Some frequently asked questions: (click each question for answer)

 

What is a city code?

A city code can be used to help you enter customer information quickly.  By saving the cities you can type in a zipcode instead of the entire city, state and zip every time you input a customer record.

 

Why can't I add or change the information?

Remember, the system must be open in order to add or change any information.
Click Open the Day to add or make changes in this file.

 

Can I input a city with the same zip code as another city?

The city name and the zip code are used in combination to determine whether the record is already on file.  If you have Siesta Key Beach and Sarasota both with the same zip codes they can both be input in the city file.  The only record that cannot be input is Siesta Key Beach with the same exact zip code as another record with Siesta Key Beach as the city.

 

Can I input the postal codes for military states?

Yes, you can input the military state codes for "AA", "AE" and "AP".
