System Updates

Update 1120 3 January 2025

A new attribute is available in System > HOPS Config Settings which determines which is the most appropriate word to use an in address: 'county', 'state', 'area'. Eg the majority of railways in England/Wales may prefer 'county', in Scotland 'area' will most likely be preferred, and in Australia 'state' may be best. Each railway can make its own choice. Addresses are being standardised as: Field 1 - street Field 2 - town/city Field 3 - county / area / state (as determined by the new attribute) Field 4 - post code / zip code. Changing the attribute in HOPS Config only changes the LABEL of the field on forms etc, it doesn't change any data in the field itself. We will almost certainly have missed some places in the system where address field are sticking to their old labels. If you find them please let us know. Thank you.
