Pop Up Menu:  Address Detail Maintenance:  Block 1:  Contact Detail

The first of these blocks (contact detail) serves as the key to the two subsequent blocks (namely address and telephone detail fig 1). The contact represents the Person / student / employer / debtor etc. for which addresses and / or telephone detail is carried on the system. Each contact for a particular person / student / employer / debtor etc. has a contact sequence number: this makes the contact unique to the particular person / student / employer / debtor etc. This number is used for identifying the addresses and / or telephone detail for the contact in question. The default Contact sequence = '0' always refers to the person / student /  employer / debtor etc. themselves - Primary contact.   

This primary contact is created automatically by the system for the particular reference number (person / student / employer / debtor etc.). The primary indicator may not be altered for the primary contact; nor may the contact type.

Pop Menu:  Address Detail Maintenance:  Block 2:  Address/Communication 

The next block contains the address / communication information for the contact selected. Each address / communication record must always be linked to a particular contact via the contact sequence number. Multiple addresses / communication detail can be linked to one contact sequence number. Each address / communication is linked to a user-defined address / communication type: this is, in turn, linked to a reference type group key (this specifies the reference group to which a particular address type belongs - Postal address for the student system). This pre-determined ITS reference key groups the common address details together (i.e. all the postal addresses for a contact). The address reference types are created and linked to a pre-defined address reference group on {GCS-24 or GCS-25} in the standard codes system for the relevant ITS system.

This primary contact is created automatically by the system for the particular reference number (person / student / employer / debtor etc.). The primary indicator may not be altered for the primary contact; nor may the contact type.
