Areas

Areas are the geographic entities (e.g. specific regions, districts, counties) that belong to a hierarchy level. Accessible from the management Manage dropdown under Core Configuration → Areas (Super Admin only).

Importing areas

The import page provides two methods:

Shapefile import

1. Go to the Areas page from the management admin menu and click Import
2. Select the Shapefile tab
3. Upload three files:
   • .shp — shapefile geometry
   • .shx — shapefile index
   • .dbf — attribute data
4. Select the Area Level (hierarchy) these areas belong to
5. Click Import

Spreadsheet import

1. Select the Spreadsheet tab
2. Upload a .csv file
3. For each configured area hierarchy level, map two columns from your spreadsheet:
   • Name — the human-readable area name
   • Code — the unique area code
   • Zero pad code to length — optional padding length for the code (leave at 0 for no padding)
4. Click Import

Editing an area

1. Click Edit next to an area in the list
2. Update the multi-language Name
3. Click Update

Downloading an import template

Click Download Import Template on the areas index page to get a CSV template with the correct column structure for spreadsheet imports.

Deleting all areas

1. Click Delete All on the areas index page
2. Confirm in the dialog
3. This truncates all area records — individual area deletion is not supported
