Bad Address Flag
================

This Condition is located on the **Address** category tab in Search Builder
and allows you to find people who have the Bad Address flag set on their people record.

When a person's address is flagged as Bad Address, the address displays with a
strikethrough in the Business Card section of their people record. You can set or remove
the Bad Address flag by clicking the **pencil icon** beside the address in the
Business Card section.

The Bad Address flag affects the person's **primary** address — either the Family Address
or Personal Address depending on which is set as primary. The Comparison is either
**True** or **False**. Set the value to True to find those with bad addresses, or False to
exclude them from your results.

.. note::
    If you are printing labels or exporting the Bulk (CSV) file,
    those with Bad Address on their record will **not** be included,
    even without this condition in the search itself.
    They *will* be included in other exports,
    so include this Condition if you do not want those included in
    any other type of export.

.. admonition:: Use Case

    If we have members that are not attending and have a Bad Address flag set
    we do not include them in our Resident Membership.
    So, when we determine this number, we exclude from our search anyone with a Bad Address
    flag set to True.
