Geography
CifraHQ stores addresses using Panama's official administrative divisions: Country > Province > District > Township. These four tables are the reference Master Data that populates address fields across Customers, Vendors, Employees, and other entities. They come pre-loaded with Panama's geography but administrators can add or edit records as needed.
Where to find it
Go to Master Data > Geography, then choose the level you need:
Geography starts with the Countries list; provinces, districts, and townships drill down from here.
- Countries --
/master-data/countries - Provinces --
/master-data/provinces - Districts --
/master-data/districts - Townships --
/master-data/townships
The four levels

Tips
- Only administrators can add, edit, or delete geography records.
- Countries also offer a View history option from the row action menu to see the change log for that record.
- Deleting a geography level that is still referenced by addresses will be rejected -- remove the references first.
