Search for a Post Code

You can use the Post Code Search screen to locate postal codes within a specific location. For postal codes to appear in the search results, a system administrator must import a *.csv file that contains a list of codes. When you enter a city and state on the Post Code Search screen, all codes that match the criteria appear.

For information about how to import postal codes, see the Configuration Tasks section of the help file.

1. From a search screen, select Search in the ZIP/Postal code field. The Post Code Search screen appears.

2. Enter the search criteria.

   Tip: If you do not select Match all criteria exactly, you can use “wildcard” characters in place of parts of search criteria, such as if you are unsure of an exact spelling. To replace a group of characters, use an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%). To replace a single character, use a question mark (?) or an underscore (_). For example, to return all constituents with a last name that ends with “son” such as Johnson and Williamson, enter “*son” or “%son” as the last name. To find the last name of Smith or Smyth, enter “Sm?th” or “Sm_th”.

3. Select Search. The program searches the database for postal codes that match the criteria entered.

4. Under Results, select the postal code to use and select Select. You return to the record search screen, and the postal code appears in the ZIP/Postal code field.
