Managing Regions

Regions let you group locations into geographic areas for tester rostering and scheduling.

Creating a Region​

  1. Go to Setup > Regions
  2. Click Add Region
  3. Enter a Name for the region — e.g., "North Queensland", "Western Sydney"
  4. Click Save

Assigning Locations to a Region​

  1. Click Locations next to the region
  2. A checkbox list of available locations appears — only locations not already assigned to another region are shown
  3. Tick the locations you want to include
  4. Click Save

Each region displays a location count so you can see how many sites are grouped under it.

Status​

Regions have two statuses:

StatusBadgeMeaning
ActiveGreenAvailable for rostering and selections
InactiveGreyHidden from rostering but kept for records

Deactivating a Region​

Toggle a region to Inactive to temporarily remove it from rostering options. Inactive regions:

  • Won't appear in roster or selection scope options
  • Will still appear in historical data and reports

Toggle back to Active to restore it.

Editing a Region​

  1. Click Edit next to the region
  2. Update the name
  3. Click Save

Deleting a Region​

Click Delete to permanently remove a region. Any locations assigned to it will become unassigned.

Customising the term "Region"​

The label "Region" can be changed to something that suits your organisation — for example, "Area", "Zone", or "District". Go to Settings > Terminology to update this. The new term will appear throughout FairTest wherever "Region" is used.
