Areas are a hierarchal feature to manage a team with a large number of members and Locations. They Allow Team owners or administrators to easily manage and control who can & can't see specific Location information.

The top level area is always the name of your team. Clicking on the symbols next to the area will allow you to create a new Areas. Once created, an Area will become a selectable option when browsing the Area side menu or as an option when inviting a new member to your team and also when creating a new
Location.

Once a User is placed in an Area they can only see Locations which are in their Area or any Areas under their Area. For example if a User was Assigned to the Clinic above they could see Location in The Clinic and Also Locations in The Fridge and Freezer Sub Areas.
