Area Coverage

Areas define which zip codes you are willing to service.

The Area Coverage tab allows you to create service areas for your business.

You must define an area key, an area name, and a range of zip codes that define the geographical limits of the area.

  1. Click Maintenance, then Area Coverage.

  3. If you have NOT already defined an Area with that zip code, the Search Results section is populated with "No Records Found,"--but you can click on the underlined Create Area link to display the Area Update screen, where you can create another area.
