This dialog enables you to configure different countries. Within the program, you are able to enter new countries and change or delete the data of existing countries. Use the keys Ins and Del or edit a record by double clicking on it. The country codes are assigned according to the two-letter ISO-Code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).
You can pool countries together as groups. This will provide appropriate divisions on registration cards and in statistics. E.g. combine all European states together in a group “Europe” or Latin American states in “South America”.
Authorities in certain countries require police reports or other statistics where several countries are summarised under one heading. In SIHOT, this is handled using the function country grouping. See chapter “Special Subjects” – Country Grouping for details.
