Create, associate, or delete reference addresses for a contact
Civic Platform provides the ability to build associations between contacts and reference addresses (see Reference addresses). You can create a reference address for a contact or add an existing reference address to a contact.
If you create a reference address from the Contacts page, you can search for and apply the reference address as normal reference address, as if you had created it created from the Reference address page.
To add a new reference address to a contact
-
From the Contacts page, find and open the desired contact by clicking the link in the Reference contact ID column.
Note: The Contacts page may have its own main link or be grouped with the APO pages.
-
Select the Address tab.
-
Select New.
-
Complete the required fields and others as needed. See Contacts details.
-
Select Submit.
If a reference address already exists in the system, you can search for it and apply it to a contact.
