Address Pickers

Address pickers help us categorize or locate where specific data points are in relation to the Philippines. Nominally based on the administrative regions as published by the Philippines Statistic Authority (PSA), it is one of the core functionalities that allow OHASIS to work as it is.

#Components

The address picker component is used to convey three primary sets of information:

• City/Municipality
• Province
• Region

At the back-end, they are represented as Philippines Standard Geographic Codes (PSGC), composed of nine-character length strings set by the PSA.

A text field is also added if there are additional information regarding the address that doesn't fit into the aforementioned fields.

#Province and Municipality

Options are formatted into:

• First row - the name of the city or municipality
• Last row - the province where the chosen municipality is located

#Region

The administrative region where the province & municipality fall under. Automatically filled based on the Province & Municipality that was previously chosen.

If you interact with this field first, it will filter the Province & Municipality options to only those inside its administrative boundaries.

#Text Address

Text field you can indicate additional information regarding the address. This could range from Blocks, Lots, Buildings, Floors, etc. This could also be used to indicate venues when asking for location.

#Data Structure
