Validate an Address for a Constituent
With Data Tune-Up, you can use the address validation service to verify that addresses you enter exist. When you validate an address, the program automatically standardizes its format, corrects misspelled words, and updates it with missing information such as the (Undefined variable: BB_Variables.ZIP Code_UC).
To validate an address entered for a constituent, such as on the Add address screen or Add an individual screen, select Validate. If the address entered is valid, the program automatically updates it accordingly. If the program cannot validate an address, such as when the address is incorrect or provides possible matches, a message appears to ask whether to search for the correct address.
