The goal of this document is to show you how to add a custom zip code in case a zip code is not part of the system or if it is not associated with a specific city or region that a customer is attempting to enter. 

1. Open the specific family record whose zip code needs to be updated.
2. Click Edit Details.
   • Click the X next to the zip code to remove the current zip code
   • Click OK

3. A window should display that allows you to search through zip codes and select a city, state, etc.
   • If there is only one city listed for this zip code, that city and state will be automatically selected.
   • In this situation, repeat steps 4-6 and enter 000000 in the zip code field. (see image above) This should trigger the window to display in step 6.
4. Next enter the relevant information for the edited zip code that you would like to add to the database and click Find Postal Code.
5. Choose Add & Use Postal Code to select this postal code for your family or click Add & Keep Searching to add this custom zip code to the database and continue creating custom zip codes.

6. Click OK on the message that appears to add the postal code to the system
7. Click Save on the record and the record will be updated with the custom zip code information
8. If multiple zip codes exist for one address, the city can be changed without deleting the current zip code by clicking Edit Details and then selecting the drop-down menu for the city.
