Bulk Select

Admin > Administration Console > Object Management > Zone Set Manager >

Bulk Select enables you to quickly create multiple zones for finer geographic resolutions without having to select each geographic area. For example, you might want to create a group of countries and then create individual CRESTA zones for all those countries without having to create the zones country by country. 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.

Procedure

To use Bulk Select:

  1. Create a zone set with several countries selected.
  2. In a column, such as the Country column, click .

    The Create Zones from checked geographies at this resolution dialog box opens.

  3. Select the desired resolution.

    Resolution

    Result

    Selection

    Create individual zones for the selected areas in the current geographic resolution.

    Area

    Create individual zones at the Area level.

    Subarea

    Create individual zones at the Subarea level.

    Postal

    Create individual zones at the Postal level.

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

    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.

    If you select multiple countries, select several areas at the next level (for one of the countries), click (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).

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

  4. 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.

    Note:

    Administrators can configure the maximum number of zones that will be 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 Detailed Loss analyses.
