If you're collecting and recording species distribution data, you'll want to customize which codes appear in the distribution column.

 

World Two letter country codes for United Nations member countries.
AU Australian states and territories.
CA Canadian provinces and territories.
GB Great Britain's cities, towns and counties.
NZ New Zealand's provinces.
US State names for the United States of America.
ZA Provinces of South Africa.
Custom Everything is deleted and only your own codes, as defined in the Categories View, are used.

 

Whenever you make a change to the distribution codes in this way, you'll need to decide what to do with the existing codes that are defined. You can either keep the existing codes or completely start over.
