How-to Create an Exclusion Zone Inside an Inclusion Zone

You can create one exclusion area or exclusion zone inside a virtual paddock (or inclusion zone).

• To do this, begin by creating your virtual paddock as you normally would.
• Once you have defined your virtual paddock boundaries (your inclusion zone, abbreviated to IZ) and you have 'closed the shape by clicking back on the initial starting point, then your pointer is no longer attached to the polygon drawing tool.
• Now go over to the left side of the screen and find the EZ (or Exclusion Zone) button. Click on this.
• You can now define an Exclusion Zone within your virtual paddock. Adjust this zone until all the rules are satisfied.
• Finally you can make this virtual paddock and save it in the usual way.

Note that at this stage, you are limited to a single exclusion zone within your inclusion zone.

We will introduce permanent exclusion zones in future versions of the web app that will allow you to keep animals out of multiple areas. Exciting times!
