Address Validation Process Page

When you create an address validation process, the program automatically generates a page for the process. On this page, you can view information about the process, such as when it was last run, the addresses and constituents included in the process, and its description. You can also view whether the program creates an output selection when you run the process. To access the process page from the Address Validation tab on the Data Tune-Up page, select the process to view and select Go to process on the action bar.

From the process page, you can walk through the steps run the address validation process. To validate your addresses with the Coding Accuracy Support Standards (CASS) of the United States Postal Service (USPS), you must first create and run a validation process. With the validation process, you select the constituents and addresses to validate.

When you run the validation process, the program generates an address validation batch with information about the addresses that require changes. Before you commit an address validation batch, we recommend you review the update file uploaded from Blackbaud. From the process page, you can also generate a report to view the validation changes.

Depending on your system role and security rights, you can edit or delete the process from its page.
