Edit Organization Name & Address

Note: When you edit Organization contact information, be aware that clicking the Save button can start the update of potentially thousands of related mailing label records. To address this problem, you can set a threshold of the number of records NetForum updates when you click the Save button. When the number of records to update exceeds the threshold, NetForum automatically starts a Scheduled Task to update all of the related mailing label records in the background. See the Edit Organization and Address Linking topic for complete information, and go to the UpdateRelatedIndividualMailingLabelsTaskThreshold system option to change the number of this threshold.

The edit name & address button opens the Organization Name & Address Information page in which you can edit the following:

On most iWeb and eWeb forms where an address is entered, the address inputs and labels are now configured for each country's naming convention and field order through the use of a special Address Sub-form for each country. Once you select a country, the address sub-form for that particular country appears. When a specific country is selected, for example, data values in other drop-down menus will change based upon that country (such as provinces, states, and regions) as well as how and where those fields may be displayed. The intent is to facilitate data entry for you and your customers based on the customer location.
