Explanation

This form can be accessed in two ways - either directly or from another form.
Accessing the Maintain Person Address Details form directly from the menu allows the user to query details in the Person Detail block and retrieve a number of records one after the other.
If the form is accessed from another form (for instance from ENRF3000 as a step in the enrolment process) it opens with a student ID carried forward as the context record. In these circumstances it is not possible to query any other person details.
Note that the person query function in this form is not as powerful as that in the Find Person form (ADMF1211). Names are case sensitive and are best avoided as query criteria. To avoid delays in retrieving records it is preferable to use Person ID numbers as query criteria.

Example

The form is principally used for recording and changing student addresses but may also be used for recording addresses of other people in the System (e.g. staff members).

Person Address

Explanation

The Person Address block is used to record and display the address details for the person displayed in the block above. A number of different addresses may be recorded for each person. Each address is assigned an address type. A person can only have one current address for each type. Address types identify the circumstances in which an address may be used. For instance, postal could be used for Australian postal addresses while overseas-postal could be used for students studying overseas.
Particular address types are used in reporting student addresses to government, and for these types, physical addresses rather than postal addresses should be used wherever possible - post office box, mail-service and similar details should be avoided. Since individual institutions make the decision about which types are used for this purpose, it may be necessary to consult a system administrator, statistics officer or similar person about the address types used for government reporting purposes in your institution.
Address types determine the layout and content of the Person Address block. Address types are maintained using the Maintain Address Types form (ORGF0116), where the Person Address block layout and field names for each address type are specified. ORGF0116 also permits address types to be nominated as correspondence addresses. When a nominated 'correspondence' address type is selected in the Person Address block, the word CORRESPONDENCE is displayed, in red text, in the top right hand corner of the block.

Example

Individual institutions will determine the address types they wish to use and the configurations for those address types. Typical address types might be postal, home, overseas-postal, overseas-home, internal.
