Feature Overview
- Adds a Search menu > Address (Partial Fields) search link.
- Adds an optional "Search this Address" button to the Address, Adverse Party, and Family Information blocks. These must be enabled by a site administrator in each block.
- Adds an optional "Matches address?" column to conflict search results. This must be enabled by a site administrator.
Addresses Searched: The current primary home address of clients, family members/non-adverse parties, and adverse parties. Client mailing addresses are not searched, nor is client address history if a site is using that feature.
NB: No more than 5,000 results will be returned.
Search by Geocoded Addresses
For sites that have the GIS module enabled, an additional Search menu link is provided. Search > Address (Geocode).
In addition, the buttons that can be enabled in the Address, etc. blocks can be configured to use the geocode search instead of the text-based partial fields search.
Search results display a "Distance in Meters" column instead of a "Quality of Match" column (see screenshot below).
Search results can only return geocoded addresses. Addresses entered before the GIS module was enabled will not be included unless they have been geocoded. See the GIS module link above for information on having existing addresses geocoded.
Search results only include addresses are within 50 meters (by latitude/longitude) of the address searched for. This may be a setting in the future (Ref: LS-116516).
