# Update Region

You can change the Region assigned to an NPANXX to one you choose from the Region drop-down list.

1. Select the new **Region** from the list in the Update Settings area.
2. Use the shortcut menu to select and change the appropriate records. You can change the records:
  - For the selected row.

**(More)**

To change one row, right-click the row and select **Update Region > For Selected Row**.
  - For the rows in the current view.

**(More)**

To change all the records listed in the current view:

    1. Filter the table to display only those records to be changed.

Windows with lists (rows with column headings) can be sorted and filtered by:

**Column Heading**

On pages with column headings, you can sort, filter and find items by right-clicking the column heading.

The shortcut menu lets you:

      - **Sort Ascending** or **Sort Descending**
      - Apply a **Filter**. This displays a dialog for entering a text string (expression). Wildcard characters (*) are allowed. For example, entering "Acme*" filters out (hides) all records that do not contain a text string beginning with “Acme". To undo the filter and restore the original search results, select **Remove Filter**.
      - **Find** an item based on a text string. This displays a window similar to the Filter window.

![Find (Expression) Dialog](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/31289(1).bmp?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T11%3A07%3A47Z&se=2026-11-14T12%3A07%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=gtJfp9RcSaOVZTF5Ul%2F%2FyTqsvQzXNXNbbiC2M%2F3TH2w%3D)

However, rather than hiding records that do not match the text string, the Find function finds and highlights the first instance of the text string in the list. Selecting **Find Next** locates the next instance of the text string.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You must enter the complete string in order for it to be found; wildcards are not allowed. For example, if you're searching a column for Los Angeles, you must enter Los Angeles, not just Los *.

#### Click Column Heading to Sort

Left-clicking on column headings will also toggle between sorting them in ascending and descending order.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> This is a strict alpha sort, so numbers that vary in length will not be sorted numerically. (For example, 100 will come before 15.)

**Selected Cell**

When a list is very large you can apply a filter to make it more manageable. To do this, right click a cell in the grid and choose **Filter >**

      - **By Selection** -- to include all rows with the selected filter criteria (cell content).
      - **Excluding Selection** -- to remove all rows with the selected filter criteria.

To revert to the complete list, choose **Filter > Remove Filter**.
    2. Right-click any row and select **Update Region > For All Rows in the Current View**.
  - For the complete table based on a specific field.

**(More)**

You can change all the rows in the table based on one of four fields in the selected row:

    - LATA
    - NPA
    - OCN
    - State

For example, you can change all records in the NNACL table having the 974 LATA.

    1. Right-click a row with the desired LATA (or NPA, OCN or State).
    2. From the shortcut menu, select **Update Region > For All Rows in the NNACL Table > By Selected LATA** (or NPA, OCN or State).
