🏗️ How to Create a New Zone or Subzone (Finca Yuyo)
Adding a new Zone (e.g. Studio, Volunteer Kitchen) or Subzone (e.g. Fridge, Fruit Bowl) is the first step before inventory items can be entered for that location.
Step-by-Step
- Log in to WordPress as an Administrator.
- In the left menu, go to
Tools → Create Location. - The Project is fixed to Finca Yuyo (cannot be changed).
- Select the Quarter from the dropdown.
- Select the Sixteenth that belongs to this Quarter.
- In the Zone field:
- Choose an existing zone if it already exists, or
- Select ➕ Create new zone…, then enter:
- Zone name (required)
- Slug (optional, auto-generated if left empty)
- Active checkbox (should stay checked).
- In the Subzone field:
- Choose an existing subzone, or
- Select ➕ Create new subzone…, then enter the details as above.
- Click Create.
- A green message “✅ Created: …” confirms success.
- The new Zone/Subzone will now appear automatically in all dropdowns across inventory and individual entry forms.
Notes
- Quarters and Sixteenths are fixed and can only be changed directly in the database.
- Always keep Active = yes so the location shows up in forms.
- Slugs should be lowercase and simple (e.g.
studio-fridge). The system will make them unique if needed.
