Address Format (Employee)

The Address Format screen is displayed as a property of a Country. It controls the presentation of addresses within this country on the web UI. The same format is used when presenting addresses in a single line format (for example, lists) and when presenting addresses using a multi-line format (for example, property pages).

Properties

The page has several sections:

Country

Identification information for the country. View only.

Address Configuration

Editable lines that allow you to modify the configuration of the address format for the applicable country. See the following sections for definition of each keyword and applicable notes.

Multi-Line Address (Current Configuration)

Supports an icon that allows you to navigate to the common address page. This section formats the address from the common address page using the existing address format for the applicable country, using the multi-line address presentation format.

Single Line Address (Current Configuration)

Presents the address from the common address page (accessed using the icon in the Multi-Line Address (Current Configuration) section) using the existing address format for the applicable country and the single line address presentation format.

Multi-Line Address (Proposed Configuration)

Presents the address from the common address page (accessed using the icon in the Multi-Line Address (Current Configuration) section) using the address configuration currently defined for the country, as specified in the Address Configuration section. This section formats the address using the multi-line address presentation format. The address displayed in this section is recomputed when you click the Refresh icon.

Single Line Address (Proposed Configuration)

Presents the address from the common address page (accessed using the icon in the Multi-Line Address (Current Configuration) section) using the address configuration currently defined for the country, as specified in the Address Configuration section. This section formats the address using the single line address presentation format. The address displayed in this section is recomputed when you click the Refresh icon (in the header for the Multi-Line Address (Proposed Configuration) section).

Notes:

Any other literals (characters or string of characters) are displayed "as is".
If multiple blank spaces exist between codes or literals on the same line, the address formatting leaves that number of blank spaces between the two address components.
If a literal is not separated from a control by one or more spaces (both before and after), this string is displayed immediately before or after the corresponding address component only when this address component is not blank.
If the literal is separated from controls by at least one space (both before and after), it is always displayed.
If a literal both immediately follows one control and immediately precedes another (for example, #Unit#-#Block# where the dash is the literal), the address formatting displays the literal when the address component represented by the previous control is not null.
To reduce the number of characters required to present address information on lists, consider removing the country from the address format for countries where the state or province code is sufficient to identify the location. For example: For the United States, you could remove the country code from the address format, because the state code is sufficient to identify locations.
