Geographical Mappings

Geographical mappings can be made between cities, counties, public health districts, districts, states, and zip codes for use within the application.

To create or edit a geographical mapping, click the General Configuration > Geographical Mappings menu link, which opens the Geographical Mappings page and displays a list of current mappings. The list can be sorted by city, county, public health district, district, state, or zip code by clicking on the column header. Under the list of current mappings, the number of mappings displayed on the page is listed (for example, Showing 1 to 10 of 601 entries) and on the right side of that line are previous and forward arrows; click the arrows as needed to display additional mappings.

To create a new geographical mapping, click the Create Mapping button. See the Create a Geographical Mapping section below for more information.

To export the list of current mappings, click the CSV link in the Export options line at the bottom of the list. This list of current mappings is exported as a CSV file.
