Zone Information

Learn more about zone information and key terminology for Trailer & Yard Management users.

A zone is a digital area marked by a geo-fence that corresponds to a physical location on the facility’s property.

A zone can be an outdoor or indoor zone and include an entire lot, aisle, parking space, structure or operations facility, or any place where finished vehicle logistics activities occur.

For a quick summary view of real-time vehicle inventory information for a zone, open the map.

From the left-hand menu, select the Zones tab and then locate the zone and select. You can use the Search function on the tab to quickly find a specific zone (e.g., a specific yard or lot). 

The Show all and Current building radio dials just above the list provide broader listings, which can be helpful when the zone name or location is uncertain. This option is used only when the system has structures set up. 

Once a zone is chosen, the map will highlight the zone in teal and the right-hand menu will display a zone summary box. 

Assets: # of vehicles currently in zone (based on vehicle tracking)

Free slots: # of available slots (zone occupancy minus assets)

Pencil icon (edit); trash can icon (delete) zone

 

The map displays inventory totals. To obtain detailed vehicle inventory information for the zone, use the Zones tab in My Lot and filter on the zone.
