Districts
Districts are user-definable groupings of geographical areas within a country. (Countries may be grouped within Regions. See Regions for details.) Districts may be used to provide flexibility in reporting, data collection, and marketing campaigns.
How the districts you set up here are managed depends on whether the country has been configured with states (or provinces). If states have been configured for the country, you may set up districts that consist of the following combinations:
For example, for the US, one district might include the cities of Chicago IL, North Chicago IL, and Racine WI. Another district might include the entire state of Delaware, the city of Philadelphia PA, and postal codes 08101 through 08104 in Camden NJ.
If the country has not been configured using states, you may set up districts that consist of any cities within a country. For example, a district could be set up for the Netherlands consisting of the cities of Rotterdam and Delft.
See Cities and Postal Codes for more information on configuring the geographical areas included in a district.
To set up districts, select Configuration > Profiles > Geographical Data > Districts. The Districts screen appears.
