<h3 class="productfield">Locality Line</h3>
:


<h3 class="productfield">Carrier Route</h3>
:This is a four-character code that indicates which mail carrier delivers to the input address.


:The first character of this Carrier Route is always alphabetic and the last three characters are numeric. For example, "R001" or "C027" would be typical carrier routes. The alphabetic letter indicates the type of delivery associated with this address.

:The eLot Order returns the letters "A" or "D" to indicate whether the Post Office™ delivers mail within the ZIP + 4® in ascending eLot Number order or descending.


:Therefore, if the eLot Number is 1 and the eLot Order is "D", then the address is typically the last delivery of the day.

==Service Settings==
[[File:Unison_Address-Global_OutputFields-Settings.png|300px|link=]]
Use the Service Settings to enable or disable specific Address Object settings.
<h3 class="productfield">Perform Delivery Point Verification (DPV®)</h3>
:DPV processing verifies that a record contains a deliverable address, down to the secondary address (suite) level.
:Not using DPV processing will speed up processing, but the Component will only be able to validate that the address falls within a valid street range of addresses and assign the ZIP + 4 code accordingly.
:DPV processing is required to generate a CASS Form 3553.
<h3 class="productfield">Perform LACSLink® Lookups</h3>
:Some rural route addresses are converted to city-style addresses to allow emergency services (ambulance, police, fire, and so on) to find these addresses faster.
:The LACSLink service matches the old address with the updated address and corrects it as part of the address verification process.
:Not using LACSLink processing will speed up processing, but the Component will not update addresses that have changed.
:LACSLink processing is required to generate a CASS Form 3553.
<h3 class="productfield">Perofrm Delivery Indicator Lookups</h3>
:Delivery Indicator indicates whether a given address is residential or business. Since some shipping rates are different for residential or business addresses, this information can potentially save a great deal of money.
<h3 class="productfield">Use USPS Preferred City Names</h3>
:For every city, there is an official name that is preferred by the U.S. Postal Service. There may be one or more unofficial or "vanity" names in use. Normally, the Component allows you to verify addresses using known vanity names. If this box is checked, the Component will substitute the preferred city name for any vanity name when it verifies an address.
<h3 class="productfield">Countries</h3>
:Select the desirect country. If you only need to verify Canadian or U.S. addresses, selecting the option for just that country prevents the data files for the other country from being loaded, reducing memory requirements and increasing the processing speed.
<h3 class="productfield">Diacritic Mode</h3>
:This controls how the Component will handle diacritic characters in French words for addresses located in Quebec. The default setting is for the Component to return data with diacritic characters if they were already present, otherwise not. The other settings are to always return data from Quebec addresses with diacritic characters, even if they were not present in the input data, or to always replace the diacritic characters if they were present in the input data.
<h3 class="productfield">Enable CASS Processing (US 3553)</h3>
:US Only.
:Enable this to generate a CASS Form 3553 after processing all records.
:This requires the address information boxes be filled out with the contact information for the company that owns the data being processed.
<h3 class="productfield">Enable SOA Processing</h3>
:Canada Only.
:Enable this to generate a Summary of Addresses (SOA) form.
<h3 class="productfield">Perform Suite Link Lookups</h3>
:SuiteLink is a service from the U.S. Postal Service® that links a high rise business address to a suite number and updates address records with missing suite information.
:Not using SuiteLink processing will speed up processing, but the Component will not update business addresses that are missing suite information.
:This requires the '''Company''' input field.
:SuiteLink processing is required to generate a CASS Form 3553.
<h3 class="productfield">Perform AddressPlus Lookups</h3>
:AddressPlus appends secondary address information, such as apartment numbers, to residential addresses and some business addresses not covered by the SuiteLink database.
:AddressPlus requires a last name. This can either be a last name column from the input data, or one of the last name output columns.


==Extra Information Fields==

Adds miscellaneous fields to the output record.
