Creating a Zone

VADOC ONLY: CORIS enrollees' default zone cannot be edited, however additional non-default zones can be added and edited.

1. Search for the enrollee by name from the universal search field
   
2. Once on the enrollee profile, go to the Zones tab
   
3. You will see two sub tabs displayed here, select the tab for the desired type of zone
   
1. Personal - this is a zone specific to this enrollee only
   
2. Shared - this is a zone that has been shared at the entity level. The shared zone will be displayed on the enrollees zones>shared tab. 
4. Next select one of the following buttons depending upon the desired shape
   
1. + Polygon - a custom shape zone
   
2. + State/County - statewide and county wide zones
   
3. + Circle - circle shaped zone that allows you to enter a custom radius
   
1. This type of zone should be selected if you are utilizing the persistent locations feature
   
2. When creating a Circle Zone, the option to configure a Buffer Zone is available. Select the "Has Buffer Zone?" > "Yes" option, and enter a specified radius. 
   
5. Fill in the following fields as desired:
   
1. Zone Name - Keep in mind this is the name displayed when creating schedules. A descriptive name is helpful
   
2. Default Location - select yes if you want this to be the default location when a new schedule is created. 
   
3. Exclusion - select yes if you wish to make this an exclusion zone
   
1. When creating zones, the inclusion or exclusion type is defined during the configuration process. When a zone is associated with a schedule, the zone type is automatically applied to the schedule, eliminating the need to configure the zone type separately within the schedule
4. Home - if yes is selected, you can generate a custom report for this zone that will tell you the number of hours the enrollee spent within this zone. Typically used to track house arrest hours (hours spent at home). To view more information about this report, please refer to the article here
   
5. Beacon - select yes if you would like to associate a beacon with this zone
   
6. Street - Enter a complete address for the zone
6. Select the Find Location button. You will see the zone shape that indicates where the address is on the map
   
7. Shape, minimize, or increase the zone as desired
   
8. Has Buffer Zone - A buffer zone can be added to surround an inclusion or exclusion zone (Circle zones only). Enter the buffer size in feet. Alarm protocols can be set up to trigger for buffer zone violations. (Hardware only)
   
9. MAC Address - A WiFi router's MAC address can be used as a "Soft Beacon" for location capturing when the GPS satellite count is 6 satellites or less. 
10. Select Save to create the zone

Additional zones can be created for an enrollee. If a Default Zone has already been assigned, the new address will need to be entered manually for additional zones. Only one Default Zone can be assigned.

When using a MAC address from a WiFi router that has both a MTA and WAN MAC address listed, always use the WAN MAC address. The MTA MAC address pertains to voice and phone service functions of the router, while the WAN MAC address pertains to the router's internet connection.

Editing a Zone

1. Search for the enrollee by name from the universal search field
   
2. Once on the enrollee profile, go to the Zones tab
   
3. Look for the zone you would like to modify in the list and double click on it
   
4. Once you are in the zone details page you can make your edits as needed
   
5. Select Save to save your changes
   

Location Compliance is based on the zone at the time of the location call, and later zone corrections do not update past results.

Enabling and Disabling Zones

Enabling and disabling zones can be done from the zones tab within the enrollee profile. Follow the instructions below to enable/disable a zone:

1. To DISABLE a zone, navigate to the zone tab in the enrollee's profile.
   
1. Find the zone that you wish to disable.
   
1. A zone cannot be disabled if it is associated to an active schedule. You will first have to disable the schedule that is associated with the zone.
   
2. Select the zone by single-clicking to highlight it.
   
3. Select the "Disable" button.
   
4. Select "Disable" within the pop-up.
   
2. To ENABLE a zone, navigate to the zone tab in the enrollee's profile
   
1. Fine the zone you wish to enable.
   
2. Select the zone by single-clicking to highlight it.
   
3. Select the "Enable" button.
   
4. Select "Enable" within the pop-up.
   

When a zone is activated, the word "Enabled" will appear in green within the row. When a zone is deactivated, the word "Disabled" will appear in red within the row. This is displayed the same way for enabled and disabled schedules.

A zone cannot be disabled if it is associated with a schedule. If the schedule is first disabled, the zone can then be disabled.
