I do not understand how the Master Location list works even though I have consulted both the Manual and the Online Help. E.g., When information is first entered on a new person, I do not know whether to enter the full spelling of the state name or the abbreviation. If I enter the full name of the state, then it seems that the abbreviation should show up on the Short Location Name of the Master Location List but this does not seem to be the case. When I check the Master Location List and Edit, the same long name is listed in both the Long Name and the Short Name sections. What I would like is to enter information with commas, e.g. city,county,state and have this view on the screen but then I would like for information to print out on some reports with the word County after the county name, and with the state name spelled out in full.
The more I have tried to figure this out the more confused I become. Would appreciate any clarification. I want to edit and clean up my Master Location List but can't until I understand what is there and why.
