Area Types

Available from 4.4.5

Area Types classify Areas to group related Locations for organizational purposes, filtering, and reporting. Create Area Types with descriptive names and explanations (for example, "Clinical Areas" for patient care zones, "Administrative Areas" for office spaces, "Public Areas" for reception and waiting areas, "Emergency Areas" for urgent care zones) that are assigned to Areas containing similar Location groups. When creating an Area, select its Area Type to classify it—this enables Location filtering by Area Type (for example, show only Emergency Area locations), supports targeted reporting (analyse maintenance costs across Clinical Areas vs Administrative Areas), and facilitates Payment Mechanism Core Value calculations by grouping valuations based on Area Type classifications. Organizations typically define Area Types matching their operational structure and reporting requirements, ensuring consistent Location categorization across the property portfolio for meaningful analysis and resource allocation.
