Invalid Address
Concepts
When overdue mailers and other mailed notices are returned to the library as undeliverable due to a bad address/addressee unknown, library staff should indicate that the patron address is invalid. This will:
- Omit those patrons from future print notice reports
- Insert an (Invalid Address) indicator in the patron summary
- Highlight the patron address in red in the patron summary

At the patron's next library visit, staff should update the address.
Procedure
- Open the PatronAccount
- Click Edit
- Scroll down to the Address section

- Click Save
- If you get an "standing penalty unknown" alert, click OK
- Click Refresh to view the (invalid address) note

Do not attempt to delete the bad address - the system will not save the record with no address attached.
When the patron comes in and verifies the correct address, update the old address or add a new address - make sure the correct address is marked Valid.
Update with the correct address
Add the correct address as a new address, then delete the invalid address.
