Note: Follow the initial setup tutorial if you have not already to setup and upload the zip codes once. It will help you get familiarized with the Wix CMS.
Why use Custom Views?
Custom Views can help you manage your Zip Codes better if you have more number of zip codes. It will allow you to group and sort part of those zip codes based on some logical property. In this blog we show you how we added and used State names to manage zip codes state-wise in the USA zip codes list.
What are the alternatives?
If you have huge list of zip codes and you find it hard to manage it using Wix CMS, you can always download the zip codes from app.
Getting Started with Views
Views allows you to group together part of your collection using a sorts and filters on any of the columns. This can be utilized by grouping zip codes by states, some other geographic regions, shipping time, etc.
Lets take following scenario for example where we are delivering to around 33 thousand USA Zip Codes. Now as you can see it is pretty hard to manage this many zip codes.
I have added name of States in the notes column and now we will create different views for different state.
Let's start by making a view for New York.
As you can see in the video, we made a view called "New York", added filter on "Notes for self" column to only show rows where state is "New Your" and then sorted the zip codes.
Now instead of dealing with 30 thousand zip codes at one, you have to deal with smaller group of zip codes one at a time.
Similar thing can be done for Countries if you are shipping world-wide or you can group zip codes using shipping time.
