1. Either FirstName and LastName, FullName or Company
2. Address
3. Either City and State, and or ZIP

Existing field names are selected using the dropdown boxes.

Full Name

If this is an individual person's address and the entire name is stored as a single string, pass the contents of that field here.

If the contact Name is already parsed, the Component can use information via the fields below.

Parsed Components

Prefix

This would be a title or honorific such as "Mr," "Miss," or "Dr."

This field accepts an individual's middle name if one exists.

Last Name

This field accepts the family name for each record containing an individual address.

Suffix

This field accepts any part of the name that follows the family name, such as degrees ("MD" or "PhD") and generational indicators ("IV" or "Jr."), if one exists.

If just one address is found, the address checking logic can correct the address and return the urbanization name.

Select the field in the input database that contains the Plus 4 extension for US ZIP codes, if this information is stored separately.
