Note: If some entries in your input data could refer to any of several possible locations with the same name in the region, you will be shown additional prompts where you can supply a supplementary variable (e.g. containing state/provinces names for each place) to disambiguate the entries to their correct location. In some instances, you may see this prompt when your input data is actually a different type, such as counties or states, in which case you can select the proper type using the prompts.
