Option Overview
- Options are used to customize or tailor our Global Address Complete to your specific needs. In the code it is the second parameter to the Address control object when setting up the integration.
Address Control Object
var DOTSGlobalAddressComplete= new so.Address(fields, options);
- Options allow for some customization of the results that are returned. For example, setting setBiasToIP to true will bias the returned results to the users location as determined by their IP address
Options*
var options = { key: CustomKey, setBiasToIP: true };
- *In some newer Javascript frameworks, the “options” field will need be explicitly named options and created as a global variable i.e. “window.options = { key: CustomKey, setBiasToIP: true };”
