Address Auto-complete and Verification

  • Updated

Zingtree has an automatic address auto-complete and verification capability. This greatly speeds up US Address entry and validates its accuracy.

 

Here’s How It Works

As you start entering an address, Zingtree gives you selections on every possible match:address verification.gif

The more text you enter, the fewer matches appear allowing the list to narrow to your desired address.

Once you select a match, the city, state and zip code are filled in automatically, and the address is verified against the USPS database. If the address is valid, a “USPS Verified” tag will appear in the form.

How to Set Up Address Auto-Complete and Verification

Setting up a form with address verification requires two parts:

  1. Enable the Verify USA Addresses option in the Tree’s Settings.
  2. Set up your address entry forms, using the new address 1, address 2, city, state and zip field types.

Step by step, here’s how to do it:

  1. Select your tree, and go to the Settings tool.
  2. Click the Data tab. You’ll see something like this:
