What is an area?
An area groups everything about one supported person — overview, apps, dashboards, settings.
Creating a new area
Realm admins create a new area from Admin → Areas management. Single-form flow, not a wizard.
Dashboard layouts
Each area has one of four dashboard layouts — Default widgets, Noticeboard, Forms or Utilities.
Roles and moderators
What regular members, area moderators, and realm admins can each do.
The area sidebar and apps
Every area has a left-rail sidebar listing every app. Here's what each link does.
Area settings
The per-area settings page: core details, apps, permissions, dashboard layout, archive.
Who can see this area?
How access is granted — named users, global access, inherited from a parent group.
Parent groups — organising your areas
How to split a realm into branches, locations or care types using parent groups.
Archiving an area
How to retire an area when the supported person leaves the service. Reversible.
