Customizing Address Forms

You can tailor address entry and display for various business needs and countries by using custom address forms. For information about creating custom address forms or for details about script permissions, see the following topics:

• Creating a Custom Address Form

• Change to Required Permission for Attaching Scripts to Custom Address Forms

Custom address forms can be used to support address format localization for international customers, and unique business requirements for all customers. A standard address form is provided for all accounts and assigned by default to all countries. Account administrators and other users with the Custom Address Form permission can create as many customized versions of the address form as needed, and assign each custom address form to one or more countries.

When users view or edit addresses on entity, transaction, subsidiary, company information, location, and workplace records, the custom address form assigned to the selected country is the one that displays in the popup address window. Custom address forms inherit the permissions set on the parent record.

Custom address forms support the following capabilities:

• Multiple custom address forms supported per account

• Assignment of custom address forms to countries

• Addition of custom fields to custom address forms (For details, see Creating Custom Address Fields.)

• Rearrangement of standard and custom address fields on forms

• Hiding nonrequired address fields

• Setting address fields to be required

• Setting address fields display type to be normal, inline text, or disabled

• Customized labels for address fields

• Customized formatting for addresses displayed in UI and printed on shipping labels

• Form-level client scripting
