Use areas to logically sort assets by the zones in which they reside. Areas divide the maintenance plant or facility into zones, which help to track and account for assets. Areas are later associated with assets.

   To set up areas:

1. Navigate to the Area window.

2. Using the Add icon on the tool bar, add an area.

3. Enter a Description for this location.

4. The Effective From Date defaults as the system date, but you can optionally update it. Optionally select an Effective To Date to indicate an expiration of the area.

5. Save your work.
