You can save a contact’s address to their Bio.

When you save a contact’s address using the in-built Address field on Makerble, the contact’s address can be displayed on a map.

The in-built Address field is only compatible with contacts that use classic Contact Forms, not contacts that use Custom Forms for Contacts

Save the address while creating a new contact

Makerble’s in-built Address field must have been added to the Contact Form you are using to create the contact

Save the address while editing an existing contact

Follow the steps

  1. Find the contact you want to save an address for (click the hyperlink to see a variety of ways to do this)

  2. You arrive on their profile

  3. Click the Edit Bio button

  4. You arrive on the Edit Bio page

  5. Look for the Address field in the form that is shown on their Bio

  6. If the form on their Bio does not already contain the Address field, there are two options:

    1. Option 1: If there are other Forms saved to the contact’s Bio:

      1. Select one of those other forms (e.g. the New Client form - in the example below)

      2. Let it load

      3. See if the Address field is on that form

      4. If it is, populate it

      5. If it is not, select another of those forms

    2. Option 2: If there are no Forms saved to the contact’s Bio (or if none of the existing Forms from Option 1 contain the Address field), you can add another Contact Form to the contact:

      1. Press the Add another Contact Form button

      2. Select a new Contact Form

      3. Press save

      4. That form is now saved to the contact

      5. Select that form

      6. It loads

      7. Now you can populate the Address field

  7. Scroll to the bottom of the page and press Save
