Global Address Validation uses the Matching options settings to define address validation processing.
Option Name | Country Support | Description |
---|---|---|
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.
|
Maximum records to return | 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.
For example, an exact match is not found. The maximum records to return is set to 3. Processing finds 8 match candidate suggestions. However, since maximum records to return is set to 3, only the three best match candidate suggestions are presented to the user to select the desired match candidate. In another example, an exact match is not found. The maximum records to return is set to 5.
However, processing only finds two match candidate suggestions. In
this example, only the two available match candidate suggestions are
presented to the user to select the desired match candidate.
Note: If
you specify ON for the CASS Flag, CASS processing overrides the
Maximum Records to Return to 1 (for the current processing run).
Multiple candidate suggestions are not valid when CASS processing is
turned ON.
