Automatic Updates to AddressWhen there is only one possible choice, the correction is automatically made. The person entering the information does not need to make a decision.

Data entry:

This page shows the fields as typed. Note that the user has not yet tabbed out of the zip code field. When this is done, the information in Street Line 1 will be changed (along with populating the other address fields).

Clean Address Correction:

When the user “tabbed” out of the zip code field, Street Line 1 was updated with “N” and “St” per Clean Address standards. The other address fields were populated as normal.

13

Street Number InvalidIn this case, the street number entered is not valid. A list of valid addresses is shown. When OK is clicked, the address is updated per the zip code (city, state, etc) but no change was made the street number. The user must make the appropriate change. Clean Address will allow the user to save the record even though it is not valid.

14

Multiple OptionsIn the picture below, there are 2 possible choices for 103 Gainsborough in Royal Oak, MI. There is a “N” and a “S.” The pop up box advises of the multiple matches. Again, the user can save the record as is – even with an incorrect address.

Manual Overrides

• Overrides OK but:– Should do a search on the web:

• Whitepages.com• Google• Etc.

• Try to keep overrides to a minimum – take the time to search

• Sometimes unavoidable because of early warning system

• Double-check at USPS or clean-address site
