| Available |
Select to activate the corresponding address field and its label for inclusion as part of the standard address format for this country. When they are entering addresses, users enter a country code, and the system updates the page to display the fields that are appropriate for the specified country. Note: To hide the field for a given country, you must both clear the Available field and blank out the Label field. |
| Label |
Enter field labels to configure the address format so that it conforms to the country’s address requirements. For example, if you enter Province or Department in the state label field, this value appears as the label of the field on the address page instead of State. |
| Postal Search |
Select this check box to activate postal searching functionality for Dutch, Japanese, or UK addresses. For the UK, when you select this check box, the system makes the fields that are in the PeopleSoft GB Systems Information group box available for entry. |
GB (Great Britain) System Information
This group box is used for UK addresses. It displays only if you have the Information Management Toolkit installed and configured. With this GB Information Management application installed, you can look up UK addresses by entering a postcode and, optionally, a house name or number.
