Extending Set Functionality

You can enhance the basic set functionality of record, parcel, address, and licensed professional set types by including the ability to incorporate conditions, comments, and the execution of scripts on set members.

To implement the functions described in this section, refer to "Processing Sets' in theCivic Platform User Guide.

Topics

Enabling Set Conditions

Civic Platform can simultaneously associate a condition with record, parcel, address, and licensed professional set members, and provide the same owner functionality for the set members as it does for individual records, parcels, addresses, and licensed professionals. Civic Platform displays these conditions on the Conditions tab for the set.

Civic Platform applies and enforces conditions on all Civic Platform data, regardless of whether your agency stores address, parcel, owner (APO) or licensed professional data in a Civic Platform database or external APO database.

You can configure a spell checker to display under all text fields.

Executing Set Scripts
