Available |
Select to activate the corresponding address field and its label for inclusion as part of the standard address format for this country. When they are entering addresses, users enter a country code, and the system updates the page to display the fields that are appropriate for the specified country. Note: To hide the field for a given country, you must both clear the Available field and blank out the Label field. |
Label |
