Field-Level Result Indicators

Field-level result indicators describe how Validate Address handled each address element. Field-level result indicators are returned in the qualifier "Result". For example, the field-level result indicator for HouseNumber is contained in HouseNumber.Result.

To enable field-level result indicators, check the Include result codes for individual fields check box. For more information, see Output Data Options.

StreetName.AbbreviatedAlias.Result	Indicates the result of abbreviated alias processing. One of the following: null No abbreviated alias processing attempted. B The StreetName field contains the base street name. L The standardized address length is less than 31 characters so the StreetName field contains the base name. N No abbreviated alias found. Y An abbreviated alias was found for input address. The StreetName field contains the abbreviated alias.
StreetName.Alias.Type	This result code applies to U.S. addresses only. Note: In previous releases this field was named StreetName.AliasType with no "." between "Alias" and "Type." This old name is obsolete. Please update your processes to use the new name StreetName.Alias.Type. Abbreviated The alias is an abbreviation of the street name. For example, HARTS-NM RD is an abbreviated alias for HARTSVILLE NEW MARLBORO RD. Changed There has been an official street name change and the alias reflects the new name. For example if SHINGLE BROOK RD is changed to CANNING DR, then CANNING DR would be a changed alias type. Other The street alias is made up of other names for the street or common abbreviations of the street. Preferred The street alias is the locally preferred alias. For example, a street is named "South Shore Dr." because it runs along the southern shore of a lake, not because it is south of a municipal demarcation line. So, "South" is not a predirectional in this case and should not be shorted to "S". So, "South Shore Dr." would be the preferred alias.
StreetName.PreferredAlias.Result	Indicates the result of preferred alias processing. One of the following: null No preferred alias processing attempted. A Preferred alias processing was not attempted because the input address matched to an alias. Preferred alias processing is only attempted for base addresses. N No preferred alias found. Y A preferred alias was found for the input address. The StreetName field contains the preferred alias.
