Location address fields

Validation rules for Verisk Synergy Studio fields related to the address of a location.

You can select the area, sub area, and CRESTA zone from lists populated with values based on the selected ISO 2-character country code and, in the case of the Sub Area field, based on the selected CRESTA zone. When countries have both area and CRESTA zone information, the Sub Area field displays values only when there is a dependency between the CRESTA or Area fields and the Sub Area fields. (This change does not apply to 3-character offshore country codes.) In addition, the address columns have been rearranged in the user interface: Street, City, Country, Area, CRESTA, Sub Area, Postal, Geocode Match Level, Latitude, and Longitude.

Note: If you select a country, such as “Togo”, for which there is no information in the Geography database, and you then select the Area, CRESTA Zone, or Sub Area field, the list displays a blank field in which you cannot manually enter data. The only way that you can enter data in those columns is to make sure that they are included in the import file.

When you change the Country (ISO Code) in the Locations grid, the application automatically clears the Area (State), Sub Area (County) and Postal fields. When you change the Area (State) field, the application automatically clears the Sub Area (County) and Postal fields. When you change the Sub Area (County) field, the application automatically clears the Postal field.

If you change higher resolution address data, such as the latitude or longitude, the application does not automatically backfill the lower resolution address data, such as the Area (State) value.

You can select an item from a list by clicking the item, or you can scroll through the list until the item you want to select is highlighted and then press Enter.

Note: For detailed information about supplying address data for locations, including the minimum and maximum geographic resolutions that the application supports for each modeled country, see https://docs.risksolutions.verisk.com/synergy_geocoding/v1.0.0/index.html (login required) on the https://risksolutions.verisk.com/client-support/synergy-studio/verisk-synergy-studio/ landing page (login required).
Field Description Validation rules Default value
Street Street address for the location. For offshore platforms, this field corresponds to the complete area definition, which is a combination of the platform's protraction, block, and structure name.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 255 characters
City City in which the location resides. For offshore platforms, this field corresponds to the location's ID, which is a unique AIR-assigned identification number for the platform.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 255 characters
Country (ISO Code) ISO 2-character code for the country in which the location resides. See .
  • Required if you are creating a new record or editing an existing record
  • Can contain a valid country code or up to 255 characters for a country name
United States
Area (State) Area (state) code for the location , when applicable. For lists of the area codes for each supported country, see CRESTA and Area Codes.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 15 characters for an area code or up to 255 characters for an area name
Sub Area (County) Sub area code for the location.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 15 characters for a sub area code or up to 255 characters for a sub area name
Sub Area 2 Area-level code at a finer resolution than postal. This is populated when a country has more than four codes.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 15 characters for a sub area 2 code or up to 255 characters for a sub area 2 name
CRESTA Zone CRESTA code for the location. When entering CRESTA codes, aggregate locations use one location record (with the appropriate number of risks) for each unique combination of CRESTA, construction, occupancy, etc. Whenever possible, avoid having one location for each risk in a CRESTA zone. The Catastrophe Risk Evaluating and Standardizing Target Accumulations organization is an independent body for the technical management of natural hazard coverage. See www.CRESTA.org for more information about this organization. For lists of the CRESTA codes for each supported country, see CRESTA and Area Codes.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 15 characters for a CRESTA zone code or up to 255 characters for a CRESTA zone name
Postal Postal code for the location. For offshore platforms, this field corresponds to the block.
  • Optional
  • Can contain up to 15 characters for a postal code or up to 255 characters for a postal area name
Geocode Match Level Code for the level at which geocode match occurred. See the geocoding guide that is available on the Verisk Synergy Studio landing page. Read-only
Latitude Latitude coodinate for the city. Values will be positive for locations north of the equator and negative south of the equator.
  • Optional
  • Defaults to a value in the user interface
  • Can be a numeric value between -90.00 and 90.00, inclusive
  • Should include at least two decimal places
Longitude Longitude coordinate for the city. Values will be negative for locations west of the prime meridian up to the international date line. They will be positive for locations east of the prime meridian.
  • Optional
  • Can be a numeric value between -180.00 and 180.00, inclusive
  • Should include at least two decimal places
User Geocode Match Level User-specified accuracy of the latitude and longitude assigned for the location. The application does not use user-specified geocode match levels for geocoding. See the geocoding guide on the application's https://risksolutions.verisk.com/client-support/synergy-studio/verisk-synergy-studio//?epieditmode=false landing page.
  • Optional
