Neighbours Verified Assigned Areas
An Assigned Area is a hyper-local area within your jurisdiction. Assigned Areas break up a organisation's jurisdiction into smaller, more specific areas such as zones, districts, resident associations and or neighbourhoods. Assigned Areas serve various functions, including:
- Allowing Neighbours Verified users to subscribe to receive email alerts specific to an assigned area.
- Enabling Neighbours Verified users to tailor their feed to focus solely on an assigned area or revert back to the entire jurisdiction.
- Empowering Neighbours Verified users to post messages to one or multiple designated areas simultaneously.
