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.
