Mapping Address Fields

The address fields are updated from the My Account page. Under the Configuration tab, expand the “Address Fields Mapping” section. Be sure to save are changes to this section before moving on to other sections.

Before you can map your database fields, you will first need to enter your Wild Apricot API Key so that ApricotMaps can access your custom fields. If you have not set up your API Keys yet, click here for instructions.

The address fields are used to geocode your members’ locations in order to display them on the map and/or provide the ability for proximity searches. The fields that you can map are shown below:

  • Street Address (Optional)
  • City
  • State / Province
  • Zip Code / Post Code / Postal Code
  • Country (Optional)

Setting Up Your Wild Apricot Fields

If you have purchased additional locations for members, you must set up your Wild Apricot database in a specific way. All of the address fields (address, city, state, zip, and country) as well as the phone and summary fields must start with the same prefix such as “Location”, “Office”, or “Store” followed by a space, a number for the current location and a colon (“:”), and then the field name (such as “address” or “city”).

For example, your fields may look like this:

  • Office 1: Address
  • Office 1: City
  • Office 1: State
  • Office 1: Zip
  • Office 1: Country
  • Office 1: Phone
  • Office 1: About Us
  • Office 2: Address
  • Office 2: City
  • Office 2: State
  • Office 2: Zip
  • Office 2: Country
  • Office 1: Phone
  • Office 1: About Us

Note: The “Address”, “Country”, “Phone”, and “Member Summary” fields are optional, they do not need to be set up or mapped in the next step.

Mapping the Address Fields

You will then be presented with a set of text boxes: Location label, Street Address, City, State / Province, Zip Code / Postal Code, Country, Phone, and Member Summary.

The “Location” textbox is where you would put in your field prefix that we setup in the previous step (this is the text before the location number). For the rest of the textboxes, you add the field name that appears after the location number. For example, if the full address field name in Wild Apricot for your first location is “Office 1: Address”, then you would type “Office” in to the “Location label” text box, and type “Address” in to the “Street Address” text box.

Once you are done, click on the Save button.
