When you download a primary or preferred address from a profile update form, the Primary address tab displays the constituent’s primary address and allows you to edit specific information.
Note: This tab appears when users submit primary addresses from profile update forms that you create in Forms and when users submit preferred addresses from profile update forms that you create in Parts.
Under Process, select the information to use to update the primary address in your database. To select or clear all, click Select All or Clear All.
The Field column is disabled and displays the fields from the profile update form on your website. The Changed from column is disabled and displays the information for the field before the site user updated the profile. The New value column displays the data that users submit in the fields. You can edit entries in this column as necessary, such as to correct misspelled words or edit formats to meet your organization’s data entry standards.
Note: If the site user logs in to your website and is linked to a constituent in your database, only new or changed detail information appears.
If the website user is linked to a constituent record in your database, the System value column displays the applicable information that already exists for the constituent so you can compare it to the downloaded information. In the Action column, you can view whether the site user added or updated the information on your profile update form.
If the information is new, the site user is new, or the site user or accesses the form without logging in to your website, “Added” indicates that the site user added this information.
If the site user logs in to your website and updates information that automatically appears on the profile update form, “Changed” indicates that the information contains updated data.
If the website user is linked to a constituent record, specify how to use the downloaded address information.
To replace the existing address on the constituent record with address information from the website, select Overwrite the existing address. The current date is assigned as the start date for the address.
To save the existing address and create a new address with the information from your website, select Create a new address. To designate this new address as the constituent's primary address, select Make this new address the primaryaddress.
When you create a new address, the current date is automatically assigned as the start date for that address. If the website user edited an existing address and you opt to save it as a new address to avoid overwriting the existing address information, then the current date is assigned as the start date for the new address and also assigned as the end date for the existing address.
