====== Area Code ======

An Area Code is a dropdown value which is assigned to a [[Site]] (or sometimes to [[Equipment]]). They are designed to help categorize Sites into zones, regions or other groups, usually based on geography.

The Area Code can be added directly into the list when clicking the 'Add New Area' button as there are only two fields to be filled in.
