The Address input type enables field workers to enter a free-text address as part of a task.

​
What is the Address Input?

Address captures a multi-line text string representing a physical location. Unlike the Coordinate component, Address has no GPS or geofencing features — it is a passive text field that stores whatever the worker types. Use Cases:
  • Delivery address display: Show the customer’s address on the task card and mobile form
  • Import source for geocoding: Provide the address during task import and let the system convert it to coordinates automatically
  • Manual address entry: Allow workers to record a location in plain text when GPS is not required

​
Address Properties

Address component configuration
Address type of input settings:
  1. Title — Component label shown to field workers (e.g., “Customer Address”, “Address User”)
  2. Type of Input — Set to Address
  3. Default Value — Pre-filled address text. A task created with this flow will use this value unless overridden. Supports multiple lines.
  4. Required — If on, the field must be filled before page completion
  5. Visible — Controls display on Create Task (web and mobile) and View Task (mobile).
Address has no Geolock or Geocode settings. Those are configured on the Coordinate component that references this field.

​
How to Configure Address

​
Step 1: Add the Component

In the Flow Builder, click Add Component on the target page. Set Component Type to Input and Type Of Input to Address.

​
Step 2: Set Basic Properties

Enter the component Title (e.g., “Customer Address”). Toggle Required and Visible as needed. Optionally enter a Default Value — this is a multi-line textarea.

​
Step 3: Configure Show As (optional)

In the Configuration section:
  • Set Show As to content — the address text appears as the main description line on the task card in the task list.
  • Set Show As to title — the address text appears as the task’s title (use only when there is no dedicated name field).
  • Set Show As to label — the address appears as a smaller label on the task card.
Address itself requires no additional setup for geocoding. To enable automatic coordinate population from this address:
  1. Add a Coordinate component to the same flow.
  2. Open the Coordinate component’s settings.
  3. Toggle Geocode on and select this Address component in Generate Coordinate From.
Once linked, the Coordinate component drives the relationship — auto-populated during task import when address text is provided.

​
How Address Works in Tasks

When a field worker opens a task on the mobile app:
  1. The Address field shows a multi-line text area with placeholder text
  2. The worker can type freely, or the field may already be populated:
    • From task creation: If the task was created with an address value (e.g., from Data Source or manual entry), the field is pre-filled
  3. The worker can edit the text before completing the page
