An example of the Building Address tab focusedImage Added

The 'Building ID' and 'Community Name' fields may be used for internal identification of a Building on an organization's campus. The Community Name is one of the columns in the NENA2 911 format. We provide this field on the building to allow you to control that column in your 911 feed. If you do not specify anything in the Community Name field, the 911 puts the City name in that column of the feed.

The E911 fields are provided if the configuration option USE_E911ENENA2_FIELDS is turned on. These are the fields used for the E911 file export.

The Street Address fields are used for normal postal code Addresses.
