Map the Google Address field and Vtiger field #
The Google Places Suggest API gets the details of Street, Route, Area, Locality, City, State, Country, and Postal Code. Mapping fields assign the fetched Google address field to the corresponding Vtiger fields.
The street is the mandatory starting point. You can map your ‘Mailing street’ or ‘Other street’ to this field. Similarly, you can map all the required fields with their corresponding Vtiger fields. Only the mapped fields in the configuration page will autocomplete the selected address fields. The Address lookup extension doesn’t suggest the autocomplete address field for the unmapped fields.
You can define this mapping uniquely for all Vtiger entity modules. You can define any number of mapping fields equal to the address details you collect in individual modules by clicking on Add More. You can manage the mapping by creating, editing, and deleting the mappings. Once done with the configuration and mapping click on Save.
