- The Email Address widget is intended to be very simple to use and is aimed at end-users rather than administrators. It lacks the feature-richness (and therefore complexity) of the email listing currently available in a user's profile page (the Person canvas).
- Email verification takes place immediately when a user adds an email address. A six-character token is sent to the email address supplied by the user using a standard message or a predefined message template. The user must copy the token into the widget to complete the verification process and add the email address. By default, the token has a ten-minute timeout before it expires. The timeout can be changed in the widget's configuration.
- A default email address type can be established in the widget configuration. All addresses added using the widget will be of this type. If no type is configured, email addresses added using the widget will fall back to type "Official".
- The widget may be used in conjunction with the Elector Data Filter Plugin to prioritize which email address will be used during provisioning. By setting the Elector Data Filter to use the default type provided by this widget as the first choice, administrators can prioritize an end-user's choice of email address.
- The widget can be configured (as of Registry 4.3.1) to limit the number of email of addresses that can be added. This allows, for example, the widget to enforce the existence of a single email address of a specific type.
- The widget can be configured (as of Registry 4.3.1) to retain the last remaining email address so that an end-user cannot remove delete it.
- The widget can be configured (as of Registry 4.3.1) to allow a user to replace any email address. When used in conjunction with the "retain last" feature, the widget will ensure that a user can change an email address without first deleting it.
