Assigning zones to a Coverage Beam

In order to create a coverage beam, you must add the zones that you wish to be covered or avoided by the beam.

Create Coverage Beam

When you create a new Coverage Beam you'll see that in the Optimization Zones section, a message will be displayed to say that no zones are assigned yet.

Click on the plus icon to add zones to the beam. The Assign Zones to Beam Panel will appear, displaying all the zones in the project on the left. Use the + icon to add the desired zones to the Coverage Beam. You can use the search bar to find zones in the list. The panel can also be moved, and you can use the viewport to select the zones you wish to add.

Adjusting zone parameters

Once a zone is added, you'll see it appear on the right side of the Assign Zones to Beam Panel, and each zone will have the following parameters that you can set:

Parameter	Type of Interaction	Function
Cover/Avoid	selector	defines whether a beam should cover or avoid a certain zone. This can be applied to both Audience Zones and Boundary Zones.
Relative Level	slider	adjusts the output level of an individual zone within the beam.
Relative Priority	slider	defines the priority that a beam assigns to an individual zone in relation to other zones in the same beam.

Close the Assign Zones to Beam Panel after adding your zones.
