Upload a Zip Code list for Global Geography to your Audience

You may upload a file of zip codes to Intelidata Express to use as either global geography or defined geography criteria for a specific level .  You may download a template file from IE by clicking the "View Instructions" link.  

Basic formatting rules to remember when creating a file for upload are:

  • Do not add a header to the column otherwise that value will be considered an invalid zip code
  • Zip codes may be entered in columns or rows - Intelidata Express will load either format
  • Always use csv - Comma Separated Values - files. All other file types will be considered invalid and will generate an error when you attempt to upload the file
  • Intelidata Express assumes that all zip codes are a minimum of five digits - if your file lists "123" as a zip code, Intelidata Express will attempt to validate "00123"

To upload a zip code file at the Global Criteria level

Create a new audience as you normally would

On the Global Criteria page, scroll to the Zip Code List section

Click the Choose file button

To upload a zip code file at the Global Criteria level

In the Open FIle window, Select the file you will upload to Intelidata Express and click the Open button

Intelidata Express will display any invalid zip codes you may have uploaded - Review the list - if any - of invalid zip codes in the message window

Click the OK button to continue

You may combine cities and states as part of your geographical criteria when uploading a zip code list but you may not manually enter zip code into the input fields

If no additional geography criteria, suppressions or rejects are to be used with this audience, click the blue Save & Continue button

Define the level(s) for your audience - click the Save & Continue button

Once you have defined all the levels necessary for your audience, click the blue Continue button

On the Build Summary page, Intelidata Express will display a maximum of 100 zip codes.  If you have uploaded 101 or more zip codes, the system will display a message (too many zip codes to display)

Click the blue Build Audience button to continue processing your audience to post and ship your order
