Countries

The Countries editor is an administration feature used to add and edit country information stored in the AsCountry table. Add and edit the relationship between a supported country and its applicable Taxable Currency value.

If additional currency code options are needed in the Taxable Currency Code drop-down box, they can be added through the Currency Editor. Once new currency codes have been added and saved through the Currency Editor, they appear as options in the Taxable Currency Code drop-down list.

The Country Editor can be accessed from the Admin Explorer tab in the Administration folder.

Edit or Delete Country Information

When the Country file is checked out, changes can be made to the information. Click in a field to change the Short or Long Name or select an option from the drop down box to choose a new country code or taxable currency code. The field will appear highlighted in green and the Edit box for that row will be checked to indicate that the information has changed. Check in the file to save the changes.

Important

If a row exists in the database, then the Country code and Short name cannot be modified. Those fields will be disabled when the Country file is checked out. If a user needs to change the Country code or Short name, then he must delete the row first and then add a new row with the updated information.

If a row needs to be deleted, click the Delete checkbox. The row will appear highlighted in red. When the file is checked in, the row will be removed.
