The names of towns can change, county lines can be adjusted, or you may find that a municipality has been misspelled. Fortunately, RS10 allows admins to add, edit, and delete city and town names with ease.
Begin by clicking Admin on the main menu bar.
Select Cities/Towns from the Admin sub-menu.
All of the cities and towns are listed alphabetically by default. The number of locations associated with each is in the parentheses to the right of the city name.
City/Town names are important to crew listings as well. By selecting Crew from the drop-down menu at the top right-hand portion of the Cities/Towns page, you can view Crew locations, as well as the number of listings associated with each municipality.
The Cities/Towns screen can be sorted so that you can find the municipality you are looking for quickly. Clicking on the City/Town, County/Council, Region, and State/Province headers will sort those columns in alphabetical order. You can reverse the order by clicking the blue triangle next to the column header you have selected.
For instance, this is how your screen might appear if you clicked on County/Council.
1. Editing Cities/Towns
To edit a city or town, click the Edit (pencil) icon on the right-hand side of the screen.
A dialog box will open that will allow you to change the information associated with that city or town. Click Save to preserve your change or Cancel to return to browsing the Cities/Towns screen. Changes you have made are applied to locations or crews (depending on drop-down menu selection) throughout your RS10 database.
2. Adding a New City/Town
New cities and towns can be added to your RS10 system by clicking Add New City/Town at the top of the Cities/Towns page.
When you click Add New City/Town, a fields drop down that allows you to input attributes that describe that municipality. All of these fields are required entries. City/Town Name is a free-text field, while County/Council, Region, and State/Province are single-select drop-down menus. Click Add when you have finished.
3. Deleting Cities/Towns
To remove a city or town from your RS10 system, click on the Delete (trashcan) icon next to the municipality you wish to erase.
Follow the confirmation step, or click Cancel to return to browsing cities and towns without any changes being made.
