Who This Is For / When to Use
Use this when you want to:
Speed up form completion by letting users select an address suggestion.
Reduce typos and formatting errors in address data.
Control whether users must pick a suggested address or can type manually.
What Address Autocomplete Does
When Auto-Complete Address is enabled on an Address field:
The user searches for an address in the search bar.
When they select a suggestion, Kyrios auto-populates the available address fields (for example: Street Address, City, State, Postal Code, Country).
Users can still review or edit visible fields depending on your form setup.
What Mandatory Search Bar Does
Mandatory Search Bar controls whether the user must select an address suggestion.
ON (Enabled):
If the user clicks into the address search bar, they must select a suggestion from the list to proceed.OFF (Disabled):
Users can type the address manually, even if they do not select a suggestion.
Use Mandatory Search Bar = OFF if you expect users might enter addresses that don’t appear in the autocomplete database (for example: brand-new construction).
Add the Address Field to a Form
Go to Forms and open the form you want to edit.
In the form builder, click the Add element (+) icon.
From the element list, select Address to add it to your form.
Enable Address Autocomplete and Mandatory Search Bar
Click the Address field on your form to open its settings panel.
In the settings panel, expand Auto Complete Address.
Toggle Auto-Complete Address to ON.
(Optional) Toggle Mandatory Search Bar to ON if you want users to be required to select a suggested address.
Click Save and test the form.
Customize Which Address Fields Display
You can control which address fields appear on the form (for example: Street Address, City, State, Country, Postal Code).
Common setups:
Search bar only: Hide the individual address fields and rely on the search bar for entry.
Search bar + fields: Keep all fields visible while still using autocomplete to populate them.
This is useful when you want users to confirm or adjust details after selecting a suggestion.
Common Issues and Fixes
Users can’t continue after typing an address
Cause: Mandatory Search Bar is enabled and the user did not select a suggestion.
Fix: Either (1) instruct users to select a suggested address, or (2) turn Mandatory Search Bar off if manual entry should be allowed.
A valid address isn’t showing in suggestions
Cause: The address may not exist in the autocomplete database yet (common with new builds).
Fix: Turn Mandatory Search Bar off so users can manually enter the address.
Address fields don’t populate after selection
Cause: The fields may be hidden or not enabled for display, depending on your Address field configuration.
Fix: Ensure the relevant address fields (Street, City, State, Postal Code, Country) are enabled and visible if you want users to see them populate.
FAQ
Can I enable Address Autocomplete without making the search bar mandatory?
Yes. Turn Auto-Complete Address ON and leave Mandatory Search Bar OFF.
What happens if a user types an address without selecting a suggestion?
If Mandatory Search Bar is ON, they can’t proceed until they select a suggested address. If it’s OFF, they can submit with a manually typed address.
Will this feature work for international addresses?
Yes. Address autocomplete supports international addresses based on the available address database.
Can I hide specific address fields (Street, City, etc.)?
Yes. You can choose which address fields display and optionally rely only on the search bar.
Do these changes apply automatically to all forms and surveys?
No. These settings apply to each form where you configure the Address field. If multiple forms use an Address field, update the configuration in each form as needed.
What are the benefits of using Address Autocomplete and Mandatory Search Bar?
These features reduce manual typing, improve address accuracy, and give you control over whether users must select a validated suggestion.
Can I show all the individual address fields while still using the autocomplete feature?
Yes. You can keep all address fields visible and still use the search bar to auto-populate them after a suggestion is selected.
What should a user do if their specific address doesn't appear in the search bar?
If Mandatory Search Bar is ON and the address is not in the suggestion list, the user may be unable to continue. In those cases, keep Mandatory Search Bar OFF so users can manually type their address.
