2.    Click Create New Subgroup (as highlighted in image above).
The New Customer Creation screen displays, as shown below.

3.    The Constituent ID is generated automatically, but can be changed if desired.

4.    Select the Constituent Class.
The values in this drop-down menu are populated based on the non-fixed CUSTOMER_CLASS system type for the CUS subsystem.

5.    Select the constituent's Address Type.
By default, Home is selected. The values in this drop-down menu are populated based on the non-fixed ADDRESS_TYPE system type for the CUS subsystem.

6.    Enter the Sub-Group name and Prefix.

7.    From the Primary Contact section, select the primary contact by clicking the Constituent ID link and searching for a primary constituent, if necessary.

8.    By default, the Link Primary Contact Address To Subgroup Address checkbox is selected if you added a primary contact and the Address fields in the Address section automatically populated with the selected contact's address information. If necessary, uncheck this checkbox if you do NOT want to link the primary address of the selected primary contact to the subgroup address.

9.    In the Address section, click the Attention link to open the Customer Chooser.
Search for and select a customer to be added as the Attention line on mailing labels.

10.  Enter the subgroup's Job Title, if necessary.

11.  Enter a Personal Line and/or Mail Stop, if necessary.
The personal line and mail stop are extra ways identifying the customer for mail routing. Depending on the address structure defined by your organization, these may be used on mailing labels.

Note.pngIf you selected a Primary Contact and the Link Primary Contact Address to Subgroup Address checkbox is selected, the address fields are automatically populated and are read-only, as shown below. Proceed to step 16.

12.  Enter the subgroup's Address Line 1.

Note.pngAlthough the address fields are required, if you selected the Address Type "BLANK", the system will allow you to save the new constituent without entering an address.

13.  If necessary, enter Address Line 2, Address Line 3, and/or Address Line 4.

14.  Enter the subgroup's Zip Code.
If more than one city exists for the entered zip code, a pop-up will display from which you can select the appropriate city.

15.  If the system found the zip code entered, the City and State fields will be automatically populated. Otherwise, enter the City and click the State link to search for and select the appropriate state.

16.  If necessary, enter the County.

17.  Select the Country from the drop-down menu.

Note.pngWhen an address is created for a constituent that owns the address, an entry is created in the CUS_Address_Details table and the CUS_Address table. When a linked address is created for a constituent, an entry is created in the CUS_Address_Details table. You cannot link an address for an individual once an unlinked address is saved because the CUS_Address table will not be properly updated.

18.  If the new subgroup's information should be published in any base directory reports, whether printed or published on the Web (e.g., XBT1202), select the Publish in Directory checkbox.
When unchecked, the e-Business Member Directory web part excludes this new subgroup information.

19.  Enter the priority in which the address will be listed in the directory in the Directory Priority field.

20.  If the new subgroup is the default bill-to customer for all orders, select the Default Bill-to checkbox.

21.  If the new subgroup is the default ship-to customer for all orders, select the Default Ship-to checkbox.

22.  If the new subgroup does NOT want their address to display on base roster reports (e.g., MBR1212PE), select the Confidential checkbox.

I would change the first sentence to this: When defining contact information for a constituent, phone, email, web/social media, and fax communication methods can be marked as “Include in Directory”. Additionally, address communication methods can be marked as “Confidential”. In the back office, all online roster and directory reports where the last character in the report name is “E” (for external), respect the “Confidential” and “Include in Directory” definition for the listed constituents’ communication methods. For example, if John Smith has his personal mobile phone number marked as not to be included in the directory, that number will not be included in the MBR1200PE report.

For example, MBR1200CE and MBR1200PE. MBR1200CE means it is a report that lists companies first (hence the “C” in MBR1200CE), then the employees, and finally, it is an external report (hence the “E” in MBR1200CE). This means that its intended audience is people outside the organization. MBR1200PE means it is a report that lists individuals (hence the “P” for “professionals” in MBR1200E), and it is intended to be viewed by people outside the organization (hence the “E” for “external” in MBR1200P. The confidential flag is ignored on internal reports, which are reports that have an “I” as the last character in their name (e.g., MBR1200C and MBR1200PI.

The “confidential” flag is also respected in the mobile member directory.

23.  To link this subgroup to a different address, click Link to Different Address. The Address Chooser screen displays. Click an address to select it. Since you are creating the subgroup, no other address will be present to select. If you want to add another address to link the subgroup to, click Create a New Address from the Address Chooser screen. Additional address can also be created by clicking Add Additional Address on the New Customer Creation screen. The Add Additional Customer Address screen displays as shown below.
