Business Name Standardization Components

Standardization engines use tokens to determine how each field is standardized into its individual field components and to determine how to normalize a field value. Tokens also identify the field components to external applications like a master index application. The following table lists each token generated by the Master Index Standardization Engine for business names along with the standardization component they represent. You can only specify the predefined field tokens that are listed in this table for business names unless you create a new data type or variant.
