🎯 What are Zones?
Zones allow you to divide your work area into geographic regions. Each zone can contain multiple pools and be assigned to specific technicians.
Types of zones supported:
- 🟢 Manual - Manual pool assignment
- 🔵 Circle - Center + radius in kilometers
- 🟣 Polygon - Free area drawn on the map
✅ Available Features
Create Circle Zone
Draw a circle on the map: center + radius in kilometers. Pools within the radius can be assigned to the zone.
Create Polygon Zone
Draw the free contour on the map for irregular areas (coast, long urbanizations, etc.).

🤖 Automatic Assignment
When a pool has GPS coordinates, the system automatically suggests the corresponding area:
How it works:
- For circles: calculate distance from center
- For polygons: Ray Casting algorithm (point inside polygon)
- If it is in several areas, suggest the one closest to the center

"Can I have overlapping zones?"
Yes, a pool can be in several areas. The system suggests the best one according to distance from the center.
"What happens if I move a site zone?"
The pools maintain their assigned area. If you want to reassign them, do it manually or use "Suggest Zone" on each one.
"Does the polygon have a point limit?"
No, you can add as many vertices as you need to define the exact area.
"Are the zones visible in the technician's app?"
Indirectly. The technician sees their assigned pools, which are grouped by zone on the backend.
