==General Description==
The '''Address Lookup''' [[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 <u>'''Level 2'''</u> 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 Lookup''' 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'').
