Location Zones

Let's name the zones, the zones, the zones...

Ever needed to distinguish between areas in a location, without manually chopping the plan into segments? SignAgent's Zone Feature is here to help!

Zones allow you to split up a location plan into wings, quadrants, zones, or even buildings, all on the same plan!

Other Notes about Zones

Screenshot of the locations section in SignAgent.
  • You'll notice that, when you add your first zone, there will be two rows added beneath the location, in the left-hand sidebar. The new zone will be added, but also a category called "Not in Zones". All signs that fall outside of specific zones will go into this category.
  • If you right-click on the zone name in the left-hand sidebar, there is an option to "Hide Boundaries". This will hide both the boundary lines and any opacity of the zone's area on the plans

  • If you filter on only a specific zone from a location while exporting, the exported location plan will include the entire plan, but only the signs within that zone. If you choose the option to "Include Zones" it will include the boundaries and filled areas

Please note! Location Zones can overlap. SignAgent will recognize when a sign is placed in zones that overlap and will indicate the specific zones.
