Establishing Address Usages
To establish address usages, use the Address Usage Table component (ADDR_USAGE_TABLE).
This section provides an overview of address usages, and discusses how to define or review address usages.
Addresses are as fundamental as names to tracking people in your database. It is important to be able to maintain multiple addresses and phone numbers for an individual, including electronic addresses and campus locations.
Define sets of address types that you routinely want to search for and use for a specific business purpose. For example, if you're sending an admissions letter, you might want to use the individual's home address for the correspondence. If no data exists for the home address type, you might want to search for and use the individual's mailing address. If no data exists for the mailing address, you might want to search for and use the individual's permanent address type, and so on.
You can enter specific campus addresses and physical locations (headquarters, satellite campuses, and remote recruiting offices) to indicate where to contact students or staff at your institution or to specify locations where classes and other events are held.

Enter either the usage type (for example, Address or Email) to identify how the address type to search for is used. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. Except for Home and Mail, you can modify these translate values.
