You can select an existing organization record here, OR type in the name of a new organization if this person's employer is not already in your database. However, if you want this person to share their work address with their employer AND that organization doesn't exist yet - leave this field blank and use the Shared Address feature in the Address pane below to create the employer record AND enter the employer address. The 'current employer' relationship will be automatically created for you.

Street Editing

Street Editing

CiviCRM will attempt to split street addresses into separate elements (street number, street name and unit/apt) to help you make lists and reports where you need to sort by street number (and/or separate addresses with odd and even numbers). For most addresses, this is done for you automatically. However, you can manually edit these elements, and potentially handle addresses that are in unusual formats, by clicking 'Edit Address Elements'.
