Zones are used to divide large locations/buildings into smaller, more easily managed areas for reporting purposes and for locating specific assets. A good example of using zones is in a building that has multiple floors. Devices located on the first floor of the building could be grouped into a single zone called "First Floor Assets".
A Zone Map is a visual representation of the assets contained in a zone. A Zone Map uses a floor plan to show the location of the assets within the building, and also uses symbols to represent the different asset types on the floor plan.
Below is a basic Zone Map that was created in FormLink using the Define Zone Maps feature.

Note: If you have a location where it is important to show more details regarding where a device is located, you could consider using a more detailed floor plan showing columns or posts, stairways, elevators, etc.
If you simply need to know a general location for your map, such as "Room Number 5", a floor plan showing only rooms would be the most beneficial.
