In the Overall Process Analysis, processes are arranged in Zone Types that correspond to sections of your construction project with different process sequences, e.g. the room types.
With the editing functions of the Zone Types, you can, for example, save parts of the process chains as templates and reuse them or lock areas in which final processing statuses are recorded.

- Add predefined Zone Types
- Remove Zone Types
- Save Zone Types in the Fragnet Library
