Create address type groups and associate address types

You can specify the Address type group code name to associate with the application type. The purpose is to set the types of addresses you can use or add to an application type. Specify an Address type group code name to enable Civic Platform to restrict an application type to only those specific address types listed in the Group code name. For more information on associating an address to an application type, seeCreate and configure new record types.

You can set an application type, for example, new commercial building permit, to allow users to only add Street address types and Parcel address types to it. A user could also search for those same application types based on the address type.

The available Address types are controlled by the values specified in the REF_ADDRESS_TYPE standard choice.

Create an address type group and associate address types

You can create new Address type groups as needed.

Address type group names display in the Address type group code list when a user creates or edits an application type. You define address types to enable users to only associate those unique address types to certain application types.
