Work Zones

On the Work Zones form, designate entity-specific work zones that contain work areas at your facility. A work zone could be a building, such as "Building 4", or a process line, such as "B Cycle Storage Tank". Document specific location data for a work zone and view all work areas associated with a work zone in the Location and Work Areas sections on the form. For each work zone, equivalent entries in different languages can be defined. For example, a "Warehouse" zone in Dutch, "Magazijn", and in Afrikaans, "Pakhuis", could be specified. When localization has been implemented, the Culture setting assigned to a user determines which value is displayed in field lists on Essential forms. Enter the corresponding work zones and associate each one with the appropriate language in the Language Dependent Work Zone section.

Associate a work zone with a work area on the Work Areas form.
