Zones

Zone Settings define the visual and functional layout for Live View and Visual Booking Widgets in MRI Evolution. Each Zone typically represents a physical area, such as a floor or section of a building, and is configured with a background image (often a floor plan) to provide users with a spatial context for booking and monitoring activities.

Administrators use Zone Settings to map out areas, assign locations, and configure how users interact with spaces in real time. The workflow involves uploading a background image, defining interactive shapes for locations, and linking these shapes to Evolution Locations or Location Groups. This enables users to visually select and book spaces, or monitor occupancy and availability directly from the widget interface.

Example: A facilities manager uploads a floor plan as a Zone background, draws shapes over meeting rooms, and links each shape to a specific Location in Evolution. End users can then click on these rooms in the widget to view availability or make bookings, streamlining the space management process and integrating seamlessly with Evolution’s core scheduling and reporting features.
