CASS related Selections
If you selected CASS mode, you can also produce a CASS report (Form 3553).
Because the address standardization requirements for CASS are very rigid, you cannot control the
geocoding settings you normally have when geocoding with the MapMarker Desktop application.
For example, you cannot geocode to a user dictionary when you are CASS geocoding.
The CASS related options are:
Street name
When the Street Name box is checked, candidate street names but be
exactly matched to get a geocoding match. When the street name box is
unchecked, MapMarker will accept similar street names as a match.
This requires an exact match on all elements of the street name. Also,
blank input values for these elements will not match non-blank values in
the candidate records.
L
Street name exact match also requires an exact match on street
type. That is, 147 Rd. must be matched exactly; 147 Ave does
not match.
City Name
When the City Name box is checked, MapMarker requires a city name
match. When this box in unchecked, the city name does not have to
match.
ZIP Code
When ZIP Code™ is checked, ZIP Code must be exactly matched to get
a geocoding match. When ZIP Code is unchecked, surrounding
ZIP Codes are considered for matching purposes and records with
missing ZIP Codes are also considered.
