Using the Internet Address text box in the Personal Data Record

In the next CAMS-ii Release, we will be adding a text-messaging feature for members using Internet Branching E-alerts that uses the Internet Address text box in the Personal Data Record. When we add this feature, we will not delete the data that resides in the Internet Address text box; however, this text box will be renamed on the screen to Text Message Address and will be maintainable only by the member via Internet Branching. It also will become a view-only text box accessible via Personal Data Inquiry and Maintenance.

Previously, CAMS-ii has not used the information in the Internet Address text box, so using that text box has not been an issue. If you have been using the Internet Address text box in the Personal Data Maintenance for other information, we recommend that you note the information, clear the Internet Address text box, and discontinue using it.

As we approach the activation date for the text-messaging feature, we will provide more information about it.
