General Description

The "Address Validation" Custom Field allows you to automatically populate a set of address fields using the stored address locations for contacts associated with a Level 2 record.

For example, if you have 4 people listed in the Contacts section of the Level 2 entity, clicking on the Lookup button associated with the Address Validation field would display a list of the addresses associated with these 4 contacts.

It displays two buttons, 'Lookup' (To Lookup the Address) and 'Map' (for online mapping service like Google or Map quest), for user interaction.

address, city, province, postal code

OR
