Address Setup
- Cathy Allison
Address Setup
The Address Setup page allows you to control how ZIP/postal codes, cities, states, counties, and countries are linked.
Data from an existing UVIS installation can be imported as part of migration, but the setup screen allows you to manage ZIP or postal codes and cities as they are updated.
You can also add missing countries, counties, cities, ZIP, or postal codes as you need to, if you have clients who come from other places.
By linking the state, city, county, and ZIP together, you can automate the most common data for your client base.

A window will open up to allow you to choose the other regions. Add the regions you want to link, and then click on Save.
Links are not hierarchical
Region linking is non hierarchical in VetView, only relational. VetView cannot distinguish between Oconee County, GA or Oconee County, SC. We have a planned improvement for a future version to include a potential hierarchical structure for city, states, and counties, but it is not present as of version 2.0.5.
