Occupant Type

Occupants may be categorized into occupant types such as advertiser, military, senior citizen, student, and so on.

During occupant entry, an occupant type must be entered for each occupant, so at least one occupant type must be defined. Business Rules determine the default occupant type, but it must be set up here. Occupant types can be used in subscriber rating, renewal periods, and Targeted Marketing.

To define an occupant type:

• Select Occupant Type from the Occupant menu to display the Occupant Type screen.

  
• Click the Add icon and complete the following fields.

  Field	Type	What to enter

  DESCRIPTION	open (30)	Enter a description for this occupant type.

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