Address
What is an Address Field?
Address fields are basic field types designed to store components of a geographical address.
Field Options
Creating or editing a Link Field will have the following options to configure:
Name
This setting allows you to title your Address field. For instance, "Business Address" or "Home Address".
Description
This setting allows you to add an optional description of this field for your own reference.
Field Format for Forms
This setting allows you to configure the individual inputs used to capture data.
By default, an address field will display as "Address, City, State, Zip", and you do not have to make any changes to this formatting section if you would like to keep this default address display.
Optional data inputs for use within an Address field include:
- Address
- Address Line 2
- City
- State
- Zip
- Country
- Latitude & Longitude.
Field Labels
This setting allows you to configure individual labels of the Address field inputs. For example, you can change the label for the "Address" input to display as "Street Address".
Special address field features
Address Fields have several built-in features that are unique to this field type, including a link to Google Maps, address auto-complete, a current location button, and the map component.
Link to Google Maps
When you hover over an address value within a data component, the address will be a clickable link that when clicked will open up in a new window with the location in Google Maps.
Address Auto-Complete
When you begin typing an address within the Address Field box within a form, auto-generated address suggestions will popup based on your input.
Current Location
When adding an Address Field to a form on the page builder, you can customize the Address Field to include a Current Location button which, when clicked, will automatically populate the address of the user's current location within the form.
Map Components
The map component is specifically designed for location referencing and uses Address Fields to geographically track your app's address values.
Address Field Restrictions
If you are using a Custom Domain, you must have your domain whitelisted before you can use Google's auto-complete and geocode capabilities. If your domain is not whitelisted, the address field will appear greyed out and will not work inside of a Form Component.
Address Fields are object fields. Object fields or individual items within an object may not be available for use in across all Tadabase features, such as Rules, Filters, and Automations.
