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 types, for example: Niagara, Durham, etc. The region definitions allow you to set the postal code range or the cities in one region.


These functions are accessible in the "Clients" menu of the software home page.

Region type management

The four default region types are: Region, Tourist region, Administrative region and County.

If you click on the "Region types" option of the "Clients" menu, it is possible to customize the region types by double-clicking on the one you wish to edit (e.g. County).

Region management 003.png

A: Allows you to rename the region type (e.g. rename "County" for "RCM").

B: Allows you to specify how the automations will be programmed for this region type.

C: The regions limits are determined by a postal code range.

D: The regions limits are defined by specific cities and provinces.


Region management

By clicking on the "Regions" option in the "Clients" menu, it is possible to add, remove or edit regions.

Region management 004.png

A: Allows you to add a region.

B: Allows you to edit an existing region. To modify it, you simply need to select the region to be edited, then click on the Button Edit.png button or double-click on the region to modify.

C: Allows you to remove a region. To remove it, you simply need to select the region to be deleted, then click on the Button Minus remove delete.png button.



Region management 005.png

A: Choose one of the four region types.

B: Specify in which country the region is. If the field remains empty, the client's "Country" field should also be empty.

C: Enter the wanted code for the region.

D: Enter the name of the region.


Region definition management

By defining the regions, automations will be created: in a client's file, by only entering the city or the postal code, the given region will automatically appear if it has previously been defined.


By clicking on the "Region definitions" option of the "Clients" menu, it is possible to manage the region definitions.

Region management 006.png

A: Allows you to add a region.

B: Allows you to edit an existing definition. To modify it, you simply need to select the definition to be edited, then click on the Button Edit.png button or double-click on the definition you wish to modify.

C: Allows you to remove a definition. To remove it, you simply need to select the definition to be deleted, then click on the Button Minus remove delete.png button.


Region management 007.png
Region management 008.png

A: Allows you to indicate the type of region to be defined. The type also determines the method to use in E, whether the limits are determined in accordance with a city or with postal codes.

B: The country determines the regions available in C. It is impossible to modify it after  a region.

C: Allows you to specify the region for which the limits will be determined. By entering the reference number, the desired region will appear.

D: If the wanted region has not previously been created, you can create a new one by clicking on the Button add plus.png button.

E: It is with these boxes that the rule to use can be created. To modify the method of defining the regions (By city, province and country or By postal code and country), see Region type management.

In the example on the left, all the clients who live in "St-Catharines" will automatically be attributed the "Niagara" administrative region.

In the example on the right, all the clients having postal codes between L1G 0A0 and L1G 9Z9, will automatically be attributed the "Durham" tourist region.
