- On an OLOF with a Service Address Information section, you need to validate the service address in order to submit the form, even it you have already validated the address when you saved the form earlier.

- By default, Lumen Connect uses your profile information to fill in the primary contact information. If you change the primary contact email address, make sure to sue a valid address. Invalid email addresses will cause the OLOF to change to Failed status.
- Some OLOFs may give you different fields, depending on the action you select. For example, the TDM Voice Toll Free OLOF for a disconnect will have fewer sections, because it only needs a list of toll‑free numbers that are to be disconnected.
