The left side lists all existing Service Addresses (five at a time). You can page back and forth in the list as needed. The Search fields let you search for a specific address.

The list indicates the current status of each address (Approved/Pending Approval). You may select one or more addresses to link to the Service by clicking the associated Link (paper clip icon). This adds the address to the Selected Addresses to Link list on the right, and changes the paper clip icon to a check mark, indicating this address has been selected.

You can remove a selected address from the list of Selected Addresses to Link by clicking the associated red X.

Notes:

  • Service Addresses are marked as Not MSAG Validated until validation occurs as set up in the IDI Desktop Client.

  • On service types configured to support E-911 in IDI Desktop Client Product Catalog the Service Address view lets you .

    mark a service address as E-911

    For properly configured service types, when you add a service of that type in the Orders web module, you can designate a service address on the service as the E-911 address. When you select the Service Addresses view in the Service Details panel, if a service address has not yet been designated, you’ll see informational text indicating this condition.

    To designate an address, click the edit (pencil) icon. This displays a form for adding one or more service addresses, designating one as the E911 address.

    If there are no service addresses currently listed here, you can add one or more using the + or link icons. The + icon opens Customer Care to the Service Addresses page where you can configure new addresses. If you don’t need to create new ones, click the link icon to display the Link Addresses form. This form lists available addresses that you can link to the new service.

    After selecting one or more addresses, use the Edit Service Addresses view to designate one as the E911 Address.

    Note

    When designating a Service Address as E911, the E911 Class of Service and E911 Service Type default to values set on the service type in IDI Desktop Client Product Catalog. You can override the default values if necessary. This is supported in the Order Management web APIs as of IDI platform version 23.10 and is supported in the Orders user interface as of version 24.1. You can also manage this information in Customer Care.

    To use Order Management web APIs, refer to applicable web API documentation in the IDI Knowledge Center. How to manage this information in Orders is described below.

    Overriding E911 Class of Service and Service Type in Orders

    The designated E911 address will have two additional drop-down menus for overriding the default Type of Service and Class of Service selections.

    If you change a default selection, the Undo Override control lets you revert to the default value.

    On saving, overridden values are shown in red.
