Create Inventory Zones and Assign Workers to Zones

In this demo, I will show how to create inventory zones and assign workers to zones. Zones are groups of subinventories and locators primarily used to manage tasks and workers efficiently. For example, a warehouse may have different areas where specific sets of workers perform tasks. You can create zones for these areas and assign workers to them. When assigning tasks using the Inventory Task Assignments page, you can easily find available workers in a zone and assign tasks accordingly.

You can access the Inventory Zones page from the Inventory Management work area or through Quick Actions. The page displays all the active zones by default. You can search by zone name, description, or status. To create a new zone, click Create. Enter the name and description for the zone and click Create.

Once the zone is created, you need to add the activities that are supported in the zone. To do that, click Add under the Activities section and select the activities. I'm going to add cycle count and pick confirm activities for the zone.

The next step is to add some subinventories and locators to the zone. Click the Add button under the subinventories and locators section. A drawer opens where you can search and select the subinventories and locators you want to add. Then click Add to include them in the zone. Click Activate to make the zone active.

Now I will show how to assign workers to the zone. Use the in-app navigation to go to the zone worker assignments page. Here, you have an option to view assignments by zone or by worker. By default, it shows the zone view. Search for the zone you want to assign workers to.

On the right, you will see the workers assigned to the zone and have an option to assign workers. To assign workers, click the plus icon. Select the activity type for which you want to assign workers. I'm going to select all activities. To search for workers, you have a couple of options. You can select workers from a list of those already assigned to other zones, or you can select new workers. I'm going to choose new workers. Click Add worker, then search and select the workers from the list.

Click Assign. Now you can see the workers are assigned to the zone. Next, I'll quickly show the worker view. Select worker from the filtered dropdown. This shows the list of workers already assigned to zones. When you select a worker, it displays the list of zones the worker is assigned to. To assign more zones to the worker, click Assign. A drawer opens where you can select the zone.

Click Assign to add the zone to the worker. Now you can see the zone is assigned to the worker. This concludes my demonstration. Thank you for watching.
