Using the Bulk Select Option in Zone Set Manager

Administration Console > Object Management > Zone Set Manager

The Bulk Select option enables you to quickly create multiple zones for finer geographic resolutions without having to select each geographic area. Example This function is available for every geography level below Country level. When you select multiple countries that support the same level of resolution, unsupported levels of resolution are dimmed.

To use Bulk Select:

1. In the Administration Console, select Object Management > Zone Set Manager.

2. Create a zone set.

3. In the Regions list, select the region for the new zone. ExampleSelect "Europe" as the region.

4. In the Country column, select the check box next to each country that you want to include in the new zone. Example

The Zones panel lists the new zones.

5. In the Country column, click Bulk Select.

The Create Zones from checked geographies at this resolution dialog box opens. The list includes all resolutions applicable to all the selected (checked) countries.

6. Select the desired resolution:

Resolution	Result
Selection	Use this option to create individual zones for the selected areas in the current geographic resolution. Example
Area	Use this option to create individual zones at the Area level. Example
Subarea	Use this option to create individual zones at the Subarea level. Example
Postal	Use this option to create individual zones at the Postal level. Example
Subarea2	Use this option to create individual zones at the Subarea2 level.

If you select a single country, the Bulk Select list includes only the resolutions applicable to the selected country.

If you select multiple countries that support the same resolution levels, Bulk Select includes only the resolutions that are applicable to the selected countries.

If you select multiple countries that support different resolution levels, Bulk Select displays the maximum supported resolution level. If you select a resolution that is not supported by all the countries, Bulk Select displays a message that it cannot create bulk zones for those countries. Example

If you select multiple countries, select several areas at the next level (for one of the countries), click Bulk Select (in the Country column), and select a resolution, Zone Set Manager creates individual zones only for the selected areas (not for all the selected countries).

If you want to create bulk zones for multiple countries with various resolutions, you can choose each individual country and then select a zone resolution from the Bulk Select list.

7. Click Add to Zones.

The Zone Set Manager adds the zones to the zone set. It also clears the check boxes for the countries for which you created the bulk zones.

Administrators can configure the maximum number of zones that are displayed in the Zones panel. When the number of zones exceeds that limit, the panel is 'frozen'. While the zones are created, you cannot edit the zone set. You can, however, save the zone set that you created. Even if you cannot see zones in the Zones panel, you can select them when configuring a Detailed Loss Analysis.

8. Click Save.

You can use a similar process to create bulk zones for other levels of resolution. Example
