New Data Definitions Page
A new Data Definitions page lets you manage address codes, alternate contact types, phone carriers, phone masks, and phone types associated with contact information for individuals/ organizations in J1 Web and Desktop.
Alternate contact types, phone carriers, phone masks, and phone types are new definitions available the new phone and alternate contact information fields on the Address tabs in J1 Desktop. For more information, see the Desktop, Common, Enhancements section.
Note
Address codes were previously managed in J1 Desktop.
Many of these definitions are used with the new phone and alternate contact information fields on the Address tabs in J1 Desktop. For more information, see the Desktop, Common, Enhancements section.
Prioritization options let you determine the order the system will use to find and utilize definitions as well as what order the options will appear in when being selected from a drop-down.
Notice
If the *CUR (Current) address information is designated the highest priority and *LHP (Legal/Home/Permanent) the second highest priority, then when communications go out, the system uses the contact information associated with a recipient's current record. If it isn't there, then the system uses the information associated with their legal/home/permanent record.
Several of these definition options support new contact information available in J1 Desktop for J1 2021.1. For more information, see the J1 Desktop, Common section.
