Geographic Groups

In this section we show you how to group your sites into geographic regions, districts, zones and locations. You can also specify whether a region, district, zone or location resides within another region, district, zone or location. We call these kinds of hierarchical geographic goupings geo groups. Regions, districts, zones or locations that contain other regions, districts, zones or locations are called parent groups. For example, the city of Cape Town could reside within the parent group called the Cape region.
