15.10. Address Standardization

Address Standardization is a powerful tool for improving the mailability and consistency of your contacts address information. Address standardization will fill possible missing information such as Zip+4, City, and County as well as standardizing abbreviations to a single format and correcting some types of errors in address content.

 

 

Initializing Address Standardization

You can click "Standardize Addresses" in order to begin address standardization for your database. After starting this, you do not need to wait for the standardization to finish, you can even log off. Standardization will continue to run in the background.

There are two options available when standardizing addresses:

 

Update Address Line 1

This option will cause line 1 to be included in the address standardization process. Including this line will include items such as street direction, prefix, and suffix. If abbreviated, these items will be standardized to a common format, uneeded items may be removed.

 

Update Only Unverified Addresses

This option will exclude any address that has already been standardized in the past.
