Using Addresses in Accounts
To assist in planning day-to-day activities, users can maintain multiple addresses for each person or business account. Addresses are stored in the address__v object.
If a user is leaving for a call with an HCP, she can select the HCP’s account, navigate to his address, and select Send to Maps. Her navigation system automatically launches to direct her to the HCP.
State Licenses for Sampling are also stored on the Address object.

To ensure users do not inadvertently schedule a call for an inactive account, the inactive__v field on the address__v object provides a mechanism to filter addresses available for selection on a Call Report and in My Schedule on the Browser (Classic) platform. If the inactive__v field is selected for an address, the Address record does not display on either screen.
Locking Address Records
To maintain data integrity and prevent conflicting information when account addresses are managed through integrations, the lock__v field on the address__v object enables organizations to prevent end users from editing the address_line_1__v field or deleting an address.
To prevent users from editing or deleting an Address record, select the lock__v check box on the record. The lock__v check box can also be set through data loading.
Ensure the lock__v field is not displayed on address__v layouts.
Online, a system administrator or a user with Modify All Data privileges can still edit or delete addresses that have the lock__v field selected. Offline, the Address Line 1 field is always read only.
Using Maps for Addresses
The map__v formula field on the address__v object sets Google Maps as the default application for opening addresses from Vault CRM. To open address links using a different external website by default, edit the map__v field’s formula text.
