    This Region Level Can Be Defined By A Set Of Postal Codes Select This Region Level Can Be Defined By A Set Of Postal Codes if you want to indicate that regions associated with this region level can define a postal code range. This is used to default the Postal Codes Define This Region field when defining a region for this region level only.
    Valid Child Region Levels If this region has any child region levels that have already been defined, select the applicable region levels from the Available table and choose the right-arrow button.
    Note: We recommend creating region levels from the lowest region level to the highest. For example, you create a region level called Town. Then you create a region level called County. Since Town was created earlier you can move it under County at the same time you are creating the County region level.
    Note: If you had created County first, you would have had to close it, then create Town, then close Town and reopen County to add Town beneath it.
