Areas

Note

Areas require the Areas module to be enabled. Go to Settings → Features to turn it on.

An area is a named subdivision of a product. Areas allow you to break a larger product into smaller pages, templates, components, features, and processes — for example “Homepage”, “Checkout flow”, or “Navigation component”. Once areas are enabled, issues, risks, and audits can be scoped to one or more areas, making it easier to filter work by part of the product.

The areas table

The Areas tab shows a paginated data table with columns for name, type, and importance. You can sort and filter the list — for example, filtering by importance to focus on high-priority areas.

Creating an area

Only admins and owners can create areas.

1. Open a product and go to the Areas tab.

2. Click New area.

3. Fill in the details:

   Field	Description
   Name	A short label for the area. A slug is generated automatically.
   Type	Page, Template, Component, Process, or Feature. Defaults to Page.
   Importance	High, Normal, or Low. Defaults to Normal.

4. Click Create.

Editing an area

Open an area and click Edit to change its name, type, or importance.

Tagging issues, risks, and audits with areas

When creating or editing an issue, risk, or audit, use the Areas field to associate it with one or more areas. This scopes the item to specific parts of the product.

Archiving an area

Archiving an area removes it from active lists without deleting its data. Issues and risks tagged with an archived area retain the association.

Note

Archiving a product automatically archives all of its areas. You cannot unarchive an area while its parent product is archived.

To archive an area:

1. Open the area.
2. Click Archive and confirm.

To restore it, switch to the Archived view in the product’s Areas tab and click Unarchive.

Deleting an area

1. Open the area.
2. Click Delete and confirm.

Deleting an area removes it permanently. Issues, risks, and audits that were tagged with it lose that association.
