The list of Districts is a configurable list which is used on organisation/person records. It is usually used for address data, and used in conjunction with the other address fields. If the area you work in has defined wards, you can use these as your District headings. On the other hand, you may want to categorise people along some other lines - for example, if you work in a city you might use District headings of North, South, East, West and Central, and then use these categories to report on services that have been delivered to people in each area.
Setting up Districts
Click on the menu item to view the list of Districts set up on your system, if there are any. Click on "Create New District" to create a new one, or click on an existing one to edit it.

- Name of the District
- Display Order
- Active? - whether the District is available on the system or not
