Country - Main

To add or review Country definitions choose Admin Menu > Country .

The Main page is used to customize the fields and field descriptions that will be displayed everywhere addresses are used in the system. This ensures that the all addresses conform to the customary address format and conventions of the particular country you have defined.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Country and Description for the country.

The address fields that appear in the Main page are localization options that are used to customize address formats so that they conform to address requirements around the world. By turning on an address field, you make that field available everywhere addresses for this country are used in the system. You can enter your own descriptions for the labels that suffix each switch; these labels will appear wherever addresses are maintained in the system.

Note: For any country where the State switch is checked, the valid states for the country must be entered on the Country - State tab. When entering address constituents on a record that captures this detail, the value for State is verified against the data in the State table. For any country where there is a component of the address that represents a "state" but your implementation does not want to populate the valid states for that country, choose a different field such as County for this constituent (and define an appropriate label). When entering address constituents on a record that captures this detail, no validation is done for the County column.
