1.1.1 Introduction
Area Management is where you define your office spaces. Setting up areas correctly ensures an organized workspace and helps track office resource usage efficiently.
In the Area Overview, a list of all currently defined areas within your office (such as floors, parking spaces, or lounge areas) will be displayed.

Navigation Path:
Office > Area Management > Add Area
To create a new area:

The setup is based on a drag-and-drop system:
-
On the right side, you will find different input blocks

Drag and drop these blocks into the middle section
Once a block is added:
-
It expands automatically
-
You must configure its settings
Only configured blocks will affect the area.
Step 1: Area Information

Enter a clear Area Name
-
Add a short Description (optional)
