Add a Region
A region is a major subdivision of a country. Region choices depend on which country is selected; only a region that is associated with a particular country can be chosen when that country is selected. For each country you have entered in the system, add at least one region.
1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Database under Configure System.
2. In the "Geographic Information" section, select Region.
3. From the menu select Add New Region and click the Add button. (To edit an existing region, select its country and name from the menus and click the View button; then click Update This Information.)
4. Enter or edit the Name of the region.
5. Select the Country in which the region is located.
6. Enter a Code for the region (optional).
7. Click Confirm and confirm that the region entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.
Troubleshooting
An error message appears when the Confirm button is clicked.
Check that a region with the same name has not already been entered for that country. There cannot be two regions with the same name in the same country. Also make sure that the region name was entered and its country was selected -- these fields are required. Required fields are outlined in red. Fill in the missing information and try saving again. If you do not want to add the region after all, click Return (do not save changes).
The country name is not available for selection.
Under the "Country" menu, click Add New and add the country. Then click Administer Database and follow the steps above to add the new region. You will have to re-enter any information that you previously entered for the region.
