Zone Editor

Overview

The Zone Editor (screen K-01) is the interactive map interface for creating and managing geographic zones. These zones are named areas that the pricing engine uses when evaluating routes and applying tariffs.

Note on pricing: This page documents the Zone Editor user interface — how to draw and edit zones on the map. For information on how zones affect tariff calculations, multipliers, and conflict resolution, see Pricing Zones.

Opening the Zone Editor

Navigate to Settings → Zones (screen N-09) and click Open Zone Editor, or access it directly from the Pricing & Configuration → Zones section. The editor opens in full-screen map mode.

Drawing Toolbar

The toolbar on the left side of the map provides three drawing tools:

POINT tool

Used for a single named location (e.g. a specific airport, station, or venue).

• How to use: Click once on the map to place the point.
• The point is stored as a latitude/longitude coordinate pair.
• Useful for exact address-based zone matching in the pricing engine.

RADIUS tool

Used to define a circular area around a central point (e.g. a 10 km radius around an airport).

• How to use: Click on the map to set the centre, then drag outward to define the radius. Release to confirm.
• The centre coordinates (centerLatitude, centerLongitude) are set automatically from your click position.
• The radius is expressed in kilometres and editable in the properties panel after creation.

POLYGON tool

Used to draw any custom shaped area (e.g. a city boundary, an arrondissement, a business district).

• How to use: Click multiple times on the map to place vertices. Double-click on the last vertex to close the polygon.
• The centre coordinates (centerLatitude, centerLongitude) are calculated automatically as the geometric centroid of the polygon after closing.
• For complex areas, use the Import button to load pre-defined administrative boundaries (commune, département).

Zone Properties Panel

After drawing a zone — or after clicking an existing zone on the map — the properties panel slides in from the right. Editable fields:

Saving and Previewing

• Click Save in the properties panel to persist the zone.
• The zone immediately appears on the map with the chosen colour.
• Saved zones are instantly available in the pricing configuration for use in route and forfait definitions.

Editing an Existing Zone

1. Click on a zone boundary or marker on the map.
2. The properties panel opens with the current values.
3. Edit any field (name, multiplier, priority, colour).
4. To reshape the geometry: click Edit shape → drag vertices (polygon) or drag the radius handle (radius) → click Confirm shape.
5. Click Save.

Editing a zone boundary or properties does not automatically recalculate existing quotes or invoices that referenced it. Review affected routes and forfaits in the Pricing & Configuration section after any significant change.

Deleting a Zone

Open the zone's properties panel and click Delete zone. Confirm in the dialog. Zones that are currently referenced by active pricing rules (routes or forfaits) cannot be deleted — you must first remove or update those pricing rules.

Cross-reference

How zones affect the pricing engine — including multiplier stacking, conflict aggregation strategies, and zone type semantics — is documented in Pricing Zones.
