AddressFinder Process Page
When you create an AddressFinder process, the program automatically generates a page for the process.

From Administration, select Data tune-up. The Data Tune-Up page appears.

Select the AddressFinder tab. A list of existing processes appears.

Find the process in the list. Select the name of the process. The process's page appears.

View and complete the steps to run the AddressFinder process.

Configure data tune-up as necessary.
For Step 1: Create file, you'll select the constituents and addresses to check for change of address updates. If an address can't be included in your file, it'll appear as an exception.

For Step 2: Submit file to Blackbaud, you'll send the file you created in the previous step to Blackbaud, who will analyze the data by comparing it with the United States Postal Service's (USPS) National Change of Address database (NCOALink) database.

Tip: You won't receive a notification from Blackbaud when the analysis is complete and available. Instead, check the process status page to determine if the file is ready.
For Step 3: Get file from Blackbaud, you'll check if the file is available and then retrieve the file of recommended updates. Review the data in the file and consider which data from the file you want to act on.

For Step 4: Update addresses, you'll select which addresses to update and how to handle each footnote code received (such as Do not mail reasons) from the United States Postal Service during an AddressFinder process. Review the information before you commit the batch of updates.
