Preserve Address Format

You can preserve the formatting of addresses that come into Slate.

This override’s the standard address validation process.

Via Upload Dataset or in an import

To preserve the formatting of addresses entering Slate in an import:

1. During the static mapping stage of an import, configure the following settings:

   • Destination: Address → Address - Quality

   • Value: Unverified: Skip Validation

2. Select Save.

   

On the person record

Addresses are queued for overnight validation upon creation and upon update.

To keep an address out of this queue, on the Profile tab of the person record, when adding or updating an address, select Preserve Formatting.

📝 Note

This setting is automatically de-selected after closing the Edit Address window. You must select it whenever an update is made.
