The following table describes the application parameters for the CUS and MRM subsystem. Prior to working with customers, you need to define the Parameter Value for each applicable parameter. For more information on application parameters, please see Setting Up Application Parameters.
Parameter |
Default Value |
Description |
---|---|---|
ADDR_VALIDATION_PIP_ATTRIBUTES |
Cong_Dist |
As of 7.5.2, this is a comma separated list of attributes which the PBBI Point In Polygon service returns from the server.
With every Point In Polygon database provided by PBBI, the attributes returned by the service are listed in the accompanying documentation. Those attributes should be comma separated in this parameter to enable the data to be returned back to the corresponding Personify columns.
With the base delivery, Cong_Dist is returned by default. If any additional fields are needed, the APIs would need to be modified to allow Personify to save the data.
If you want to use additional columns, you need to add the columns to this parameter list, make the columns available in the dataflow service via the Enterprise Designer, and override the “ValidateAddress” function in the CustomerAddress API in the clients Customer Layer, as shown below. Dim strColumnValues As String = CType(oAddressResponse, TIMSS.Server.CDQP.Messages.UserDefinedAddressValidationResponse).UserNeededColumnValues If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(strColumnValues) Then Dim iCount As Short For Each strColValue As String In strColumnValues.Split(",") iCount += 1 Select Case iCount Case 1 CongressionalDistrict = strColValue ‘Need to add different cases here. End Select Next End If

ADDR_VALIDATION_PIP_DB_NAME |
CON112013 |
Identifies the database name for the Point In Polygon stage.
The Point In Polygon stage runs against a Database provided by PBBI. If the user defined address validation service has a Point In polygon stage, then this parameter must have the name of the Point In Polygon DB.
For more information on congressional districts, please see Installing Congressional Districts. |
ValidateAddressGeocodeUSAddress |
Identifies the user defined service name for address validation.
If a user wants to change the address validation logic they would need to create their own address validation service and provide the name of the service in this parameter. They would also need to update the ADDR_VALIDATION_PIP_DB_NAME and ADDR_VALIDATION_PIP_ATTRIBUTES if there is a Point In Polygon stage in the service. The CUS530 dataflow uses the ValidateAddressGeocodeUSAddress service. If you want to use a different service for the front-end address validation, you can set that service here, but CUS530 will continue to use ValidateAddressGeocodeUSAddress. For more information on congressional districts, please see Installing Congressional Districts. |
|

Y |
Enables a duplicate primary email address check for a customer. For more information on duplicates, please see the Duplicate Customers section. As of 7.5.2, this parameter will determine on the Guest Email Lookup, Membership Join Registration, Membership Join User Already Exists, Registration, and User Already Exists controls in e-Business whether the same email address can be shared by multiple web users. If you set this parameter to 'N" (you allow duplicate emails), multiple users can share the same email address. In addition, if you allow web users to share the same email address, you should NOT set the application parameter WEBUSERNAME_FORMAT to "CUSTOMER_EMAIL_ADDRESS". |
|
COMMITTEE |
Determines the relationship type used to create the hierarchal tree. You can enter either a committee, corporation, or subgroup. In addition, if you create a new relationship type, you need to add it here, so the relationship tree will be created. |
|

3 |
Indicates the number of years back that the system should calculate engagement score points and spending. Calculations start on the first of the year. For example, if this is set to 3, the system will calculate points and spending starting on January 1st of the current year minus 3. If the current year is 2015, the calculations for points and spending will select orders and activities that occurred on or after January 1, 2012. Base is delivered with this set to "3". |
|
N |

|
CUSTOMER_ID_LENGTH |
12 |
Length of the customer ID. Please note that once this value has been set, it can not be changed. In addition, as a best practice, this should not be set to a low value (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.). As of 7.4.2, the MKT500 process looks at this parameter and supports Master Customer IDs with the number of characters defined here. |
DEDUP |
SOUNDEX |
Selects the criteria based on the functionality you use to identify a duplicate customer using the CUS590 process. You can enter either SOUNDEX or PHONETIC. These options are methods by which to establish duplicate criteria when you run the CUS590 process. Soundex is less restrictive and will produce more potential duplicates, whereas Phonetic is more restrictive and will produce less potential duplicates. See Soundex vs. Phonetic for more information. |
DEDUP_CDQPSERVICE |
DuplicateMatching- [Database Name]-PDQASQL |
This is the name of a service published in CDQP, which will be used for fetching duplicate records and uses the dedup logic. Please note that the service name is CASE sensitive. For more information on duplicates, please see the Duplicate Customers section. |
DEFAULT_BILL_PRIMARY_EMPLOYER |
N |
When new customers are created, the system will automatically default the "Bill Primary Employer" checkbox to checked on the Demographics screen in CRM360. For every new order for this customer, the current primary employer relationship customer will be the bill-to customer on the order. |
DUPADDRESSCHECK |
N |
If set to "N", the Merge Verified Duplicates (CUS595) batch process moves the CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL and CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL_KEY_LINE records from the duplicate company customer to the retained company customer.
If set to "Y", the Merge Verified Duplicates (CUS595) batch process deletes both the CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL and CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL_KEY_LINE records from the duplicate company customer which causes the CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL and CUS_ADDRESS_DETAIL_KEY_LINE record for the individual customer to be updated with the CUS_ADDRESS_ID of the retained company customer. |
EXISTING_CUSTOMER_NEW_EMPLOYER_RULE |
KEEP |
This identifies whether existing employment relationship(s) to other company(ies) should be ended or kept when a group manager selects an existing customer as an employee and creates a new employment relationship for him/her. See Customer Segmentation for more information.
If this parameter is set to "END", the other employment relationship is ended. In addition, if the selected customer had a linked address to a company where the employment relationship is being ended, the linked address is marked as BAD and the Cus_Address_Detail.MANUAL_BAD_STATUS_FLAG is set to Y. Set this parameter to "KEEP" to leave the existing employment relationships as is. |
INCLUDE_PREFIX_IN_LABELNAME |
Y |
If set to "Y", the customer's Prefix, which is defined on the Individual Name Edit screen, will be included in the formatted label name, which displays on the Individual Name Edit screen, in the header on CRM360, and on the Add/Edit Address screen. Please note that changing this application parameter will only affect new records, not existing. |
MAINTAIN_ADDR_KEY_LINE_ID_DAYS |
90 |
Identifies the minimum number of days that the unique address key line ID will be maintained.
For customers using the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) Address Change Service, the USPS requires that the organization maintain a unique identifier for the address for at least 45 days; therefore, the value in this parameter should not be set less than 45. Base is delivered with this value set to 90, so that organizations have plenty of time to process Address Change Service data received from the post office. In Personify, the unique address identifier is the address key line ID (Cus_Address_Detail_Key_Line.CURRENT_KEY_LINE_ID). |
MAX_ADDR_KEY_LINE_ID_LENGTH |
6 |
The length of the unique identifier for a customer?s address that is used by the U.S. Postal Service's Address Change Service.
Customers using the U.S. Postal Service's Address Change Service are required to generate Intelligent Mail barcodes that contain, among other values, a 2-part number consisting of a unique sequence-number identifier for the customer's address and the organization?s mailer id account number. This 2-part number must equal 15 digits in length. The mailer ID is either a 6-digit number or a 9-digit number, which means that the unique customer-address sequence-number identifier must either be 6 digits or 9 digits. Most Personify customers do not generate enough mail to qualify for a 6-digit mailer ID account number, so most Personify customers have 9-digit mailer ID account numbers, meaning that the unique sequence-number identifier for customer addresses must be 6 digits. The only valid values for this parameter are 6 or 9. |
N |
Identifies whether the organization tracks multiple concurrent employers for individuals. Base is delivered with this set to N; set to Y to enable a workflow in back office and on the web that allows a different employer to be selected to be associated with orders. Used when engagement scores for companies includes employee points rolled up to the employer company. |
|
Y |
If set to “Y,” the system will check for potential duplicate customers when creating a new customer or, as of 7.5.0, when converting a prospect into a customer. If potential duplicate customers are found, the Potential Duplicate Customers window displays. For more information, please see Identifying Potential Duplicate Customers. This application parameter applies to the back office ONLY. In order to turn on duplicate customer checking on the web, you must set the GroupOneDupMatching parameter in the config.web to "True". By default, customer duplicate checking is disabled for the web. |
|
ORDERVIEWMONTHLIMIT |
6 |
Number of months to go back for open orders. The orders display on the Order History tab of the Call Center screen. |
PRIMARY_ADDR_PROPAGATION |
NONE |
When the primary address of a customer is changed from one address to another, this parameter is used to determine how the new primary address should be propagated to current and unfulfilled orders that refer to the previous primary address.
Enter AUTO, SELECT or NONE. When this parameter is set to AUTO, when users make a change to their primary address, the system will automatically propagate primary address changes to current and unfulfilled orders that refer to the previous primary address. When this parameter is set to SELECT, when users make a change to their primary address, you will be presented with a screen showing all current orders using the previous primary address and you manually select the orders to be updated. The default is NONE.
As a best practice, set this parameter to AUTO. |
PRIMARY_FAMILY_CONTACT_DESIGNATION |
Primary Family Contact |
Identifies the term to be used to describe a primary family contact; for example, Head of Household, Family Bill-to Contact, etc. The term entered here will be displayed as the caption for the primary family contact person. In the base application, this is set as "Primary Family Contact". |

If set to "Y", the system will
require that each new individual or company customer record that
is created must have at least one record in the Cus_Constituent_Role
table. If set to N, an individual or company record is not
required to have a record in Cus_Constituent_Role. If the organization wishes to require that each individual or company customer record have at least one Cus_Constituent_Role record, the organization will need to create a record for each existing individual and company record before setting the value of this parameter to Y. |
