The Address field allows you to enter and validate addresses. The Address field is also capable of auto-completely, displaying the entered address directly inside a Google map.
In addition to its validation capabilities, the address field is important for tracking geographic information. SmartSuite offers view types such as map view, which allows users to show any address from a record on a map. Map View automatically recognizes Address fields in the Table.

Examples of Use
Inside Automations
Because the Address field is a compound field type, it allows you to selectively choose individual components within the field for automation conditions and seamlessly incorporate them when mapping the field in various actions.
Customer Relationship Management
Map accounts, contacts, and opportunities to geographies.
Real Estate & Property Management
Track attributes of physical properties and link to work orders, maintenance histories, improvements and more.
Addresses & Grouping
Address fields provide a dash of power when grouping in saved views. You're able to group by each element of the Address field - Street, Suite / Apt / Blvd, City, State, Zip, and Country.
View records by City & State, or any permutation of a location.
Address Autocomplete
SmartSuite performs a real-time search via Google Maps when you begin typing addresses. Just click the right address as it appears and we will autocomplete the rest of the field values.
