    Utilization of attribute category

    So you know where I'm at, open the address tab, then open a specific address, move to the attribute tab, now that we're here.  How do others utilize the attribute category in address?  Please share your experience and benefits utilizing this area?  If you have a procedure would you share it with me?  Thank you in advance.

    We use it to define why an address may have been changed.

    We use these attributes to designate an address that should be used for a specific mailing. For example, if somebody wants their pledge reminders sent to their business address.

    We don't have that many, though.

    We used to use it like Bruce.  For example, a patron would say I want all my newsletters to go to my country address, but then all my event invitation to go to my London address (neither of which would be preferred!). 

    The address attributes come into play when you are doing address processing in either query or export or using one of the Mail tasks.

    I also use for why it was changed, alto I also do this in notes aswell with keyword ADDRESSES, just because if a address gets completely deleted it would remove the attribute as well.

     I use an attribute as (table additional info:   if member wishes us to use just a POB and not street and we have both - I enter both street and POB.

     Also found it worthwhile if to have for change dates:  ie (table I set up would be CHG DATE info)     ie:  (date) was 6/1 thru 7/1
