How To Create an Event Area - Video

To create your event Area you will have to create a New event first. Select your event Type and fill out the details of your New event. In the area of Location you will be able to start creating your event Area by selecting “Record event Area”. You can create a single closed polygon which requires 3 or more points where the first and last point of the shape meet. Start by clicking on the desired location on the map to add the first point. After that, you can start adding more points to create the area. You will get updated information on the perimeter and area as you start building your event Area. You need to add at least 3 points. If the shape intersects or it is not closed it will count as an invalid shape and you will not be able to save it. To close the area, press "enter" or "return" on your keyboard. You can also click directly on the first area. Once finished, you must click “save” to finish adding the area to your event. Note that only closed areas without intersecting segments can be saved. You will be sent back to the New event screen, now the Location field is filled with your event Area information. When the information is complete, click Save and the New event will be saved with the event Area attached.
