Address captures a street address as free text over several lines. On its own it has no map; pair it with a Coordinate to get the position. Use cases
  • Delivery address shown on the task and in the task list.
  • Source for a coordinate: import tasks with only an address and let the coordinate be found for you.
  • Manual address: record a location in words when GPS is not needed.

Properties

Address properties
  1. Default Value: an address filled in for every new task. It can span several lines.
  2. Visible: when off, the field is hidden on the web and the field app; its value is still kept and exported.
  3. Required: the task cannot be saved or finished until an address is entered.
  4. Fill a coordinate from this address: pick the Coordinate component this address writes into. The same link can also be set from the Coordinate’s Geocode switch.
  5. Show As: show the address in the task list as the task’s Title, Content or Label. Content is the usual choice.
  6. Route As (Initial page only): pass the address to route planning as the visit’s Address.

Address and coordinate

When an address is linked to a coordinate, the coordinate is found from the address whenever a task is created with an address but no coordinate, for example in an import. You do not need to type coordinates.

​
On the field app

The field shows a multi-line text box. It can already be filled from task creation, from a data source or from the Default Value, and the worker can edit it before finishing the page.
