8.2.  List Addresses

Addresses may be associated with and shared by Contacts, Sites, Ship-Tos, and Vendors. You can create Address records from this screen using the NEW button. Or you can create Addresses right on the screens where they are used. For example, if you are entering information for a new Contact, you can create the Address record on the Contact screen. That Address will automatically be added to the master list of Addresses.

Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • If you have a long Addresses list, don't hit the QUERY button as soon as the screen opens. By default, the screen will display all your active Addresses—unless you specify otherwise.

  • Enter Address details in the Search window, then select the QUERY button. This will narrow the list for you.

  • When you edit an Address on this screen, the Address record will be updated wherever it is used.

  • If you have Address Characteristics defined, you can search and report on these Characteristics using the search filter options and also the column headers.

The following screenshot shows the "Addresses" screen:
