Types of Zones

Types of Zones

The Zones created for an Enrollee are listed in the Zones Tab of the Enrollee Profile Page. Zones are used to indicate where an Enrollee should or should not be during a specific time frame. Zones are associated with schedules to designate when an enrollee should be at one of the zones. 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

Zone Types

Multiple Zone types can be created and assigned to an Enrollee:

Inclusion Zone

An area that an Enrollee is required to remain within during the set Schedule Time. 

Exclusion Zone

An area that an Enrollee is required to remain outside of during the set Schedule Time. 
Ability to use shared Exclusion Zones for Persistent Locations.

Buffer Zone

In GPS monitoring, a buffer zone is a virtual area that surrounds a designated inclusion or exclusion zone to provide an early warning before a monitored individual crosses a boundary. These Buffer Zones can only be configured for Circle Zones.

Info
Exclusion zones can be created inside of a larger Inclusion zone. Exiting the Inclusion zone will trigger an alarm, and entering the Exclusion zone will also trigger an alarm. (Ex. An Inclusion zone for the enrollee's county, with an Exclusion zone of a victim's home or workplace.)
Notes
Exclusion zones created for enrollees will display as 24-hour schedules. To customize an exclusion zone with specific hours of operation, or to add exceptions, create a schedule using the exclusion zone with a start and end time. When a schedule is created and associated to an exclusion zone, the "24-hour Schedule" label is removed in the Zones tab. 

Default Zone

When a Zone is marked as the Default Zone, that Zone auto-populates in the Location field of a Schedule being created. When an Enrollee elects to conduct an Inbound Call, the Default Zone determines if an Enrollee is compliant regarding their location at the time of the Inbound Call. Only one Personal Zone can be selected as the Default Zone. If a new or existing Zone is marked as a Default Zone, the Default designation will automatically be removed from the previous Default Zone. 
Info
If there is already a Default Zone assigned to the enrollee, creating additional zones will not populate an address. The additional address will need to be manually entered when creating additional zones. 

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

Shared Zones

A Zone is available to be assigned to Enrollees within the same Entity. 

The Shared Zone can also be made available to the User's Sub-Entities by selecting "Yes" for the "Shareable with Sub-Entities" option when creating/editing a Shared Zone. When "Yes" is selected, the Enrollees from the Sub-Entities associated with the Entity of the User making the Shared Zone can be assigned this Zone when adding a Schedule. The Shared Zone will be shown on their Shared Zone list.

Notes
VADOC ONLY: All Default Zones are defaulted to 100m (328ft.)
