Add Zip Codes, City, County, State, Country

Inside each location is an address that includes city, state, county, zip code, and country. You can add these if they don’t exists. However, you need to be mindful of the hierarchical order. The order is below.

Each zip code belongs to a city, each city belongs to a county, each county belongs to a state, and each state belongs to a country. Each country can have a different set of options; this is based on their addressing schemes.

• Country
• State
• County
• City
