# Manage Regions

Learn how to view and manage standard and custom regions.

## About Regions

Vault supports grouping countries by region and provides standard _Regions_. You can add, edit, and delete _Regions_ to support your business processes. You can also update the _Region_ Vault sets on each <a href="/en/gr/5450/">_Country_ record</a>. Currently, the _Region_ object has no associated business functionality, but future features can leverage this data structure.

## Prerequisite

To view, add, edit, or remove [_Regions_ on _Country_ records][1], you must enable <a href="/en/gr/805535/">Regions for Countries</a>.

## Manage Region Records

You can view and manage _Region_ records from **Business Admin > Objects > Regions**. With the correct permissions on the _Region_ object, you can view, create, edit, and delete _Region_ records.

### How to Add and Edit Regions

To add or edit _Regions_:

1. Use the _Regions_ page:
   * To add a _Region_, select **Create**.
   * To edit a _Region_, select an existing **Region**, and then select **Edit**.
2. Optional: Enter or edit the **Region Name**.
3. Optional: Enter a **Region Abbreviation**.
4. Select **Save**.

### How to Delete Regions

To delete _Regions_:

1. On the _Regions_ page, hover over an existing _Region_ and select **Delete** from the record's **All Actions** menu.
2. On the _Delete Record_ dialog, select **Continue**.

## <a id="region-on-country"></a>Configure Regions on Countries

You can view and manage _Regions_ on _Countries_ from **Business Admin > Objects > Countries**. Vault populates _Regions_ on all standard _Country_ records, except for _Antarctica_ and _Unknown_. Vault does not populate _Regions_ on custom _Country_ records.

### How to Add, Edit, or Remove Regions on Countries

To add, edit, or remove _Regions_ on _Country_ records:

1. On the _Countries_ page, select an existing **Country**, and then select **Edit**.
2. In the **Region** field:
   * To add or edit a _Region_, select a **Region** from the picklist.
   * To remove a _Region_, clear the field.
3. Select **Save**.
