Address Matcher Fields

The following table lists and describes the Address Matcher fields that you can use to enter search criteria in system searches for addresses.

Table 1. Address Matcher Fields
Field	Description
Site	This is the name of a common location. The site name is often the name of a business, institution, or other location that is widely recognized, such as Farmers’ Market, a local school, or Main Street Library. Site names are widely recognized and mean the same thing to most people. For example, a site name called “National Bank” would be meaningful—even if there are several branches with that name—because it refers to a specific banking institution from/to which many people travel. Limit site names to a maximum of 50 characters or they will not appear in full on manifests. Note: The site name field is only used for common locations.
Building Number	Additional address information
Address	This is the street address in <street number> <street name> <street type> format (for example, 985 Main St or 985 Main). Note: Use standard street type abbreviations such as St, Ave, Blvd, Pkwy, or Rd.
Unit	(If applicable) This is the unit number for the address. For example, Dr. Smith’s office is located in a Main Street plaza, in unit 4D. This field can also be used for other address information, such as Floor (fl) or Building (bldg) numbers. Unit field information is limited to a maximum of 15 characters. Note: You must enter the unit number after the address is geocoded. Entering a unit number before geocoding can hinder the address search or cause the address to display incorrectly.
City	City where the address is located. Note: The city is not usually necessary for searching for addresses. Depending on the size of the service area and/or the number of addresses in the area, you can use the City field to refine a search.
County	County where address is located.
Postcode	Postal code
Zip Code	Zip code for the address. Note: When you geocode a Canadian address, this field is not populated with the postal code. To include a Canadian postal code, you must enter the postal code after geocoding the address. The zip code is not usually necessary when searching for addresses. Depending on the size of the service area and/or the number of address matches returned in a search, you can use the Zip Code field and the City field to refine a search.
Jurisdiction	(Optional) This value is automatically populated for a geocoded address if your site uses polygons. Map Address Polygons are denoted with an asterisk (*) preceding the polygon name. You can use the list to select another jurisdiction, if necessary. However, doing so overrides the existing polygon and is not advised. Information entered here is not printed on standard manifests.
Map Page	(Optional) For sites that use map books, this is the page on which the address is located. This is an editable field; some sites might use this field for data other than map pages, such as county names. Information entered here is not printed on standard manifests.
