Go to the *Areas* tab.

You can create a new area by clicking the three dots next to the search fields > *Add new.*

  

Enter a *Name* for the area

You can choose whether to draw a polygon area or a circular area.

-   Polygon area: You can draw an area by following the perimeter, such as the outer edges of a parking lot.
-   Circular area: A circle-shaped area whose diameter can be adjusted while creating the area.

Once you have selected which type of area you want to draw, click *Add area.*

  

Zoom in on the map to the desired area and draw the area.

Fill in the area details:

-   Name
-   Worksite
-   Status
-   Area group

You can add instructions to the area either as general instructions or as working-status-specific instructions.

If a working status is assigned to an instruction, the status-specific instruction will be displayed when the employee enters the area and activates that working status.
