The Address tool allows the user to enter information about a location but also to geolocate. Thus, the user is not obliged to enter GPS coordinates.
The options for the Address element
Once you have inserted the Address element into your form, access its options by clicking on the icon:
They are divided into the tabs Features, Visibility, Display, Advanced and Help.
Let's have a look at them in detail!
The Features tab
- The default title is Address but you can change it if you wish.
- All sub-fields are automatically selected, so uncheck those you do not need.
- The Mandatory Entry option: by checking this box, you make the entry of the Address element mandatory in order to be able to record the data. On the mobile application, as on the back office, a red star is displayed. It applies to the selected sub-fields when it is activated, but you can deactivate it on some of them by clicking on
Tip: Changing the title after the first save of the element does not affect the tag in the Help tab.
The Visibility tab
As with all field types, you can :
- Set one or more visibility conditions: the field is only displayed if the condition(s) are met. The condition(s) apply to the whole field and not to sub-fields.
- If Field always hidden is checked: the field is always hidden when the data is entered.
- Unchecked: the field is always visible during data entry.
Warning: Remember to check the option Show hidden fields on your export files if you have chosen to hide the field systematically or conditionally.
The Display tab
This tab allows you to customise the display of the field on the mobile application. The following options are available to you:
- Remain on the same line while displaying on the mobile: this option allows two fields to be displayed side by side when entering data, provided you have activated the Allow multiple fields to be displayed on one line option in the mobile application's settings.
