Create Zones

In Fastlight; Zones, DP Locations, Boundaries and Properties are regions.

 

Since Regions are an area rather than a specific point, you draw it with the Region Draw Type setting you chose.

Either 'Click Points' (by clicking the square icons around the edge of the required area) or 'Drag Rectangle'.

 

This manual uses the 'Click Points' setting

 

In the Tree, select the relevant POP-Location and then the Network Locations folder.

In the maps shortcut menu, select the Zones icon.

Select the Zone you wish to create (Planning Zone, Splitter Zone and Zone).
