Region management

Introduction

In the software, there are three notions related to regions: region types, regions, region definitions.

Region types allow you to specify the kind of regions, for example: administrative region, tourist region, etc. The regions allow you to build the regions list and to specify their type, for example: Niagara, Durham, etc. The region definition allows you to set the postal codes interval or the cities in one region.
