Import Postal Codes

The Import Postal Codes utility, Utilities > Data > Import Postal Codes, can only be run by a user with the correct permission. When running this utility, all of the old postal codes for the selected country are deleted, then the new and up-to-date postal codes are imported into OPERA.

Note: We recommend that this utility be run on a limited basis, as it may take a while for the process to complete. When selecting the OK button, a message saying, Uploading postal codes can take a while. Do you want to continue? reminds the user that this utility is time consuming.

A sample file called sample_postal_codes.sid is provided, which regional offices can use as a reference for creating their own postal_codes_<CountryCode>.sid.

Selection Criteria

Provide the following information in the Import Postal Codes screen and select the OK button.

Country Code. Select the country from the single select list to import the postal codes for that country.
