Required Address Fields

The Required Address Fields form enables you to fine-tune the Address OK functionality used during batch printing. Using the settings in this form, you can tell Collect! which fields are mandatory.

When determining if an address is "OK" to print in your daily letter batch, Collect! will use these settings. This lets you set your required address lines easily in one place rather than relying solely on the "Address OK" switch on each account. This minimizes user error and saves you time.

Required Address Fields

If one of the fields you specify as required is empty, Collect! will treat the letter contact as an " Address not OK" account, even if the "Address OK" switch is ON. The letter will not be printed, skipped letter will be logged to notes and the letter contact will stay "In Progress."

You can easily enable or disable this feature with a switch in the Required Address Fields form.

Enable Required Address Filter

Switch this ON with a check mark to use the settings in this form when printing your daily letter batch. Collect! will use these settings to determine whether or not an address is "OK" to print to. If one of the required address lines is blank, Collect! will consider this as " Address not OK" and will skip the letter, even if "Address OK" on the Debtor form is switched ON.

Switch this OFF to use the "Address OK" switch on each account instead. With this switch OFF, Collect! will rely solely on the "Address OK" switch to determine whether or not a letter is OK to print.

Summary

The Required Address Fields settings enable you to easily monitor printing to good addresses, without relying on the Address OK setting on the Debtor form. You can easily set the fields that you consider mandatory for printing. This ensures you that letters will not be printed to any bad addresses.

Required Address Fields settings have NO effect on Letter Service batches. Letter Service functionality continues to rely solely on the "Address OK' settings, when printing to unverified addresses, for instance.
