Entity Information Screen
Click the name of an entity from the Entity List to open the record.
Info
Click the Addresses icon to edit or add addresses to the entity record.
Use the drop-down menus to choose the address type and state, then enter the information and any comments you may have in the text boxes provided. Click Save.
This page may include the following address types:
- Principal Address—The primary place of business for an entity. When you add a new party that is subordinate to an entity, the entity’s principal address is used to auto-populate the party’s address. If any portion of this address is different for the party, that section can be changed without impacting the entity’s record. Parties only have one address field.
- Mailing Address—This is a more “individual” address. Whereas the principal address may be a post office box, this address may be used for face-to-face deliveries (court documents, etc.).
- Agent Address—Sometimes an entity may be represented by a third-party individual or firm (i.e. law firm, agent of service, etc.). This address should be used when it would not be appropriate to contact the entity directly.
Note: "Address Types" are defined by your site administrator. The examples above are not used by all customers. Parties only have one address field; the other fields apply to entities only.
Use the text boxes to enter information and comments. Drop-down menus are included to select entity association (see below) and country.
When you are finished, click Save.
