Use the mouse scroll wheel and left click-drag to navigate the map. You can also use the slider at the bottom-right of the map to zoom in/out.

Understanding the Zones Screen

Show Stores Toggles the visibility of the icon for each store location, within or without the selected Zone's perimeter.

Create and Edit a Zone

To add a new zone, click +New Zone at the bottom of the left pane. Drag the map to view the area you want to add your new zone, then click Create to toggle-on the "point creation" mode.

To define the perimeter of your zone, click on the map to create the first "point" of your zone. Notice that, as you move your cursor, you see a black line moving across the map. This will be the first border around your zone. Continue clicking points to close the borders of your zone.

While editing, if you need to delete one or more points, click Remove to toggle-on "delete mode". Now, highlight the point(s) you want to delete, and click to delete each one. When you are done deleting points, click Remove again to toggle-off "delete mode".

NOTE: While editing a Zone's perimeter, once you have created a closed shape, new points can only be created by moving your cursor to the exact midpoint of any single segment of the existing Zone perimeter. A green dot will appear, click and hold to create the new point, drag it to the needed location, and release.

Once you have finished setting the new Zone's perimeter use the Zone field on the left to name it, and click Save.
