Configuring QAS Pro v4 for other countries
We have provided specific address layouts for Australia, New Zealand, and United Kingdom, all of which have been tested with iMIS 10.6. Examining the differences between these three address layouts can help you determine a good approach to designing address layouts for other countries in a manner that will be compatible with iMIS country address data.
Note: ASI supports QAS v4 for use only with v4 country address databases from QAS as they become available for Australia, New Zealand, and United Kingdom.
Before you begin
- QAS Pro v4 must be properly installed.
- Ensure that you are generally familiar with the process of using the Layout Manager function to define address layouts. See your QAS Pro v4 documentation for more information.
To configure QAS Pro v4 for other countries
- Open the QuickAddress Pro Configuration Editor.
- Use the Layout Manager to define a <Default> address layout for your country, using the following guidelines:
- The first three lines should have a width of 40 and use the <auto> element. These correspond to the three Address fields in iMIS.
- The fourth line should have a width of 40 and use a fixed element that corresponds to the City field in iMIS.
- The fifth line should have a width of 15 and use a fixed element that corresponds to the County field in iMIS.
- The sixth line should have a width of 10 and use a fixed element that corresponds to the Post Code field in iMIS.
- Any additional lines after the sixth line are used only by QAS and will have no impact on address verification in iMIS.
- Choose File > Save.
- Test your address layout in iMIS by manually verifying some sample addresses, and also print some reports and labels from iMIS that include some sample addresses.
- If the addresses do not verify properly, or if anything looks incorrectly formatted in reports and labels from iMIS, change the address layout in QAS Pro and then repeat the testing process until everything works properly in iMIS.
