Creating countries and geographic information

First you must add a country. The country is used by the miscellaneous country information form to define information that depends on country, such as currency. The geographic information further defines the location of your company by identifying the state, province, and city.

Because of the amount of such information in the database, make your query as narrow as possible. If you perform a search by city name alone, the search might take a long time and degrade performance on the Action Request System.
