Zone Linking
Zone Linking
The Zone Linking screen allows users to link physical zones with specific identifiers through a structured data collection process.
This feature enables users to scan zone identifiers to establish connections between physical and digital zones. It an also allow the user to create virtual zones that are shown in the system but do not physically exist. The screen provides a step-by-step workflow that guides users through configurable linking steps, ensuring accurate zone identification and proper data association for inventory management purposes.
