Zones are defined areas within a building that can help Operatives find locations on site, where work needs to be carried out. Zones are only available when drawings are enabled on a project.
Examples of zones - wards on a floor of a hospital, offices within a co-working space or groups of rooms within a hotel.
Overview of zones in Onetrace
Zones are first added to the relevant levels within Site Manager, with more details shown below on how to add and manage zones.
Add a zone to a location:
Pre-drop - Owners, admins and managers can pre-drop pins and add them to the to-do list preemptively for their team. When they create these locations, zone information can be added by editing the location.
On-site - For Operatives to select the zone when they are creating a job sheet, not from the to-do list, zone fields need to be enabled on forms. This can be done via the advanced options in the form settings.
Once job sheets start being submitted, zones can be used as filters through the locations tab. Specific location reports can then be run containing the selected zones.
