Adding a default Dataset for a Country

When performing an address search on an empty address on a form, the default country and dataset as specified in the "Configure products" tab of the Configuration page is used as the initial country for the address search. If address fields of a form are already populated and a new address search is performed, then the country of the existing address on the form is used as the initial country for the search. For countries Australia, Ireland and New Zealand that require a dataset to be specified, when a address search is performed on an existing address the PAF dataset will be used for the initial search.

If a dataset other than the PAF dataset should be used for the countries Australia, Ireland and New Zealand when performing address searches on populated address fields of these countries, this dataset can be specified in the Description field of the country option set following the steps below:

1. Go to Customize the system.
2. Click on Option Sets.
3. Double click the Country display name (Name: edq_country).
4. Select the country from the Options list for which the default dataset is to be specified.
5. In the Description field add the comma character "," to the end of the 3 letter country code that will be present.
6. After the comma character add the name of the default dataset (see illustration below where the GNAF dataset has been added as the default dataset for the country Australia).
7. Click Save and Close.
