Search Level Constraints for Finance Area and City
You can specify if you want the search area based on a Finance Area or on an area defined by the
city, state, and ZIP Code.
These constraints are supported at both the API level and in the Desktop application. You can set
these search level constraints in the
Match Settings dialog on page 249
.
CASS Mode automatically uses the Finance Area constraint by default. All other match modes use
City search level by defaults.
