ZIP Label Group

Note: This menu item is optional.

Label groups, discussed on Label Group, are used for printing mailing labels for subscriptions and/or postal reports. Label groups are user-defined, and multiple products may use the same label groups.

In some cases, label groups may be associated with one or more Zip codes. For example, label group “local” might include Zip codes 55118, 55119, and 55120, while label group “mail” includes everything else.

Zip code label groups are used to determine the default label group when a subscription start is entered for a product. To continue to example above, a new start in Zip code 55119 would be assigned to the mail label group “local”.

Suppose that one product, the Tribune, must be dropped off at the local post office (LOC) and also at a different SCF location (Duluth). The setup might be:

Product	Start Zip Code	End Zip Code	Label Group
Trib	55110	55199	LOC
Trib	00000	55109	DUL
Trib	55200	99799	DUL

In order for the label group to default for subscription starts, the router must determine that they are mail delivered (rather than route delivered) subscribers. To set up the router to work with label groups, enter the mail delivered Zip codes in the router, but leave Route blank to indicate this is a mailed Zip code.

To assign Zip codes to mail label groups:

1. Select Distribution | Mail | Zip Label Group from the Mail menu to display the Zip Label Group screen.

   
2. Click the Add icon and complete the following fields.

   Field	Type	What to enter
   PRODUCT	setup	Enter the product for this Zip label group record.
   START ZIP CODE	open (5)	Enter the starting Zip code that you wish to assign to a label group. For Canadian Zip codes, enter the first 3 digits only.
   END ZIP CODE	open (5)	Enter the ending Zip code that you wish to assign.
   LABEL GROUP	setup	Enter the label group.

3. Click OK to save the Zip label group in the database or Add Another to save the existing record and add another group.
