Performing Address Update Monthly Reporting

You can run reports in the Address Update add-on to satisfy United States Postal Service (USPS) requirements and monitor your implementation. The USPS-required reporting is supported by the following DataFlux Data Management Studio process job nodes:

You can run each of these reports by using the same method: drop the report node in the process flow editor and enter appropriate values in the Input tab. Perform the following tasks:
