Manage zones

A zone is an area inside a business that your projects sit in — a city, a district, or one site. You pick the zone when you create a project, so work stays grouped by area. This guide shows how to create and manage them.

You don't need one to start. No zones exist on a new account, and a zone is optional on a project. Add them when you actually want to group work by area — not before.

How zones relate to businesses

A zone belongs to one business — one that has Projects switched on. You choose it by opening that business's zone list.
The business is fixed once the zone exists. You can rename a zone or redraw its area, but you can't move it to another business.
When you create a project, the zone picker shows only the chosen business's zones. Pick the business first.
A zone carries nothing but a name and an optional area. A project's country and city come from the business, not the zone.

You reach them from Businesses → the business → Zones.

Create one

Open the business from Businesses, then Zones, then Add zone.
Type the zone name — 2–100 characters. *North Site*, *Downtown*, *Phase 1*.
Optional: Draw area on map to outline its boundary.
Choose Add zone.

The owning business is already set, because you arrived from its zone list.

The drawn area is optional

Outline the boundary and the app can gently flag a project whose pinned location falls outside that area. It is a reminder, never a block. The form shows {n} points drawn, and Clear area starts over.

The area does one more quiet job: on a new project, the zone decides where the map opens.

Change one

Open the zone from its business's Zones list and change the name or the area, then Save changes. The business can't be changed.

Remove one

Delete zone — the zone is removed, and a one-tap Undo appears right after in case you change your mind.
Deactivate zone — for a zone a project already uses. It stays on those projects but stops appearing when you create new ones. Activate zone brings it back.

A zone a project is using carries an In use badge, so you can tell at a glance which ones to deactivate rather than delete.

Tips

Don't create zones you don't need. A project without a zone is perfectly normal.
Pick the business first when creating a project — the zone list follows the business.
Draw the area only if the outside-the-zone reminder is useful to you. It is never required.
Name zones the way the site is spoken about — *Phase 1*, *North Site* — not by a code only the office understands.
