====== Create Time Attendance Zones ======

A TA zone represents a physical clocking point in a company and is therefore associated to a Time Recorder machine. Depending on the size of the company, it may happen that there are multiple TA zones.

===== Additional Information =====
{{skb:info.png}} It is recommended to choose "Daily Detail" for the Source Type - thus preventing the system from going through the whole month while loading the clock card data. This definitely helps in saving time during the loading process.
