |
Custom match fields | All | These options set custom match criteria for determining match
candidates. To enable these options, you must set the
Match Mode to Custom.
By default, these options are disabled.

Output options | All | The elements to be
returned by Global Address Validation processing:
