Tips

  • It is highly recommended to add attributes to the task in sequential order for the best accuracy on address parsing.
  • Openprise provides a reference Data Set that contain the most common address suffix keywords "Reference – Street Suffix Abbreviations".
  • Openprise provides a reference Data Set that contain the most common company type words “Reference – Company Name Clean Up".
  • For higher accuracy, download the reference Data Set and enter keywords that custom fit your parsing needs then upload your custom reference data to use in the Advanced Configuration section of this task.
