# State Reference

This table defines the abbreviation and full name for each state (as well as Canadian provinces, and other regions in the NANP where your company may provide service).

Entries must be in this table to be used:

- In the Location field of a Rate Detail when the rating method is ***State*** or ***Pt-To-P***t.
- In the Criteria Value field of a Rate Detail when the Criteria Type is ***State.***
- In the Criterion field of a Calling Area Detail when the Criterion Type is ***State***.
- In Originating Locations and/or Terminating Locations.

To set up and maintain the States Reference table:

1. In Admin Console, under Data Management expand the States folder and double-click States Reference. This displays the States Reference window.
