Address Validation Batch

When you run the validation process, the program generates an address validation batch with information about the addresses that require changes. To update your records with the validation information, you must commit the batch. Before you commit an address validation batch, we recommend you review the update file uploaded from Blackbaud. The batch lists all constituents included in the update file, along with the former address information, new address information, and other information about the update process. When you review the update file, you cannot change the information.

Note: For information about how to edit or commit a batch, see the Batch and Import Guide.

To view or edit the batch, under Step 2, select Go to batch or Edit batch on the action bar. To commit the records in the batch to your database, select Commit batch on the action bar.
