Street Suffix

Street suffixes (such as “street”, “road”, and “avenue”) are included in most addresses, and Circulation initially contains standard US and Canadian street types and abbreviations (see the list below). Limiting street suffixes to the types initially loaded insures that the format and abbreviation of street types are consistent with Post Office Publication 28 (a list of USPS street suffixes). Punctuation (such as periods after abbreviations) is omitted from street suffixes. Street suffixes can be added or modified using this option.

To add a street suffix:

• Select Street Suffix from the Address menu to display the Street Suffix window.

  
• Click the Add icon and complete the following fields.

  Field	Type	What to enter
  COUNTRY	setup (3)	Enter the country in which the street suffix is located.
  STREET SUFFIX	open (7)	Enter the street suffix.
  STREET SUFFIX NAME	open (20)	Enter the long name for this street suffix.

• Click OK to save the street suffix in the database or Add Another to save the existing record and add another street suffix ID.
