Address

The Address field collects valid address information from your form users.

Built up a service offered by the Australian Government or Google Places data providers, Advanced Forms' address search feature can:

  • Improve the accuracy of address data.

  • Reduce address entry errors.

  • Simplify the address entry experience on mobile.

  • Reduce the time it takes to complete a form.

Basic setup

  1. Type the field question or name.

  2. (Optional) Select if answering this question is compulsory.

  3. Select an address format: Australia or International (displays an extra field for the country).

  4. (Optional) Edit the sub-field names to suit your requirement.

    For example, you may want form users to enter their street address, city, and postcode into separate sub-field.

    Alternatively, you may want the full address entered into one sub-field.

  5. (Optional) Clear the Included? checkbox to remove unnecessary sub-fields from your form.

Advanced Forms' address search feature displays a list of address suggestions when a form user begins typing in an address field.

When you enable this feature, a surcharge per address selection (by form users) will be billed to your account.

Surcharges vary depending on the address data provider you choose.

  2. Select the box if you agree to the Address Search Surcharge.
