General
The general section provides a general overview of the scaffold, including the area it is assigned to.

Area
An area is a useful way to group scaffolds or requests together allowing users to easily organise their scaffolds or requests into relevant groups. These areas can be geographical (an area in a jobsite) or they could be used group scaffolds together depending on the unit that the scaffold is built on. For example, an area could be created that groups together scaffold that are erected around an Alkylation Unit. The area could then be called ALKY. This can be changed by using the Edit button.
To assign an area to a request or scaffold, please see the Assigning an Area to a Request guide.
