Upload a Zip Code list for Geography to a specific level of 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"
