## Area settings

Area is a spatial concept, facilitating the user to manage devices in a specific area.
In the attendance system, area settings specify areas of devices. The area concept facilitates the system’s automatic management of user name lists on devices. When different devices are set in one (multiple) area(s), and personnel are assigned to one (multiple) area(s), the system will automatically distribute these personnel to devices in real-time (from time to time), without requiring the user to manually manage the user name lists on devices each time.
In the access system, after area setting, devices (doors) can be filtered by area upon real-time monitoring.
The system, by default, has set an area named [Headquarter] and numbered [1]. Area settings include add area and delete area.
