Reactivate a person's old address

The system retains each address that was recorded on a person profile to build a history of the person's addresses. Only inactive addresses appear on the Person Address History screen.

The system allows only one address of a particular type to be active at a time. When you reactivate an old address of the same type as an active address, the system automatically end-dates the previous address and makes the reactivated address the primary address. The previous address then appears on the Person Address History screen. However, if the addresses are of different types, they appear as active addresses on the Person Address screen, and there is no change to the primary address indicator.

Reactivate an old address as follows:

1. Click the search header link to find the person record for the person.

2. In the Person Overview screen, click the Person Profile link. The Basic tab of the profile appears.

3. Click the Address tab. The Person Address screen appears.

4. Click the View Address History link above the Person Address grid. The Person Address History screen appears.

5. Click the reactivate link for the address record you want to use as the person's primary address.
   
   You are returned to the Person Address screen. The address you reactivated appears in the address listing. If there was an active address of the same type, the system end-dates it and moves it to the Person Address History screen.
