State Codes

State (or province) information may be used when specifying mailing addresses as part of OPERA profiles. States are also used when creating districts — geographical designations that provide flexibility in reporting, data collection, and marketing campaigns. (See Districts for details.)

Select Configuration>Profiles>Geographical Data>States to access the State Codes screen. Use this screen to add and edit state codes for countries for which states or provinces are configured. In order to configure states, you must have already configured the country to which the states belong.

Note: Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Spain, and United States are pre-configured with state/province and postal code information via OPERA SID data.
