An area is a grouping of monitors defined by an administrator when monitors are added 
to the system. See Monitors – Definition on page 69. 
 
Selecting the Area View command from the Tools menu brings up the area viewer. This 
viewer is available to all users.

exist without at least one monitor assigned, an error message will appear.  
Defining at least one monitor in that area will eliminate this error.  See 
Monitors – Definition on page 69.
