Introduction
In the software, there are three notions related to regions : " Region Types ", " Regions " and " Region Definitions ".
" Region Types " allow you to specify the kind of regions, for example: administrative region, touristic region, etc. The " Regions " allow you to build the regions list and to specify their types, for example: Niagara, Durham, etc. The " Region Definitions " allow you to set up the postal code range or the cities on one region.
| These functions are all accessible in the " Clients " menu of the software's home page. |
