Edit area
Area definitions will often be similar to the country's standard area dialing codes, but this need not always be the case. An area definition may be as precise as to match a single number only, or broad enough to include many standard dialing codes.
Country
This displays the name of the country in which the area is defined.
Area description
Type the display name of the area.
Area ID
An ID will be auto-typed here as you enter the description, and is for internal use only. This can only be edited when a new area is being defined, and must contain only letters and numbers without spaces.
Match numbers starting
Type a number prefix that is to be considered part of the area here. You must remove the National access code (usually '1' for USA numbers or '0' for European numbers, see Dialing properties for more information).
Match whole number only
Check this box if the whole number is to be matched. By default this box is left unchecked, so that an area 171 matches 171 333 4444.
Add to list
Click this button to add the number in Match numbers starting to the Match numbers list.
Modify
Replaces the number selected in the Match numbers list with the entry in the Match numbers starting field.
Remove
Removes the current selection from the Match numbers list.
Match numbers
This is a list of all the numbers that are part of the area.
OK
Save the area definition, and close the dialog. If there is a number in the Match numbers starting field which hasn't been added to the Match numbers list, it will be added first.
Cancel
Discard changes to the area definition and close the dialog.
