Address

The Address Field helps you capture detailed location information from respondents. It can collect everything from street addresses to zip codes, making it ideal for registrations, deliveries, and applications.

Adding the Address Field

• Open your form in the editor from the Formester dashboard.
• Click Add Elements.
• Under Personal Fields, select Address.
• The field will appear on your form with standard address input areas.

Basic Settings

• Label: Change the label to match your use case, such as “Home Address,” “Business Location,” or “Shipping Address.”
• Placeholder: Add guiding text like “Enter your address here” to make it easier for respondents.
• Required Toggle: Switch this on if providing an address is mandatory.

Advanced Feature: Address Autocomplete

Formester allows you to enable Address Autocomplete so users can type less while filling out the form.

• Turn on the Autocomplete toggle in the field properties.
• Respondents will see suggestions as they type, powered by smart lookup.
• This reduces errors, speeds up form completion, and ensures more accurate address data.

Best Practices for Using the Address Field

• Ecommerce and Delivery: Collect customer shipping addresses with autocomplete for faster checkout.
• Event Registration: Ask attendees for location details to plan logistics.
• Applications: Use for job or school applications that require permanent or current addresses.
• Client Onboarding: Gather business addresses for records and communication.

Publishing Your Form

• Once configured, click Publish.
• Preview the form to ensure the address field displays correctly.
• Test the autocomplete feature by typing part of an address and checking suggestions.
