Setting Up Traditional Place Names in Reference Tables

The first step in setting up the Traditional Place Names in Chintaro, is to assign each City with it's appropriate place name.

NOTE: Traditional place names are not set up by Chintaro by default, as traditional place names do not corresponds directly with postcodes, so users will need to determine what traditional place name to provide each entry in the City table.  Chintaro have attempted to contact Australia Post for their list of traditional place names with postcodes to no avail. If you have more information about linking traditional place names to cities, please contact support@chintaro.com.au 

From Home > System Maintenance > Reference Tables > City. The Traditional Place Name column appears in the middle of the screen:

For each city you would like to add the traditional place name for, select the appropriate place name from the drop down list, or if it's no included in this list, you can add it directly in by typing into the field:

Repeat for all cities you would like to include a traditional place name for and close the table when completed.

Why isn't a Traditional Place Name showing on a Word Merge or Tenancy Statement?

The 2 reasons why a traditional place name wouldn't be showing on a word merge is either:

1. You have not added the place name to the city table (see Setting Up Traditional Place Names in Reference Tables), or
2. You have not added the field to a word merge (see Adding the Traditional Place Name field to a Word Merge)

Is the traditional place name isn't showing on a statement, it has not been added to the city table (see Setting Up Traditional Place Names in Reference Tables)
