• Set As Default Address enables you to switch to another default address.
• Set As Default to Structure enables you to set the selected address as default address on all objects in the underlying structure. This option is active when the current value for default address is Yes and when the selected address exist on the child objects. A common procedure is to first Set Address to Structure and then select Set As Default to Structure.
• Create Location for Address enables you to create a new location and apply on the selected address line. This option is active when the address line is not connected to a location.

The following right-mouse options are available in the window header:

• Set Address to Structure copies all addresses on the current object to all underlying objects in the structure.
• Remove Structure Address removes all addresses on objects in the underlying structure that inherited from the parent object. This does not removes any manually added addresses on the objects. There should be one default address line and situations where default address is removing from Remove Structure Address, the very first address found on the child object, sets as the default address.

The information provided for the fields Contact and Phone No will be fetch to the work order created for the object which the address is belong to. Prepare Work Order/CO Information/Contact Information field will be updated with the information defined in Address for Object window, if there is no manually entered details for this field.
