This is the area where you enter personal data about the individual, or family information.
The area has six areas for data input, which are as follows:
This is an area where you should spend some time reviewing the
information that would be presented to users of this directory.
Some of descriptions have been provided but they are not all-inclusive.
They are meant to help you get started for the implementation of your directory.
From a security standpoint you should limit the number of people who have access
to update and/or add information to the address area. The following descriptions
of each area will be to highlight those fields that you might have questions.
Name
The following is a picture of name fields.
Most of the fields listed are self-explanatory. The fields I will comment on are:
- Slogan or Tag Line
- First Name
- Display Name
- Nick Name
The name fields are best shown in the following example:
Joe is entered in the first name field, Joseph in the display field and he likes to be called "Lucky".
Address
There are two areas defined for address information.
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Home address.
There are two areas that should be mentioned.
 This function is to define
which address will be placed first and second when it is

The following shows how it will be displayed:
If you place your cursor over the Icon in front of the phone number, it will display if this home, cell, work, etc.

the email note with jallen as the recipient.
Office Address
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Office address.
The fields for the office address are similar to the Home Address area.
The slogan is associated with the Organization Name field. As an example, if your organization
were IBM you might put their motto of "THINK" in the slogan field.
If this were done, it would appear as:
Personal Information
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Personal Information.
All fields in this area do not really need any explanation. The only item you should be aware of is

they will appear above the displayed photo with different last names. Here is an example:
If you are unsure of the field definitions and usage, you should click on the  Icon.
Privacy Level
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Privacy Level.
The radio buttons are set for one of the three options. The "Private, only I can see it" means
that the person who created/updated this record is the only person who can view the information in
this record. Each record in the address area can have its own privacy designation. As an example,
John Doe could be private to this organization/directory and Jane Doe could be public.
This means a guest logging into your directory could see Jane Doe and her address information,
but could never see John Doe and his address information.
Ownership
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Ownership.
Enter the userid of the person that you would like to own this record. All records owned by a given invidual can be updated by that individual.
Groups
The following is a picture of the fields associated with the Groups.
In this area you define which groups using the check box, if any, this individual belongs to.
You can define a new group in this area and it will update the master records in the database with the new group.
