Naming Rules are no longer used starting with Build 74. The FipsCodes.txt import file is now used to manage and control place names.
DynamicZip naming rules are used to control and standardize the county and city names in the DZ Zip Address Table. For instance, a naming rule might be used to abbreviate Saint (as in Saint Louis) to St (as opposed to having both St Louis and Saint Louis in the address table). The use of naming rules both prevents inconsistencies (which makes using lookup windows easier) and helps reduce the chance of tax schedule descriptions becoming truncated (Tax schedule descriptions usually contain the state, city name and county name, but can only be 30 characters long).
From the DZ FIPS Codes window you can create your own set of naming rules.
Open the DZ FIPS Codes window and navigate DynamicZip»Naming Rules from the menu to open up the DZ Naming Rules window. Using the DZ Naming Rules window you can:
DynamicZip has default naming rules already in place when it is installed. However, you can modify the naming rules to best suit your preferences.
For example: To change all occurrences of Ft to FORT
NOTE: Once a city or county name is stored in the geocode table it can only be modified if you manually change it using the DZ Geocodes window or the Apply Rules to Geocode Names process(Step 8 above.).
