How do I configure address regions for accounts and contacts?

You use the Address object in Application Composer and the Manage Address Formats task in Setup and Maintenance to configure address regions for accounts and contacts.

You can add or remove custom fields or standard fields (such as Type, D-U-N-S Number, Site Name, Site Number, and so on) in the address region.

Note: Use Application Composer to add or remove fields in the address region. We recommend that you don’t use the Page Composer for this purpose.

Location-specific fields (such as Address Line1, Address Line2, City, State, Postal Code, and so on) need to be managed using the Manage Address Formats task in Setup and Maintenance. The fields configured in the Manage Address Formats task can't be managed using the Application Composer.

When creating or editing accounts or contacts, salespeople can't save addresses by entering only address fields – they must also enter location-specific fields. This rule applies to both standard and custom mandatory attributes on the Address object that have been exposed using Application Composer.

To display the address region in a collapsed manner, select the Disclosed option of the address component on the page composer.
