# Zones

Zones are a powerful feature of our platform that allows event moderators to create designated areas based on the layout of their events. With zones, moderators have full control over defining the spaces within their events and managing access for visitors.

By creating zones, event moderators can effectively segment different areas of their events, such as exhibition halls, conference rooms, backstage or VIP sections. This enables you to implement specific rules and assign access privileges accordingly. For instance, they can restrict access to certain zones or grant VIP access to select attendees.

To facilitate checking people into specific zones, event moderators can leverage our Eventication app in combination with scan devices. Attendees can be easily checked into a particular zone by scanning their event ticket or wristband using the app on a scan device. This streamlines the check-in process and ensures accurate tracking of attendees within their designated zones.

{% hint style="info" %}
Zones can be added to members automatically or manually. Check [this page](/event/accreditation/members/zone-access.md) for more information.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Zones can be added to attendees in the lists [automatically](/event/accreditation/lists/forms/zones.md) or [manually](/event/accreditation/lists/forms/attendees/zones.md).
{% endhint %}

## Details

All zones have a **name** and a **zone code**.

## Dependencies

Every zone has dependencies, objects that depend on this zone.

{% hint style="info" %}
Examples of dependencies:

**Normal zones**

* List [attendees](/event/accreditation/lists/forms/attendees/zones.md) can have this zone
* Members can have this zone as [default](/event/accreditation/members.md#default-zones)
* [Substations](/event/planning/stations/substations.md) can have this zone
* Lists that use this zone as [default zone](/event/accreditation/lists/defaults.md#default-zones) access\\

**Parking zones**

* [List forms](/event/accreditation/lists/forms/form-details.md) that use this parking zone
* Members with this parking zone [specific for them](/event/accreditation/members/vehicle.md)
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
A zone can not be removed before all dependencies are directed to another zone.
{% endhint %}

## Parking zones

In addition to creating zones for people, Zones also provide dedicated parking zones for vehicles. This allows event organizers to efficiently manage parking arrangements and ensure smooth traffic flow within the event venue.

### Occupancy

On the Occupancy page of parking zones you can find an overview per day of the following data:

* **Potential vehicles**: The total number of parking allocation of this zone you gave your forms.
* **Added vehicles**: The number of vehicles that have been added on this day on this zone.
* **Downloaded parking cards**: The number of vehicles that have downloaded their parking card on this day for this zone.
