Foreign Address Support

The Address screen was enhanced to support foreign addresses. New address format definitions are driven by the combination of address type and country.

Address Type + Country = Address screen format

Configuration Requirements

The following configuration considerations apply when configuring the Address screen to support foreign addresses.

<AllowExpiration>: This element dictates whether or not the EffectiveDate and ExpirationDate Fixed Fields are visible and used on the Address Screen.
<DisplayFormat>: This element will dictate how the address is displayed in the AddressScreen summary table, ClientSearchScreen Results table and DisbursementDisplay screen.
Fields with DataType = Date: Specific date formats can now be configured using the FORMAT attribute of the <DataType> element, and translation records configured in AsTranslation table.
CopyToAddressScreen business rule (attached to a transaction): This validates whether or not fields configured within the <To> element actually exist in the AddressScreen business rule configuration. If not, a system error will be generated.

The following existing features will persist:

<Expanded> element for Fixed and Dynamic Fields
Default address in Address Summary table cannot be deleted
CopyBooks are functional
Events are functional

Note: A complete explanation of the elements and attributes used to configure the Address screen is provided in the XML Configuration Guide. Select Help | XML Configuration Guide | Business Rules | Screen Rules.
