Collection methods:![]() | A country code can consist of one-digit up to five-digits; no leading numbers should be entered if the number is less than 5 digits. When a country code is used in conjunction with an area code and phone number it should be arranged in the following order. (Country code) + (Area Code) + phone number Usage Example: Code 61 - Australia Country codes should be stored as the 1-5 numbers in a row, but rules can be set up to display the number in a different format, e.g. ## ###. Country codes are also usually defined with a ‘+’ prefix, this is common for all country codes and can be added to the display via a rule. It should not be stored. | ||||
