Adding Zones

Zones can be added in the application several ways using the Zones and Map functions.

Adding zones using the Zones feature

The Zones feature makes it easy to add individual zones or to upload zones in bulk. 

To add a zone via the Zones page:

1. 1. Navigate to Zones & Messages > Zones from the main menu.
   2. Select Add from the top of the page. The web page automatically opens the Map feature.
   3. Select a starting point on the map to define the boundary of the zone.
   4. Select additional points along the perimeter to create the boundary. A line connects the points showing the perimeter in the order you add them.
   5. To finish, re-select the first point to close the zone.
   6. The web page automatically redirects to the edit panel on the Zones Edit page, where you can name your new zone and select Save. 

Once you have saved your zone, it will appear on the Zones page in your zones list. If you would like to add multiple zones at once, see Importing Zones.

Adding zones using the Map

To quickly add a square zone to a desired location:
