# Address

An address captured as separate fields rather than one line of text, so that the parts can be used independently afterwards.

## Why structured

A single text box gets you an address you can print and nothing else. Captured as fields, you can raise a job against the property, put just the postcode into a lookup, or address a letter properly.

Each field can be shown or hidden, and required or not, so the same question type serves both a full correspondence address and a postcode-only one.

## Using the answer

One field at a time with [Item](/reference/expression-reference/text-expressions/item.md), or the whole thing assembled for a letter with the [address functions](/reference/expression-reference/address-functions.md) — AddrFull, AddrName, AddrMain and AddrSalutation.
