# Zones

A zone is a designated subsection within a [room](/asset-management/graphql-api-overview/rooms.md) or [floor](/asset-management/graphql-api-overview/floors.md), it is used to segment larger areas for more granular monitoring. Zones may represent specific areas like seating sections, workstations, or entry points.

This page provides guidance on how to [**retrieve**](#get-all-zones), [**create**](#create-zone-s), and [**update zone information** ](#update-zone-s)within a floor, enabling precise management of zone-specific data.

### Get all zones

```graphql
query allZones {
  zones {
    data {
      id
      metadata {
        ...MetaDataFragment
      }
      name
      area {
        ...AreaFragment
      }
      coordinates
      rotation
      capacity {
        ...CapacityFragment
      }
      sensors {
        id
        name
        ...SensorFragment
      }
      note
      customID
      tags {
        id
        name
        ...TagFragment
      }
      client_id
      floor_id
      room_id
      zone_id
    }

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.butlr.io/asset-management/graphql-api-overview/zones.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
