# Working of Area Of Service

Users can create Service Area in an Individual Detail Map by using 6 ways-

by File, by Proximity, by Region, by Drawing, by Territory & By Overlay. Let us consider by Proximity.

After creating the shape, the user can select the shape using align tool & right-click over it to select the Area of Service option to assign Service Area for individual records.

Once the area is assigned, the map can be refreshed to see the assigned Service Area for individual records.
