How to Set Up Hall Zones in IZI
How to Set Up Hall Zones in IZI
Section titled “How to Set Up Hall Zones in IZI”A zone is a group of devices inside a club that share the same hardware tier and the same pricing. Before you connect your first PC, you need at least one zone: the IZI Agent requests a zone assignment during installation, and without one the device cannot be registered. Zones are also the foundation for tariffs — each tariff sets a price separately for every zone, so you can maintain a single price list while charging different rates for different hardware. A typical setup uses three zones — Standard, Pro, and VIP — with a higher rate for more powerful machines. You can name zones however makes sense for your club: by row number, by device type (PC, PlayStation), or any other label your cashiers will immediately recognise.
In IZI CRM, zones live under Equipment → Zones. The list shows every zone in the club along with the number of attached devices, the auto-reboot status, and edit/delete controls. The list supports name search and drag-and-drop reordering.
Step 1 — Open the Zones section
Section titled “Step 1 — Open the Zones section”- Navigate to your club in IZI CRM.
- In the sidebar, select Equipment.
- Click the Zones tab or sub-section.
If no zones exist yet, you will see an empty state with the prompt “Create your first zone to get started.”
Step 2 — Create a zone
Section titled “Step 2 — Create a zone”- Click the Add button in the top-right corner of the page.
- The New Zone dialog opens.
- Fill in the Zone Name field — enter a label that cashiers and reports will display (for example
Standard,VIP,Hall 2). Maximum length is 50 characters. - Configure the PC Reboot After Session toggle:
- On (default) — the IZI Agent automatically reboots the computer after each session ends and before the next player starts. This guarantees a clean system state for every customer.
- Off — the machine stays on between sessions. Useful for zones where a reboot is not desirable, such as server PCs or zones running specialised long-running software.
- Click Save.
IZI shows a confirmation notification and adds the zone to the list. Repeat for each zone in your club.
Step 3 — Review the zone list
Section titled “Step 3 — Review the zone list”After creating all zones, verify the following:
| Column | What to check |
|---|---|
| Name | The zone label is clear to cashiers and matches the physical floor layout |
| Devices | Shows “0 devices” — this is expected; devices are added in the next setup step |
| Auto-reboot | Recommended on for PC zones. If disabled, the list shows an “Auto-reboot off” indicator |
Drag zones into the order that makes sense for your workflow — hold the dot-handle icon to the left of the name and drop the zone in the target position.
Editing and deleting zones
Section titled “Editing and deleting zones”Rename a zone or change its reboot setting — click the pencil icon next to the zone. The same dialog opens with pre-filled values. Make your changes and click Save.
Delete a zone — click the trash icon. CRM asks for confirmation: “Are you sure you want to delete zone <name>? This action cannot be undone.” Deletion is a soft delete, so the zone can be recovered via API if required. If the zone contains devices, move them to another zone before deleting.
What to do next
Section titled “What to do next”Once zones are in place, you are ready for the next steps in your club setup:
- Connect your first PC — during IZI Agent installation the agent will request a zone from the list you just created.
- Create tariffs — when building a tariff you set a price per zone, reflecting the different hardware tiers across your hall.
- Devices, zones, and tariffs overview — how these three entities relate to each other in IZI.
Common questions during first-time setup
Section titled “Common questions during first-time setup”How many zones should I create? It depends on your floor plan and pricing policy. If all PCs are identical and the price is the same across the hall, one zone is enough. If you have multiple hardware tiers at different price points, create one zone per tier. You can always add more zones as the club grows.
What should I name my zones? Choose labels that cashiers understand without extra explanation. Zone names appear in the point-of-sale interface, session history, and reports. Short, clear names — VIP, Pro, Standard, or Hall 1 / Hall 2 — work better than long descriptions.
The agent shows an empty zone list during installation. Make sure the zones were created for the same club the PC is being registered to. The IZI Agent only sees zones belonging to its own club.
Frequently asked questions
Why create zones before connecting devices?
The IZI Agent asks for a zone name during installation. Without at least one zone already created, the agent cannot register the device. Create your zones first, then connect PCs.
How many zones can I create in a single club?
There is no limit. Create as many zones as your floor plan and pricing structure require.
Can I rename a zone after it has been created?
Yes. Open the zone list, click the edit icon next to the zone, and update the Zone Name field. The change takes effect immediately and does not affect tariffs or connected devices.
What happens to devices when I delete a zone?
Deletion is a soft delete — the zone is hidden from the interface but can be restored via the API if needed. Before deleting, reassign any devices in that zone to another zone.
What does the PC Reboot After Session toggle do?
When enabled (default), the IZI Agent automatically reboots the PC after each session ends and before the next player's session begins. This ensures a clean system state for every customer. Disable it for zones where reboots are undesirable — for example, server PCs or workstations running long-running software.
Can I reorder zones in the list?
Yes. Zones support drag-and-drop reordering — hold the drag handle icon and move the zone to the desired position. Order affects how zones appear throughout the CRM.
Do I need to recreate tariffs when I add a new zone?
No. In IZI, a tariff stores a price per zone. After creating a new zone, simply add a price for it in the relevant tariffs — no need to recreate the tariff from scratch.
What permissions does a staff member need to manage zones?
The ZONE_CREATE, ZONE_EDIT, and ZONE_DELETE permissions are configured in club roles. The club owner has all rights by default. For staff with limited access, assign these permissions explicitly in the Roles settings section.
