Hi,

I just realized that I can't add any other fields to the mailing lables than the one that are primarily defined. Is this correct? I need the organisation field. It often happens that many organisations are in the same building. Therefore it would be wise to be able to put the organisation name with the label.

Many thanks,

Damien

Damien:

To display Organization Name you need to add token {contact.name}.  Help tooltip will list you all available tokens.

As a temporary solution to this problem I've found that I can include the organization name as the Supplemental Address #1 or 2, and then change the mailing label format so that that shows up after the contact name.  It's a little more inputting into the individual contact files, but works wonderfully afterwards!

Is this still a problem in the current release. I haven't had to do such a mailout yet but if I do it will cause major problems.

Other option would be if a could specify that when adding a contact to a group, I could specify which address to use, and thereby make up another address that has this workaround in it, then when I want to do a mailout i can set up groups that specify it should use the 'mailing' address which would include the organisational Name and Dept in Address1.

Awesome!
