Fields: 
You will see the fields of the Pricebook Zone as shown in Figure C above. 
1. Name: Enter the name of the Pricebook Zone.
2. Copy from Zone: Select an existing Pricebook Zone from the drop-down selection. This field will copy the settings of the selected Pricebook Zone for the new Pricebook Zone, i.e., Product’s cost and price. 
This will help to avoid manual entry with the common settings and reduce the time for the new Pricebook Zone. 3. Default Zone: This option is for locations. Once you create the location, you can assign the Pricebook Zone to the specific location. By clicking on the toggle button, you can enable/disable this option. 
If you enable this option, the zone will be considered as default. As a result, the newly created locations will have this Pricebook zone set as the default. However, if you have disabled this option, the Pricebook Zone will not be considered the default zone. Note: You can select only one default Pricebook Zone at a time. Only one Pricebook will be considered a default.
4. Zone Background Color: Select any background color for the Pricebook Zone to differentiate the visibility of the products after selecting the Pricebook zone. It will be easy to identify which zone you have selected, i.e., Mass update. 
5. Buttons:
- Preview: Click on this button if you want to see how the item listing of the Mass Update would look after selecting the background color. See Figure D
