Overview 
............

Regions can only be added at a Customer or Site hierarchy level. Regions added directly on CUCM 
are synced in at the hierarchy level the CUCM is configured at in VOSS Automate.

Regions can be modified or deleted at any hierarchy level. When deleting a region, 
related regions can't be removed from a region. They exist until either region is deleted.
