This activity is used to compare two different addresses given in two different input
string boxes and provide the percentage of similarity.

Technical Reference

	INPUT	Address1: Specify the first address to be compared.
		Address2: Specify the second address to be compared.
	MISC	Display Name: Displays the name of the activity. You can also customize the activity name to help troubleshoot issues faster. This name will be used for logging purposes.
		SkipOnError: It specifies whether to continue executing the workflow even if it throws an error. This supports only Boolean value “True or False.” True: Continues to execute the workflow irrespective of any error thrown. False: Stops the workflow if it throws any error
		Version: It specifies the version of the smart RPA cognitive feature in use.
	OUTPUT	MatchPercentage: Declare a variable here to get the match percentage result.

* Mandatory fields to execute the workflow.

 

Use case

The following activity illustrates how we can use the address match activity. Here
we are mentioning two different addresses and by using the Address match activity
we are going compare and retrieve the percentage of similarity which can be seen
using a write log.

Steps to execute a bot

1.       Open the Designer and create a solution.

2.       Drag and drop an address match activity from the smart RPA cognitive feature.

3.        Enter the input address 1 within double quotes that needs to be compared.
Here it is as “Cecilia Chapman, 711-2880 Nulla St., Mankato Mississippi 96522”

4.        Enter the input address 2 within double quotes that needs to be compared.
Here it is as “Aaron Hawkins, 5587 Nunc. Avenue, Erie Rhode Island 24975”

5.       Declare and create a variable in the Match Percentage box of the output
segment to see the result in an output box. Here it is “Output”

6.       Drag and drop a write log activity below the address match activity.

7.       Enter the same variable entered in the match percentage box and add
(.ToString) to it, since the writelog accepts only string values. E.g., Output.ToString

8.       Now, Execute the activity.

The bot executes the activity and gives the percentage of address match in the
output box. Here the match percentage is 0 % as they were two different addresses.
