Procedure:View the list of geographies for a specific geography type in the selected country, and add geographies as needed. For example, for the State geography type in the United States, you would define the list of US states.
The geography type for the geographies that you want to view and define must be already added to the country structure. See: Defining Country Structures.
Procedure:Add geographies that are not already on the list. The entered name and code are, by default, the primary name and code for that geography. Primary names and codes are displayed to users.
Note: Specify a code type, if known, and leave User Entered as the data provider, as you are manually entering in the geographies.
If you currently have no geographies to enter for this geography type, but do have geographies for any lower level in the country structure, then select Geographies Unknown for This Level and go to Step 4.
Update specific geographies to provide more information, for example to enter additional names or code, or select another as primary. See: Updating Geographies.
As needed, delete geographies to inactivate them, only if the geography does not have active geographies in the subsequent level of the country structure.
Note: All child geographies of the geography that you are inactivating are no longer valid. You cannot view or update those geographies. For example, inactivating a county invalidates all its cities and postal codes, as well as any user-defined zones within that county.
If there is a subsequent level in the country structure, click View Details to view and define geographies for the next geography type. For example, State is a parent of County in the United States country structure, and you are currently viewing the list of states. You can click View Details for California for the list of counties within that state.
