Add Source

Then select a source for your new project. In this instance I'll use a file as a source.

After clicking File, navigate to your desired file to upload it.

Input File Preview

Once the file is uploaded, the Input File Preview window will open. Here you can preview how your file will be used. You can change the delimiter, enclosure, select if your file includes a header row, and specify which fields to use.

Once you save your choices from the preview, you'll be sent to the Project Configuration screen.


Select Service

Then select which service you want to use on your data. Here we'll use Address Object.

Outputs

Now click Add an Output to select your Outputs. Here you can choose to write to file or to table. Here we'll write to a file. Enter a file name and then select your enclosure and delimiter. You can also choose your compression method, to append a timestamp, or include the header.

Filter

To get specific data from your file you can use a filter. This will filter your resulting data, using the result codes of the records to limit your results. For example, selecting the Full Address Matches (USPS) filter shows that any records with an AS01 result code will be output.

Output Fields

Clicking the rollout arrow next to Output Fields will show the default output fields and their order. You can delete unwanted fields from your output by clicking the trashcan icon next to each field. You can also re-order your fields by drag and drop.
