# Zones

Zones allow you to set specific options for circular or polygon areas, such as ping on entry, ban on kill, etc. Typical application areas are base alarms and safe zones, but they are not limited to just those.

{% hint style="info" %}
Zones **only** work if there is an event in the log file inside the area the Zone covers.
{% endhint %}

## Creating Zones

To create a Zone, you first need to open the page for Zone Creation. You can choose between inputting the coordinates or doing it via an interactive web map.

After you open the page for Zone creation, you can configure the zone to your needs. All the labels within the form have tooltips you can read to get info on what those settings do.
