US Addressing Output Fields

Name

Description

Company

Mapping a company will provide the capability of appending the secondary (suite) information to a business address providing that the input address is determined to be a highrise default record.

StreetOnly

This is the first half of a parsed version of Street, when inputting an address of “123 Main St Ste 9” in Street, the StreetOnly element would contain only the “123 Main St” when outputting the corrected mappings. StreetOnly would also contain the PO Box and #, if the address were a PO Box.

Alternates

In situations where there are 2 valid addresses provided (a PO Box and a street address) – The user can specify a preference to choose when both are valid. When inputting dual addresses with a PO Box preference set, then the street address would be moved to alternates, as the zip+4 is assigned based on the primary address. In cases where there are dual addresses but one is not valid, then the invalid address elements will be put into the Street2 column.

Street

This is a full first address line – it will include the PO Box, or the street and suite information in a single line.

Street2

Used when there is more than one street input line, if the user has multiple street lines to input, or if street and suite elements are already parsed then map the columns in as Street and Street2 – Processing on that address may happen twice in case data comes in transposed to help compensate for bad elements being put into the street line – when dealing with dual address elements. When an address is verified – data returned into street2 is not a valid part of the verified address and may include attention lines, or other address elements that were not put into Alternates or Leftovers.

Suite

This element contains both the Suite descriptor (Ste, Apt, Fl) and the secondary number. A valid input of “123 Main St Ste 9” in Street, would result in “Ste 9” being populated into the output column.

Urbanization

In Puerto Rico, repeated street names and address number ranges can be found within the same ZIP Code (e.g., CALLE 1, CALLE 2, etc.). These streets can have the same house number ranges (e.g., 1-99). In these cases, the urbanization name is the only element that correctly identifies the location of a particular address.
