Enable external APO search

Your agency can configure a method for public users to search and apply external APO (Address, Parcel, Owner) information. A super agency or its sub agencies may want to use this feature to maintain the minimum APO repository.

Note: Citizen Access only supports external data sources through a web service connection.

For information on configuring the standard choices, refer to the Accela Civic Platform Configuration Reference.
