Define general preferences (address format) for Intermediate Organizations

Your intermediate organization's general preferences include the address format for the organization an entity that contains one or more schools and all schools attached to it. These preferences are only accessible from the intermediate organization's preferences.

To define general preferences for an intermediate organization:

1. Log on to the Intermediate Organization view, click the associated tab. Then, on the Setup side-tab, click Preferences.

   The Preferences page appears:

2. Select the Basic tab.
3. At the Address Line 1, Address Line 2, Address Line 3 fields, click to select a regular validation expression. This determines how the parts of an entered address are formatted and parsed into the appropriate fields to display the address for the selected organization or locale (U.S., Europe, Japan, military, etc.) For example, intermediate organizations might have a different address format than the root organization. These could be used for sorting addresses and grid codes.

   See Validating address format.

4. Select the Advanced tab.
5. If you select the Limit to organization checkbox, when a user looks up an address at an address field, Aspen limits the display to only those addresses in the user's intermediate organization.
   

   Enabling this preference affects:

   • Student > Details (Parent/Guardian Information)
   • Student > Contacts > Details
   • Staff > Details

6. Click Save.
