The creation of system Zones is optional, and may be omitted for small networks. For larger networks, it may be helpful to divide the system into Zones so that Devices may be displayed selectively. Zones can be set up according to any parameters, which may be location, time-of-day usage or any other factors.

It is best to create the Zone structure before adding any Devices to the system as Devices may then be added directly to the required Zone. However, it is quite simple to move Devices to another Zone later.

Note that individual Zones may be temporarily disabled to effectively remove Devices in that Zone from the system.  The Zone can then easily be re-enabled at any time.

If you choose to omit the creation of system Zones, all Devices will be added to an "unassigned zone" pool, and there will then be no option to selectively display Devices. Zones can still be created later and Devices added to the appropriate Zones.
