The topics in this section describe the base-package zones that appear on this tab.
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.
Each name designates a name type. The name type includes base values of Alias, Alternate Representation, Doing Business As, Legal, or Primary name.
Whether a single Person Name or separate name constituents are displayed, depends on the business object. Refer to Person Names for more information.
Person Phone numbers are used to capture phone numbers for the person categorized by a phone type. Phone extensions may also be defined.
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 ID may be required or optional. The person ID usage flag on the installation record indicates whether at least one id for a person is required or optional.
If your ID type is configured with a formatting algorithm, the expected format is displayed. If this format includes separators like hyphens, you do not have to enter the hyphens. Enter the information as a contiguous value and the system will format this for you using the formatting algorithm.
Masking sensitive data. Certain types of person identifiers are sensitive information that should be protected for privacy reasons. The system provides a mechanism for masking this type of data. Refer to Encryption and Masking for more information.
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.
This zone displays historical addresses for the person.
This zone displays a map of the addresses associated with the person.
