Hi everyone,
I have a list of patrons with a winter address in Florida. Is there a report that will let me choose to export this optional address instead of the patrons' primary address for the whole list?
Thank you,
Josh Wright
Do these addresses have their own address type? That might be a way that you can isolate just those addresses.
Thanks,
Marie

Thanks Marie! The address all have the same address type, but none of these addresses are the primary address for these records. I can build a list using the shared address type, but don't know how to export that list with this specific non-primary address type. The reports and output sets I've tried just export the primary address.
Thanks so much,
Josh
Reports and utilities that output addresses (including the Execute an Output Set report) have parameters meant to help you select winter addresses, but they are based on address purpose or address active dates. Would either of those two options work for you in this circumstance?
If not, you’ll have to add a new output set element for address that has a parameter for address type (or have an IT resource pull these addresses for you from the back end).

Being able to use the other address types might be a system admin issue. When I choose address type in “List Manager” I have access to all my address types. He/she may need to give you access to be able to pull the other address types.

Thank you Marie and Kevin. I'll work with my IT staff to build a new output set element that contains a parameter for the address type. Thanks again.
Kevin,
I am running in to this issue - i need an output that pulls all available options of our address types, NOT just the primary address. I don't see this option in the output recipe book - and we do not have IT support at our org, and cannot afford consulting - is there an output set recipe that you have for this, OR is there another way for me to get this info about my constituents via list/extraction or output set that I'm just not aware of?
Thank you!
Hi Kelly! Kevin asked me to reply on his behalf. I suggest you implement the Emails by Type recipe. If you use this element without the filter applied, it will return all active email addresses for a constituent.
Thanks Michael! I was looking for mailing addresses- will this idea used for the emails work for trying to build the output for address types too?
Oh I'm sorry, I read too fast! Postal addresses are really similar to emails, just a few more fields.
Add a row to TR_QUERY_ELEMENT_GROUP with a Description of "Address – Multiple Output" (or however you'd like to label it), a Data From to VS_ADDRESS, a Data Where of !.inactive <> 'Y' and a Category of Address Information.
Then add 5 rows to TR_QUERY_ELEMENT (for street 1, street 2, city, state, and postal code):
Thanks again Michael Flaherty-Wilcoxtwo questions - do i need to create anything under: TR_QUERY_ELEMENT_PARAMETER? Also with the TR_QUERY_ELEMENT - should i select single row?
is there a way to have it note what "type" the address is pulling from or can I create an output filter for that? if so - what's a suggestion on creating an output filter? Thank you again for your help!
Do not mark any of the rows as "single row" for this situation.
Yes, you can make an output filter for address type. Add a row to TR_QUERY_ELEMENT_PARAMETER as follows:
Description: Address TypeGroup Id: Address – Multiple OutputFilter Element: address_typeData Type: StringRef Tbl: VRS_ADDRESS_TYPERef Idcol: idRef Desccol: descriptionRef Sort: description
Outputting the name of the address type along with this data requires a slightly different query. Hopefully the filter is what you need, but let me know.
this is absolutely perfect! thank you so much for your help Michael Flaherty-Wilcox! It is much appreciated!
