Overview
The Zones feature allows you to assign a geographic context to your fleet organization.
A zone can represent a construction site, agency, workshop, storage location, or any other area relevant to your operations.
Zones are created at the organization level and can be made available in different workspaces as needed.
Zones enable you to:
Monitor and receive alerts about equipment entering or leaving a zone.
Visualize the distribution of your stock across construction sites, storage areas, maintenance zones, etc.
Analyze activity or inactivity levels of equipment within the zone.
Basics
Zone profile
The zone profile provides an overview of activity and equipment information within the zone.
In the upper-right corner of the screen, the Directions button lets you open Google Maps directly to the zone's address (or its central GPS coordinates if no address is provided).
Overview
The Overview tab consists of two sections:
A map showing the distribution of equipment within the zone.
A table listing the equipment, where you can customize the displayed data.
Chronology
The Chronology tab consists of two sections:
A summary of key data for the selected period, such as equipment entries and exits or CO₂e emissions generated by machines within the zone.
A table of machines that reported data within the zone during the selected period, including details on entry and exit dates.
Faults
The Faults tab consists of two sections:
A breakdown of error codes received from machines in the zone during the specified period.
A detailed table of all error codes.
Adding a Zone
Only administrators can create zones and zone categories.
To add a zone, navigate to the Zones list (accessible from the navigation menu) and click on the Add a Zone button.
Hiboo offers two ways to add a zone to your workspace:
Create a new zone.
Add an existing zone from the organization.
Create a New Zone
Click on Create New.
Enter the Name, Category, and Workspaces where the zone should appear.

Information
The zone address allows you to launch Google Maps navigation directly from the map or zone page. If no address is provided, the navigation will direct you to the zone's center.
Once a zone is created, its boundaries cannot be modified. We recommend adding a margin to account for GPS inaccuracies.
