Address Evaluator

Address Evaluator icon The Address Evaluator takes the results from several locators and compares those results to records in a database. If the locator values match the records in the database, the Address Evaluator returns matching records.

Configure separate format locators to locate:

  • Zip Code (mandatory)

  • City (mandatory)

  • Street

  • State/Region

The Address Evaluator is similar to the Database Evaluator, but checks the position of address fields. Validations are run based on the position of the fields. For example, the "Zip Code" needs to be beneath the "City."

The Address Evaluator compares the extracted values to records in the database to ensure that they match. The most confident results are returned.

The extraction type of the Address Evaluator is "group" which means that this evaluator returns multiple subfields that can be mapped to individual simple fields. You may select one or more fields individually using the links or you can click the Create and Assign Fields button to create and assign all fields at once.

The Properties of Address Evaluator window has the following tabs:
