Basic configuration of the suburb field

This example shows how to add a new New Zealand address field named Suburb to PolicyCenter and ContactManager. The example configures classes, entities, and configuration files that support address fields so the new field can be used in the user interface and be available for autofill and autocompletion.

This example is not a full example showing how to perform a complete localization configuration, but rather focuses on configuring the new address field to work in ContactManager and PolicyCenter. After configuration, if you edit a contact’s address and set the country to New Zealand, you will be able to use the Suburb field.

Note: Except where the instructions say explicitly to work only in ContactManager or only in PolicyCenter, do everything in both ContactManager and PolicyCenter.
