Auto Address Registry entry

Specifies whether address details are automatically updated when an address is verified against Canada Post postal data or whether (as in the default case) a user is shown a match with the option to select or reject it.

Note: Only used in Canadian Registries.

The Auto Address entry specifies whether address details are automatically updated when an address is verified against Canada Post postal data and a single match is identified or whether (as in the default case) a user is shown one or more matching addresses with the option to select one.

This Registry entry is similar to the Auto Location Registry entry.

Note: The Auto Address Registry entry requires that the Postal Query Enabled Registry entry is specified and set to true.

is true (if there is only one record that matches, the data is automatically entered into the other address fields) or false (the user is always shown a match, with the option to accept or reject it).

Note: If this entry is not present, a setting of false is assumed.
