User Guide
Relaxed Enables Relaxed match mode. This provides less strict matching rules. In
general, Relaxed mode increases your chances of getting a close match
but performance (geocoding speed) may not be as good. It also is more
likely to return false positive candidates.
CASS
This provides strict conformity to USPS ® CASS™ regulations for CASS
software. Use CASS mode to standardize your input for mailing. If you
select CASS Mode, several other options are disabled and their values
are overwritten by CASS rules.
CASS mode requires a close name match. Unlike other modes, CASS
does not match intersection addresses, building name, or street aliases.
CASS also does not match based on a user dictionary or any data source
that does not have USPS equivalent records.
CASS Mode also enables the option to Produce a CASS Report
See CASS related Selections .
Custom (Exact
Match On) Custom allows you to select any combination of Exact Match constraints
rather than relying on any of the match mode algorithms. This gives you
very precise control over the matching.
If you wish to specify exact match conditions, select Custom (Exact
Match On) to activate these choices. clear or check the appropriate check
box in the group. For example, clearing the House Number box and
checking Street Name and ZIP Code means that MapMarker matches
your record to the closest house number for the exact street in that
ZIP Code it finds in the Address Dictionary.
House number When the House Number box is checked, candidate house numbers must
be exactly matched to return a close match. When the House Number box
is unchecked, MapMarker can make a close match even if the house
number match is not exact.
Street name When the Street Name box is checked, candidate street names must be
exactly matched to get a geocoding match. When the street name box is
unchecked, MapMarker will accept similar street names as a match.
This requires an exact match on all elements of the street name. Also,
blank input values for these elements will not match non-blank values in
the candidate records.
Street name exact match also requires an exact match on street type.
That is, 147 Rd. must be matched exactly; 147 Ave does not match.
City Name When the City Name box is checked, MapMarker requires a city name
match. When this box in unchecked, the city name does not have to
match.
