# Assigning an Area to a Request (IOS)

You can assign an area to a Request. An Area could be an area within a job site or it could be related to the type of structure the Scaffold is for. Whilst, you can assign Areas on the mobile app, you cannot add Areas on the Mobile app. This has to be on the desktop app. Please see [Working with Areas](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/working-with-areas) for more information.

To assign an area to a request:

1. On the Map screen, tap the Request to assign to an Area.
2. Tap the Request details area ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/0ce041ba-e10d-4538-93a3-f1e0bd597930.png)
