==General Description==
The "Address ValidationLookup" [[Custom Field]] allows you to automatically populate a set of address fields using the addresses stored within your copy of [[SmartSimple]] for the contacts associated with a Level 2 record.
For example, if you have 2 people listed in the '''Contacts''' section of the Level 2 entity, clicking on the '''Lookup''' button associated with the '''Address ValidationLookup''' field would display a list of all addresses associated with these 2 contacts. It will display the address listed for the contact, the address of the company the contact belongs to, as well as the addresses of any companies with which the contact is [[Associates|associated]].
A '''Map''' button is also displayed next to the '''Lookup''' button which will display the location of the selected address using the online mapping service you have selected in your [[Default User Settings|User Settings]] (such as ''Google Maps'' or ''MapQuest'').
1. Create either 4 or 5 [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] of the type [[Custom Field Type: Text – Single Line|Text Box - Single Line]] to store the Address, City, Province, Country (optional) and Postal Code. They can be given any name you wish.
2. Create another [[Custom Field|Custom Field]] of the type '''Address ValidationLookup'''.
3. In the '''Field IDs''' section of the Address Validation Lookup field, enter the [[Custom Field|custom field]] IDs of the address, city, province, country (if used) and postal code fields created above, in one of the following sequences:
:''address,city,province,postal code''
If you have enabled and subscribed to the [[Address Validation]] service from [[SmartSimple]] then a further feature is available for this [[Custom Field]] type.
In the '''Lookup Source''' section of the '''Address ValidationLookup''' custom field you can include ''address'', either alone or with the ''contacts'' and ''assigned'' fields as described above.
