Zones are an entirely new feature in the RollKall platform that give LEAs the ability to organize jobs into geographic areas. Agencies can apply their own definition of a zone to best fit their needs. This could include gaining oversight into where jobs are worked, or how many officers are in a particular zone.

Turning on zones

Zones are not enabled by default. To use zones, an administrator needs to turn the feature on. To do this, navigate to the administrator’s Agency Settings page. In the Location Settings sub-section, the administrator can choose “Yes.”

Adding, modifying, and deleting zones

Only administrators can add, modify, or delete zones. To find the Manage Zones button, navigate to the Projects page.

In the Locations sub-section, administrators can find the following Manage Zones options:

• Add zones - Create a name for a new zone
• Delete zones
• Modify zones

Adding a zone to a location

One of the required fields when creating a job is “location.” This describes the physical location where the officer should report for their job. After an administrator has created a list of zones for their agency, job creators can now select which zone the location of their job falls into, if any.

To select a zone when creating a job, choose one of the zones from the drop-down menu, found between the “zip code” and “location type” fields.

Once a location has been assigned to a zone, that zone will automatically be associated to new jobs that are created at that same location.

Using zones - filtering jobs by zone

When viewing jobs, jobs can be filtered depending on which zone they fall in. The filter can be used to view only jobs that fall in a specific zone. This option has been added to the filter that already exists on the Jobs list page.
