If Abbr if > 13 chars is selected, limits the size of the output city field to 13 characters. This is optional and defaults to Full city name.

Share CASS library among tools

If selected, Data Management uses a single shared CASS library even if there are multiple Standardize Address tools.

Name of the company that coded the address lists.

List name

Name of the list being coded.

Mailer name

Name of the person that will sign the report.

Mailer company

UPPERCASE
lowercase
TitleCase

Controls the text case of all CASS output data.

Long

Uses the long form of the address element instead of the standard abbreviated form.

Short

Uses the standard abbreviated form of the address element.

Keep input form

Keeps the long or short form of the address element, depending on what was input. However, if any change was needed to match the standard, it will be output in standard abbreviated form.

Standardize

Uses the standard city name or street name. For data quality and matching purposes, always choose Standardize.

Keep vanity name

If a vanity name was input for the street or city, keeps it. A vanity name is usually an alternate, non-standard form that some people prefer to use, such as "Hollywood" rather than "Los Angeles".

Keep abbreviation

If an abbreviated form of the address element was input, keeps it. Will also return the abbreviated form if it is a closer "fuzzy" match to the input city or street name than the standard form.

Keep vanity or abbr.

Both Keep Vanity Name and Keep Abbreviation Rules are applied.

Force standardization

Replaces preferred vanity aliases with the standard street name. This is not CASS-compliant, but is useful for matching addresses.

Keep non-mailing

When selected, keeps a non-mailing input city name. This is not CASS compliant, and not generally used. However, you may need this to match "legacy" mail-processing results.

Share CASS library among tools

When selected, Data Management uses a single shared CASS library even if there are multiple Standardize Address tools. Because the CASS library can be very resource-intensive, you should leave this set to the default setting unless you are explicitly replicating the Standardize Address tool for parallel execution with a Splitter/Merge technique. Note that Data Management cannot share the CASS library between tools if any option except Memory use is configured differently on the Options page of the Standardize Address tools, or if a CASS report is specified. In these cases, Data Management will issue a warning.
