Set up District

Who does this: hospital administrator Where: General Masters › Location Masters › District Set up before: Country and State

A district is the level of an address between a state and a town. The list comes pre-loaded, so you only need this screen to add a missing district — for example, a newly formed one — or correct a detail. Towns are added under a district.

Add a district

1. Go to General Masters › Location Masters › District.

2. Click Add. The district form opens.

3. Enter the District Name and, if you use one, a Short Name.

4. Pick the Country Name, then the State Name. The state list shows only the states of the country you picked. Type in the search box at the top of either list to find an entry quickly.

5. The fields are:

   Field	What to enter	Required
   Code	Filled in automatically when you save.	—
   District Name	The district's name. Up to 50 characters.	Yes
   Short Name	A short code. Up to 15 characters.	No
   Country Name	The country the district is in.	Yes
   State Name	The state the district is in.	Yes
   Status	Leave on Active.	—

6. Click Save. You return to the list.

Change or deactivate a district

1. In the list, click the ⋮ button at the end of the row and choose Edit.
2. Change the fields you need. To hide the district from address lists, switch Status to Inactive.
3. Click Save.

Districts cannot be deleted. Make a district Inactive instead.
