Geocode Preferences | This option is available with GGM only. Using the Geocoding preferences options enables the geocoder to attempt to return a less precise geocode when an address-level geocode cannot be determined. |
> Fallback to postal | It attempts to return a postal code centroid. |
> Fallback to geographic | It attempts to return a centroid of a geographic area. |
Match Mode | Match modes determine the leniency used to make a match between the input address and the reference data. Select a match mode based Match Mode String on the quality of your input and your desired output. The following match modes are available: |
> Standard | Requires a close match and generates a moderate number of match candidates. Default. |
> Relaxed | Allows a loose match and generates the most match candidates, which increases the processing time and Relaxed results in more multiple matches. Use this mode if you are not confident that your input is clean; free of misspellings and incomplete addresses. |
>Exact | Requires a very tight match. This restrictive mode generates the fewest match candidates, which decreases Exact the processing time. When using this mode, ensure that your input is very clean; free of misspellings and incomplete addresses |
>Custom | Allows you to define the matching criteria by setting Custom Mode Must Match Fields |
>Interactive | Available in single-line address
matching only. This mode is designed to better handle the specific matching
Interactive challenges presented by interactive matching. Interactive mode
permits for more flexible matching patterns and may, in some cases, return
additional possible matches than relaxed match mode. Note: It should be used only
for USA. Please refer the Spectrum document once.
|
>CASS | Imposes additional rules to ensure
compliance with the USPS CASS regulations. The purpose of this match mode CASS
is to create mailable addresses for USPS mailing discounts. Use this mode to
standardize your input for mailing. This mode generates a large number of match
candidates. Note: It should be used only for USA. Please refer the Spectrum
document once.
