In many applications, addresses are administered using the Central Address Administration. Depending on how the address is used, the application uses a particular address type. The addresses are stored in the database tables of the central address administration and identified by the application via a number.

You use the address node to insert an address into the form. This guarantees that the address is formatted according to the postal rules of the sender country.

Your application must administer addresses using the central address administration. Otherwise you must use the text node to insert your addresses.

1. To create an address node, call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that you want to contain the text and choose Create ® Text.



Create the address node as direct successor of the page node or use the context menu in the layout of the Form Painter. You can then position the address anywhere on the page.

2. Enter a unique name for the node and a description (for example, customer address).
3. Determine the address type on the General attributes tab.



For a description of how to determine the address type dynamically and how to use fields instead of fixed values, see Using Parameters in the Form.

4. For organization addresses you must specify only an address number. For any other address types, you must specify a person number and an address number. To do this, use the search help.
5. In the box Additional address specifications you can maintain other attributes to specify how you want to display the address:

1. If desired, you can use the Output Options tab to maintain attributes for style, box, and shading of the text. In addition, you can set values for position and size of the output area (instead of in the Form Painter).
