ADDRESS_PURPOSE (Validation)

ADDRESS_PURPOSE enables you to have an unlimited number of addresses per customer. It includes address purposes that will be used in tracking multiple addresses. The three primary address tabs on the Manage customers window are reserved for the address types defined in Customer Setup - Address and Notes window. When the ADDRESS_PURPOSE table is created with at least one value defined, a New address tab is added to the Manage customers window (see Customer data entry).

Note: In content item-based sites, you can create more than one address with the same custom purpose (defined in the ADDRESS_PURPOSE table), but multiples are not allowed for the standard purposes (defined in Customer Setup > Address and Notes).  In Desktop, users will only be able to add or edit one address per ADDRESS_PURPOSE type.

  1. Create the ADDRESS_PURPOSE table.
  2. Enter one or more address purpose codes in the table.
  3. Log out of iMIS.
