The Customer Data Parser identifies line types based on the types of attributes in a line. For example, if the Parser finds a title, first name, and last name on a line, it identifies the line as a Name line. If your input records are set up in such a way that one or more lines in a record are of a specific type, you can use that information to improve the efficiency of the CDP.

For example, if your records all have the format:

Joe's Pizza Shop

Joe Brown

11 Main St

Anytown, MA 01800

you can specify line 1 as a Business Name, line 2 as a Name, line 3 as a Street, and so on. If you are not sure or if your records are not consistent, you can specify a line as "Not Predefined" (default). For example, if some records start with a Business Name and others start with a personal name, you can specify lines 1 and 2 as Not Predefined, and still specify line 3 as a Street type.

To specify CDP input lines

  1. From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the Customer Data Parser process and select Edit Process.
  2. Select Options. The Options window opens, with the Parser input address line types in the left pane.
  3. For each line in your input records, select one of the following line types:
    Option Description

    Not Predefined

    None. The CDP determines the line type (default).

    Name

    Input address line that contains personal and/or business names.

    Business Name

    Input address line that contains business names.

    Street

    Input address line that contains street components.

    Geography

    Input address line that contains geography components (neighborhood, city, state, county, and postal code).

    Not a Name

    Prevents the line from being identified as a Name line.

    Note: These settings for the input lines take precedence over all other attribute settings. For example, if you specify line 1 as the Business Name type but in one record line 1 contains geographical information, the CDP still processes the line as a business line.
  4. (Optional) Go to the Parser Options pane on the right. From this pane, you can select names to write and specify how to identify business names.
  5. Click Finish.
