For each address, phone number, or email address recorded, a type must be selected, e.g., private, business, home. The first address, phone number, or email address entered is the primary one, but this can be changed after registration. The primary address, web address, phone number, or email address is displayed throughout the application. Address records are optional for prospects and representatives, but mandatory for all other participant types.
Address information is maintained for historical purposes. When modifying an address, the system creates a clone. This ensures that all address details are retained over time. For example, a payment can be sent to a person's address. When that person moves, the system will clone the address details as part of the modifying process. A link is maintained between the payment and the actual address where the payment was issued to.
