Associate or dissociate an address with an application record
You can associate one or more addresses with an application. You can add addresses manually, or select an address from the reference database. Your agency can configure Civic Platform to update parcel, owner, structure, or establishment information associated with the address (either automatically or at a prompt) in an application when a user adds or removes the associated address.
To add an address from your reference database

Find and open a record.
-
Select the Addresses tab.
-
Select Look up.

Enter search criteria and select Submit to execute the search.
-
Select each address you want to add.
-
Select Select.
-
If any parcel, owner, structure, or establishment records has an association with the address, one of the following occurs, depending on your agency’s settings:
-
The associated reference data automatically populates the application. If this is the case, you do not receive notification that the data populated until you select Submit in the next step.
-
Associated reference data displays. Select which data you want to add to the application then select Select.
-
If the associated reference data does not populate automatically or there is no prompt, you must manually add the data to the record.
-
-
Select Submit.
You can add an address to a record manually when you do not find it in the reference database.
Note: Civic Platform does not store new addresses that you add from these areas in the reference database. To add a new address to your reference database, see Associate or dissociate an address with an application record.

If an address is no longer relevant to the item or is no longer an association, you can remove it from the application.
