# Regions

How to view, create, edit, nest, and delete the regions used to organize your NuForce service area.

# Regions

This screen lists the regions you use to organize your service area, and lets you add, edit, nest, and remove them.

## What you can do here

- View your regions in a list showing each region's Name and Type.
- Click **Create New** to add a top-level region.
- Click **New Child** on any region's row to add a sub-region underneath it, building a hierarchy (for example, a zone nested inside a larger territory). The new region is linked to that parent automatically, no need to set it yourself.
- Click **Edit** on a region to open it and change its details.
- Click **Delete** on a region to remove it. You're asked to confirm before it's actually removed.

## Steps

**To add a region:**
1. Click **Create New** above the list.
2. Enter a **Name** for the region.
3. Optionally fill in **Abbr.** (a short code) and **Dial Prefix**.
4. Turn **Active** on so the region is available for use, or leave it off to keep it out of use for now.
5. Click **Save**.

**To add a sub-region under an existing one:**
1. Click **New Child** on the parent region's row instead of Create New.
2. Fill in the same Name, Abbr., Dial Prefix, and Active fields.
3. Click **Save**. The region is created under the parent you started from.

**To edit or remove a region:**
1. Click **Edit** on its row to change its Name, Abbr., Dial Prefix, or Active status, then **Save**.
2. Click **Delete** on its row, and confirm, to remove it for good.

Regions you set up here are the same ones used elsewhere in NuForce to group your service area, so keeping this list accurate helps keep jobs and contacts organized by location.

<!-- REVIEW NOTES (drafting agent could not verify):
  1. The exact set of values shown in the 'Type' column (e.g. zone, city, state, country) is not fully confirmed from the UI; the create/edit form hides this field and defaults new regions to 'zone', so it is unclear whether other types are reachable from this screen or only appear on regions created some other way.
  2. The general closing claim that regions here are used elsewhere in NuForce to group jobs and contacts by location is inferred from backend code (work order and contact-assignment logic referencing regions), not from directly observing those other screens.
