These fields are grouped into Tabs to organise the available data. If you have commonly used data items that you wish to see alongside the address you can configure Postcode Plus to display up to four of these fields on the Results Tab.

Sometimes address details change, for example the postcode may change as the result of a recoding, or the building may be renamed, etc. The UDPRN for an address should stay constant when these changes occur. |
