Help

Overview
This utility helps you import zones to your account using comma separated values (CSV).

Work flow
Initially a cache will be created of all the zones currently on your account. The input provided is parsed and a set of boundary points is created at the specified coordinates. These points are the extents of the new zone and are then saved to your account.
