Countries and country groups

Adding a country

When multi country work is switched on for your workspace, Settings, then Countries lists every country your organisation works in. Your home country is always there. Add a country to start working in it: its first level of places is already in your workspace, and you load its districts when you need them.

Each country card sets the names of its levels, whether a third level is used, where the map's boundaries come from and, where a country spans several time zones, the time zone of a first level place.

Giving users their countries

On each user's page, Countries is either All countries, including any added later, or These countries: the countries the person may add records in and the countries they may also see. A person sees and adds records only in their countries. Administrators always have every country.

Changing a person's own preferences, such as their default country, never changes their access.

Country groups

Settings, then Countries, then Country groups lists the United Nations standard regions and subregions, which cannot be changed, and the groups your administrators make, such as Levant. A country may sit in many groups.

Use a group to filter a list or a report, or to show a subtotal in the indicator tracking table. When you give a user the countries of a group, the countries are saved as they are that day: adding a country to the group later gives nobody access to it.

Country on every list

Every list of records with a country has a Country column, a Country filter that also offers your groups, and Group by Country. The column is shown by default once your workspace uses two or more countries. A filter only ever narrows what you already see.
