Areas represent various levels of monitored zones or sites. Structure can vary based on your preferences and complexity of the system. Areas can also be organized in a nested structure to allow for easy navigation and inherited permissions.
An Area can be a building, a facility, a floor, or space in a large building, it can be... anything. It’s unique to each organization so be as specific as you like
You can get to the Area Setup Screen by using the Menu (in the top right corner) and clicking "AREAS"
It's recommended to plan out your Area Structure before adding them into SureView Ops. For Example:
SureView Demo
--------UK Region
---------------- Cardiff Castle
---------------- Hawthorne House
---------------- Tom Residential
---------------- Unit 123
--------USA Region
---------------- Tampa Office
---------------- San Francisco Office

Below is a list of the available fields that can be entered when adding or editing an Area

| Reference ID (Optional) |
This is a free field that can be used for your own internal IDs or Codes to represent the Area. This ID is then shown in the relevant reports along with the Area Title |
| Address (Required) |

| Latitude and Longitude (Required) |

| Parent Area (Required) |
When creating Areas, you must select a Parent first; your selected Area becomes a sub-Area of it. Your Global or Tenancy Area is the first option, followed by any Parent Areas you have created. All Areas created in the system can be selected as a Parent allowing you to build your system with as much simplicity or detail as you need.
In the Structure example at the top of the page Cardiff Castle has the Parent Area of "UK Region" which in turn has the Parent Area of "SureView Demo"
SureView Demo (UK Region's Parent Area) --------UK Region (Cardiff Castle's Parent Area) ---------------- Cardiff Castle |

This allows you to define an Action Plan that should be followed if an Operator performs a Manual Tour (opening the Area directly, without an alarm). See Action Setup for more details |
| Summary (Optional) |
