Add and associate addresses
When you search for an address when creating a new application, you are searching a database of stored addresses that you can associate with applications. Depending on your privileges, you may be able to create new reference addresses as well as modify existing address records in the database. See Find and add reference addresses on the Addresses page for more information.
You can also associate an address with a parcel, a contact, an application, and more. For more information, see:
Find and add reference addresses on the Addresses page
Use the Addresses page to search for, edit, or add addresses to the reference database. You cannot delete addresses from the reference database after you add them. However, you can disable an address, which prevents users from associating that address with new applications, while preserving any existing association of the address in an application.
Note: The ability to add or edit reference addresses to the database is dependent on your user privileges. If you do not have sufficient privileges, you can add an address to an application manually (see Add and associate addresses).
