4. From the Edit Component Display pop-up, select a Display As option:
   • Address Only: A Location text field will appear on the form. Users can type and view an address in the Location text field. If location sharing is enabled on their browser, auto-complete suggestions will appear based on their current location as the user is typing.
   • Map Only: A Map field will appear on the form. Users can select and view a location via pins on a map. If a location hasn't been previously assigned to the object and location sharing is enabled on the user's browser, the map will be centered on the user's current location.
   • Address & Map: A Location text field and a Map field will appear on the form. Users can select and view a location through the Location and Map fields. Selecting a location in the Location field will automatically place a pin on the Map.
