Dwelling Status

A dwelling status must be entered for each address during address entry, so at least one dwelling status must be defined. Dwelling status can also be used as a selection criterion in Targeted Marketing. For example, you might want to send a flyer only to addresses with a dwelling status of “occupied”.

Business Rules determine the default dwelling status that will appear when an address is added (the default can be overridden).

To define a dwelling status:

• Select Dwelling Status from the Address menu to display the Dwelling Status screen.

  
• Click the Add icon and complete the following fields.

  Field	Type	What to enter
  DWELLING STATUS	open (8)	Enter a dwelling status ID, such as “vacant” or “occupied,” that indicates the status of a building at an address.
  DESCRIPTION	open (30)	Enter a description for this dwelling status.
  RECEIVE TM	yes/no	Indicate if addresses with this dwelling status can receive Targeted Marketing products. For example, you may define a dwelling status of “vacant” and indicate that TM products should not be delivered to these addresses.

• Click OK to save the dwelling status in the database or Add Another to save the existing record and add another dwelling status.
