Person - Main Information

The topics in this section describe the base-package zones that appear on this tab.

Person Zone

The Person zone contains display-only information about the Person.

The information displayed in the zone is dictated by the business object linked to the person's person type. However, the expectation is that standard information about the person such as names, IDs, phone numbers and addresses are maintained. The following points highlight some of the standard functionality provided in base product business objects. Your implementation's person information or user interface behavior may differ slightly.

Person Names are used as a primary way to identify a person and are used by most searches throughout the system to find information for an account or person.

Person Phone numbers are used to capture phone numbers for the person categorized by a phone type. Phone extensions may also be defined.

Note: Formatting is performed by a plug-in. The format that is applied to a Phone Number is controlled by the algorithm that is plugged in on the respective Phone Type. If you prefer a different format, your system administrator should configure this algorithm appropriately.

The Person's ID collection allows for one or more identifiers to be associated with a person. Many person searches in the system support searching by the primary identifier. Note the following additional points about person IDs:

Person Addresses may be defined if the person type has configured valid address types.

Please see the zone's help text for additional information about the data displayed in the person.

Address History Zone

This zone displays historical addresses for the person.

Map Zone

This zone displays a map of the addresses associated with the person.
